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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

I'm kind of like how many things that are made in the USA are more accurately described as being "partially assembled in the USA", by the way a product can say that it is for instance, "made with 100% beef" while actually containing many non beef products, since that can be more accurately specified as "100% of the beef in this product is made with 100% beef"

100 percent beef rarely computes. Technically adding and salt now makes it less than 100 percent. We certainly want to know when it is 50 percent soy meal but if you allow other ingredients to be ignored, than the guys that add soy also want to embellish. Like you said, only 100 percent of the beef is 100 percent beef.
