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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

You're probably thinking of a stromboli.
You're thinking of a pizza roll
Probably.
Honestly it's so weird. I've been all over and have seen a lot of calzones with sauce inside, and I've seen most strombolis without sauce but with ricotta. But it's still a gamble unless their menu specifically says how they make it.
I prefer the sauce on the side, so I usually get a stromboli, ask for a container of sauce, and roll the dice unless it's a place I know.
Like all exported recipes, it's regional. It's like how American pizza is quite different from Italy. But true pizza isn't the #1 food in the world, now is it? I mean American pizza probably isn't either when other cuisines win by shear population by who's counting
I'll say it, American pizza is the #1 food in the world. As chosen by me, an American
Never been there but I could bet pizza in new york is pretty serious
Let us take to the experts.

This source also specifies strombolis are a different shape, and tbh at one time that was true, but I think that practice has mostly died out and the shape of the two is now often "the same" but dependant on location. The sauce v ricotta situation however is nonnegotiable and places that swap them are wrong.

I’m not done eating the last batch of pizza rolls that Mr Plinkette mailed me.
Your thinking of a dish that is toppings on top of cheese red sauce and bread.
