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 and the TOS

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.

In New Orleans there is an eggnog daiquiri around this time and it’s fucking FANTASTIC.

There's an ice cream parlor near me that makes a fantastic egg nog ice cream in house. Love this season.

It's usually only stocked in stores around the holidays and I am too lazy to make it on a whim.

So, because of that, yes. It is only a holiday drink for me. It's unfortunate, because I love the stuff. (Even when I drank, I didn't care for it with alcohol.)

I don't know if anyone really was putting on airs when it came to the classification of egg nog

...with alcohol if you're lucky.

I would rather have them separately, to be honest.
