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

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".
