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.

Meat? 😃

Meat flavored? 🤢

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Bacon flavor is pretty rad

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Isn't that just a fig?

Pieces of melon wrapped with a little prosciutto is very good.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

A nice ripe pear as well.

Lucky you. I've never found a date willing to wrap herself in bacon

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Life Pro Tip.

Cook the bacon and let it cool first, before applying.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahhh, that’s where I messed up! I forgot to cool the bacon first!

Chin up, mate. Your ship will come in some day.

Green tomatoes fried in bacon fat? Sounds pretty good to me.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 days ago

ikr OP has never been to a US county fair. They take any food, and deep-fry it.

That's not the kind of fruit we're talking about and you know it.

The magical fruit?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Lots of fruits are good with a bit of bacon. Especially if you have some brie in the mix but not only. Peaches with a caramelized onion and bacon jam, apple slices with a sliver of bacon or salami. Was it elvis who used to like peanut butter banana and bacon sandwiches?

Mincemeat Pie Begs To Differ

Nowadays you may not find meat, but 'authentic' could still include suet.

[–] ptc075@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Came here to mention mincemeat. Good stuff.

For those of you who have never tried it - it's mostly dark brown sugar, cinnamon, & raisins. But it has that fatty aftertaste you normally associate with bacon as well.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

They both sound gross.

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

You’ve never had my lamb sausage dusted strawberries obviously.

Maple with a bit of meat sounds good (maple bacon)

[–] HikingVet 9 points 2 days ago

Uh, where's the fruit of a maple tree? The sap is good once boiled down, but maple isn't a recognized fruit.

Thats because fruit tastes good and meat does not. Adding fruit to meat would better the meats taste, but adding meat to fruit will worsen the fruits taste
