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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That's actually also the only reference to a pure potatoe variant of mashed potatoes I could find: Kartoffel-Reis or Kartoffel-Schnee (potatoe rice/ snow) in the german Wikipedia (no mentioning of something similar in the english version).
But they apparently require a special preparation to get their unique texture.
Also, I am german but have never heard of it before. Not that common I would say. And for sure nothing one would think of when hearing "mashed potatoes".
