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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

A pizza flavored Hot Pocket is just a calzone...

A calzone doesn't have tomatoe sauce in it. Also this is a terrible insult to calzones everywhere.

Wikipedia wants to fight you over that statement

This looks like it has sauce ON it. Like a calzone.

If it is the same as a calzone, but has sauce IN it, then its not a calzone, its a stromboli.

To add: calzone necessitates ricotta.

My "from scratch" cooking journey started with hand mixed pizza dough, whole milk transmuted into ricotta, fresh veg... store bought mozzarella and a marinara made from canned tomatoes and dried seasonings.

Made calzones/strombolis once a week for months.

Highly recommend it.

High levels of "from scratch" pride, overall simple, super interesting and educating, and mid-low difficulty level, once you have a pizza stone and know how to use corn meal correctly.

Good point. This calzone checks out.

I've never has a Calzone without red sauce and cheese.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A great combination, but if the red sauce was inside the calzone, that means you've never had a calzone. You have had strombolis.

Maybe you haven't had a Calzone in the US....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I live in the US.

I have had Calzones in the US. I have had Strombolis in the US.

I have made Calzones myself. I have made Strombolis myself.

I will say though, when someone serves me a Stromboli and calls it a Calzone, it is almost always a shit Stromboli.

Says who?!

You take your meaty red sauce you made from scratch and you put it in a pizza crust with some toppings.
