A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I'm not talking about while you're eating, I'm talking about during the next couple hours after over eating. A food coma is absolutely the same feeling as a good high from some drugs. After eating a way too huge meal and laying on the couch i feel soooooo relaxed and floaty and drifting in and out of heavy sleep.

I've fasted before. Just three days so I can eat normally on the 4th and not having worry about refeeding syndrome. I'm pretty sure hes talking about your daily electrolyte requirements

  • Sodium: 1500 mg for adult men and women
    
  • Potassium: 3400 mg for adult men and 2600 mg for adult women
    
  • Chloride: 2300 mg for adult men and women
    
  • Magnesium: 420 mg for adult men and 320 mg for adult women 
    
  • Calcium: 1000 mg for adult men and 1200 mg for adult women 
    

I bought nu salt(potassium chloride) and added that to regular salt to my jug of water(2L) and a Cal+Mag pill. I didn't do long fasts so it didn't really matter for me, but they are crucial for any extended fast.
