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.

The pawpaw can come pretty close to that.

Pawpaws are way more tropically flavored than apples in my experience. Closer to pineapple

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That is true, but I have had a couple that were apple-y.

I think of them as tasting like banana-melon

Banana texture is the worst. When I try to eat a banana, a lot of times I end up just chewing it to death, because my body just will not allow me to swallow it.

Good question 🙅‍♂️ So, I just don't eat bananas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I think you have the same thing as me: banana-allergies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That happens to me with raw carrots.

There is no alternate universes.

Come on, don't ruin the fun for the rest of us!

This already exists. There's a banana (in Vietnam, but I'd assume not just there) that's smallish and rounder than most others which has a distinctly sour taste that reminds me strongly of apple. Ymmv, taste being a very subjective thing.

Probably 'Silk', AKA Latundan, from the Philippines.
