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

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.

I think light chicken meat tastes better than dark, hands down, always. I always thought dark meat was used because it's cheaper, or because they have to use it in something to get rid of it. I never knew it was because it was a traditional recipe thing - TIL, thanks!

Edit pound for pound, dark meat is less expensive than light, so cost may still be a factor, but it means I can still hope to find a place that makes a more luxurious General Tso's, etc, with white. Still, lucky for you that you prefer the cheaper stuff! It's like, I still prefer Taco Bell to fancy restaurants that make tacos with surloin slices or some crap - just give me ground beef, for christsakes.
