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.

Sidenote, if that's what zombies eat then maybe we can just keep giving them lard to snack on

You could just literally eat brain, some cultures absolutely still do that....

No one said it was a good idea, just that it could be done.

Is that like "Everyone mushroom is edible at least once?"

More like "If you want tacos de sesos that badly, you better trust the rancher."

Sheep prion disease doesn't affect humans

Beef prion disease came from feeding beef beef waste including beef brain. It isn't much of a risk

Human prion disease happens in populations where people eat people's brains

French still eat sheep brain. Almost pure cholesterol.
