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

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.

Of course you can grill veggies and alternatives, but grilling is such a meat culture.

All the vegans I know own grills.

Same, but it's usually a part of a family rather than the whole fam.

Thing is, if you are vegan you still have quite some options when bbqing. Grilling is one of the more fun ways to spice it up. Especially when you start using spices!

Considering BBQs are either a status symbol or a necessity that is dirt-cheap while also lasting quite long, I don't think any non-premium company is in it for the sales. It's a side business they do.

Sure, high-end BBQs are a different thing. But they sell as part of furnishing a house, not as part of your diet.

Grill is such a broad term, too. Camping grills, tripod saucer grills, suburban home grills, BBQ grills, home made fire pit with iron grates. Perhaps we'll see certain types become less popular, but the grill has existed for nearly as long as civilization.

I’m grilling for my family all the time. All vegan. My son loves grilled corn, and there’s plenty of plant based burgers and hot dogs.

Yeah. We do a lot of those for vegan family members and veg for all of us. I just wondered if it was trending down at all. We would probably have a smaller grill if we weren't also cooking meat several times per week.

The Hearth, Patio, and Bbq Assoc. said that in 2021, 70% of American homes (i know that's not the world, but it's where the study was) owned a grill. That's up from 64% in 2019. So, no, not declining.
