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.

Unless youre getting some stone hard soap bar from the Russians, yeah, you can actually taste if there is or isn't something added to your weed. Just like you would if I dipped your cigarette in petrol and let it dry out before you smoked it. It would be painfully obvious it's adulterated.
And again, for what reason? What is the motivation of adulterating drugs?
Afaik various random amphetamines are most often sold as molly and especially lsd
Why would you sell someone amphetamines as lsd? First off, LSD is cheaper, by a lot. Secondly, you use them in completely different ways and one is stinky af and the other is completely tasteless. It'd be like trying to pass off coffee as hot chocolate. Do the drinks have some vague similarity and a person who doesn't know what either means could be mistaken? Yeah.
But anyone who's ever had a cup of coffee wouldn't.
Well sounds like you're in, idk, some Asian country with extremely harsh drug laws? Even so, you could order it by post for 20 dollars a tab. You'd have to pay in crypto and there's not a guarantee it makes it there, but just because you don't know any sellers doesn't mean it's not there's. You just don't have the connections.
Why would lsd be cheaper when it's well-known that it's difficult to produce? Whereas, from what I know, there are a whole bunch of different amphetamines, and e.g. meth is pretty abundant.
A person who's never tried actual lsd by the virtue of absence of such in their country, wouldn't know what it should be like. They'd just have some buzz and a somewhat psychedelic effect from whatever they were sold. I'm not convinced you yourself got real lsd, if you think it's cheaper than other drugs.
Do you seriously have trouble with the concept of why mixing flour into coke is beneficial for the dealer's bottom line?
It's cheaper per dose, not per kg.
You only need micrograms to have a good time whereas with amphetamines it's decigrams.
And even if the motivation was in place, again, it'd be harder to pass of meth as lsd than it would be to pass milky chocolate as water.
I've done literally every single drug you can even imagine. You just clearly have no experience if you think anyone even slightly experienced could be fooled to take meth as lsd.
I'm not exaggerating with "it'd be harder to pass hot chocolate as water".
That's not adulteration, you donkey. That's the dealer ensuring noobs like you don't kill themselves while also increasing their profits. And if you put flour in your meth and sold it, you'd have less fingers in a week. What you use is much better and less noticeable substances. I know which ones, I've done it. It's about adding non-psychoactive, non-harmful substances, so your users don't notice nor get sick so they actually come back.
Although kids like you, when you cut shit, even if you didn't use flour but what we actually use, you'd cut it too much and get caught because you have no understanding of what you're on about.
