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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Babe, what's wrong? You've barely touched your fruit salad?
So clearly Lasagna is a fruit cake.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a shower thought. Nice one!
It was low hanging fruit.
I dunno, man. It seems apples to oranges.
Fruit pie
Yeah crust on top. Its a pie.
Crust on top is not the distinguishing feature between pies and tarts. Tarts often have top crusts. The only consistent difference is the angle and sturdiness of the sides - tarts have vertical (or nearly), sturdy sides, pies have angled sides that are less sturdy.
wait, you finish your lasagna with just plain pasta? You don't cover it with more sauce and cheese?
Egg wash it. Crispy top
Edit: and cheese and a spritz of oil but certainly not more sauce on top. Way to wet
Hot take, but lasagna noodles should never be crispy
If my gramma had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.
Y'know, if it had ham in it, it's closer to a British carbonara
And then everyone would ride her
That was not the order of operations for their grandmother
I dunno bro:
Please Exercise My Dear Aunt Sally
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Pizza is a fruit pie
I thought about that too but I think the Mozz disqualifies it sadly.
There are some people in the Midwest who like to put a slice of cheddar on top of their pie.
So is cheese cake not a cake?
And cheese danishes not pastries?
Pizza is a fruit pie.
Lasagna is a fruit cake.
Water is lava.
Cats are living with dogs.
Mass hysteria is already here.
Good luck with your Mozzarella Cheesecake, pal.
Don't tempt me with a good time homie! Now excuse my while I eat my Mac and cheddar cereal.
I would be interested in a mozzarella cheesecake. Like a soufflé but less egg?
Lasagna is tomato cake
Keep on going. Eventually you’ll prove that lasagna is a sandwich.
Is there such thing as a sandwich cake?
After a quick googling, I'm going with sponge cakes are a sandwich.
Only if you put it on top of a pizza and below an upside-down pizza.
You know... Lasagna is sauce, cheese and vegetables or meat on a dough base.
Lasagna is a pizza.
Getting closer. What if you think of pasta as type of unleavened bread. It’s made of wheat flour after all.
Its a dagwood multiple layers of toppings, with layers of bread in between
As it contains cheese!
A layered tomato cheesecake.
Just said the same thing further up. Doubly so for veggie lasagne containing even more fruits like zucchini and peppers.
Waiting on the new lasagna-flavored Pop-Tarts to appear any day now...
That's just a hot pocket.
I'm not sure if I buy this but a sweet lasagna could be interesting 🤔
there are dessert lasgnas, like dessert pizzas
I will look into dessert lasagna!
Layer cake is a dessert lasagna.
What is cake? It sounds like there are some options here 😋
How about "veggie" lasagna, which I mostly made up of fruits like zucchini and peppers? Grain for the dough? Dehulled nuts. Sounds like a cake to me not completely unlike baclava.
I have made baklava as recently as a year ago, and have heard of savory baklava, so why not?
if your lasagna is tart you better toss it
I think we might have very different definitions of tart.
