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

Tell me you don't know how to cook without telling me you don't know how to cook.

Pre-heating is useful.

Do you prefer your food to taste good or not?

But reading the T&C is useless.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

No, most people pre-heat their ovens.

I pre heat, but usually don't read all the t & c ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Confidentially incorrect. (Before someone wants to correct me, it's intentional.)

Everyone pre-heats their oven! ...Don't they?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

You... You don't preheat your oven?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

How are these things related?

Reading terms and conditions is much more time consuming than preheating.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I pre-heat and I read tos;dr for laughs and giggles of what they're trying to force me to agree to.

[โ€“] Mechanite 5 points 7 months ago

Do you not preheat your oven..?

[โ€“] NeptuneOrbit 4 points 7 months ago

It really depends in both cases.

Hearing a frozen pizza? Maybe I won't wait for it to pre heat fully. Something I made to bake from scratch, following a recipe? Yeah I will wait for the oven to pre heat.

Same with terms and conditions. In many cases I won't read them, but some deserve a skim or a serious read.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I take the easy way out https://tosdr.org (no oven btw).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Nope,

I preheat the oven consistently but don't consistently read terms and conditions or license agreements.

You can't read stuff with a beer in one hand and the grill tongs in the other.
