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

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.)

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.

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.
