Showerthoughts

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:

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
  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.

Steam does suck though? It's hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.

Looks like we have a noob that wouldn't survive 10 minutes in a kitchen lobby here. Everyone knows that cooking with steam preserves nutrients, enhances flavor, and retains the natural texture of food.

Seriously. This punk thinks he can have any form of serious power without steam. What a chump

Well you can have solar, wind, and hydroelectric without steam, so it's not like you need steam

I didn't say there weren't some forms of generation that didn't involve steam. I'm just saying those pathetic puny sources will never amount to the energy produced by generating steam. The sun won't always shine, and the wind won't always blow. And there's only so many places you can capture flowing water. And even the most effective forms of solar use solar thermal to make steam. We just have to admit that steam is the GOAT

They discovered a new power source!
Does it involve creating steam and generating power from that?
Well, huh, never mind.

Boiling. It's a crime.
