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.

Chicken wings are only food on medium difficulty. Whole crabs take more energy to open than you gain from meat.

Trick is spear the meat and pull it out, instead of trying to open the leg.

For king crab, yes. For snow crab, you can open the leg with the right technique. Snap it in the middle and you can remove one half of the shell then pull the meat out of the other half.

Yeah but chicken wings are medium effort for like 6/10 food while crab is high for 10/10 food

I don't intentionally eat bugs so that's a non issue for me.

No bugs? I enjoy most of the sea bugs (with butter). Also eaten crickets, meal worms, and ant eggs/larvae.

I'm cool with someone else enjoying it, it's just not for me. 🤷
