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:
- 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.

Plenty of vegan Worcestershire sauces available, just like there's vegan cheese and butter and milk and sausages and burgers and nuggets..
You being a pedant/snob/militant carnivore/whatever isn't going to stop people making vegan versions of things and calling them the thing. Because there's no reason not to other than the hurt fee fees of people like you.
There are vegan sauces that are quite nice, sure, they're just not Worcestershire sauce.
Hell, I'll go further and say that if it's not made by Lea and Perrins, it's not Worcestershire sauce.
Why are vegans obsessed with making cheap knockoff versions of nonvegan food? Cant they make their own foods?
Cause that way you can eat mac and cheese with hot dogs drowned in mayo without killing animals.
Most vegans don't do it for the health benefits, that's just an excuse to tell others.
most food is "vegan food". have you ever had a potato?
I have which is why I don’t understand eg vegan burgers
why are carnists obsessed with stuffing intestinal linings with churned up flesh to make their food shaped like zucchini?
It would be weird if we called it carnivore zucchini. We don’t.
You’re welcome to call veggie burgers their own thing. They don’t need to be veggie burgers. Or vegan bacon. You can just call it “processed vegetable paste planks” or whatever gets your rocks off, honey. You don’t get to criticize us for our choice of food and also work as hard as you can to mimic that food, no matter how self-righteous you feel.
how do you know someone eats animal flesh and excretions? don't worry, they'll tell you.
Just gonna insult me then?
Kk sweeite. Great look. Such class.
Is it because you don’t know the answer to my question or because saying the answer out loud makes you feel ashamed?
ha! love it. I'm just messing with you, it's clear you haven't really thought any of this through; culture changes and I get that it can feel scary that you're being left behind.
I’m not vegan, but I smell that burn like a barbecue is nearby.
