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.

Heating causes evaporation even if boiling isn't technically achieved.
Like how salt pools will evaporate out water despite the earth not constantly being at 100° C.
It's impossible to heat something in a sealed container?
But, regardless, by that definition, all liquids are evaporated liquids, because all liquids evaporate at least a little by the time you get it in your pie-hole.
No, but pasteurization technically is done with an open top container
And, yeah that is technically correct, hence it being in showerthoughts
Let me introduce you to the concept of vapor pressure. The volatility of a material depends on the temperature. Even cold water will still evaporate slowly. Instead is being a binary things, the vapor pressure will increase gradually as the temperature increases.
This means, that you can empty a glass of water by just waiting. You don’t even need to boil the water to make it evaporate. It’s already evaporating very slowly, even in room temperature.
Therefore, raw milk straight from the udder, is also evaporated milk.
