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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Did you know that when you fry mustard seeds, they pop like popcorn?

Well, I didn't, so I hadn't put a lid on.

I was still finding the little fuckers several months after the incident, in all kinds of corners of my kitchen.

Ok but how did the mustard seed popcorn taste?

Ah, "pop like popcorn" was maybe a bit misleading. I mainly meant that it jumped out of the pot violently. It didn't turn inside-out like maize popcorn does.

So, the taste was essentially unaltered. The seed had burst open, though, so maybe that would help, if you wanted to make a sauce more spicy.
