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

Or fries are just potato strips cooked in oil.

well, yeah? what's wrong with saying that? this is not the same point you're making about chicken breast vs chicken mash

The point about the chicken mash is not the main point. Merely an observation about the caveat in my main point that the statement about orange chicken being orange and chicken is essentially just listing ingreadients.

Like saying cake is just flour eggs butter and sugar.

Yeah. Orange chicken is just orange sauce and chicken nuggets. Of course it is.
