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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You can boil water with water by using the electricity from hydro power to power your kettle. (sh.itjust.works)

I own an electric kettle and I boil my water in the microwave!

(Watch this brit go insane over microwaved water.)

Sorry, I'm having trouble formulating a response with my entirely blown mind.

Scum, sub-human scum.

Besides the kettle is only for hot chocolate! You fill it up, put swissmiss in it and turn it on!

wtf? You bought a kettle for swiss miss. Heresy! Only tea should go in kettles, everybody knows that.

Got it, I'll try putting Arnold Palmer half & half in it next time.
