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:
- 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.

Y'know, if it had ham in it, it's closer to a British carbonara
Behold. A toast
Yum. Raw salmon toast! 😋
Sure as shit ain't sushi
So clearly Lasagna is a fruit cake.
And there you go! Lasagna is now officially a tomato cake.
Pizza is a fruit pie
I thought about that too but I think the Mozz disqualifies it sadly.
So is cheese cake not a cake?
And cheese danishes not pastries?
Pizza is a fruit pie.
Lasagna is a fruit cake.
Water is lava.
Cats are living with dogs.
Mass hysteria is already here.
Good luck with your Mozzarella Cheesecake, pal.
Don't tempt me with a good time homie! Now excuse my while I eat my Mac and cheddar cereal.
I would be interested in a mozzarella cheesecake. Like a soufflé but less egg?
There are some people in the Midwest who like to put a slice of cheddar on top of their pie.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a shower thought. Nice one!
Plot twist: tomato is a berry. 😱
Spoiler
But only botanically speaking. In a culinary context, words have no logically consistent meanings. Anything goes.
Lasagna is tomato cake
Keep on going. Eventually you’ll prove that lasagna is a sandwich.
Is there such thing as a sandwich cake?
After a quick googling, I'm going with sponge cakes are a sandwich.
Not only is that deeply cursed, it also exists.
It's a pretty common food all around the nordics, yeah. It's usually made for all sorts of celebrations from birthdays to funerals. People describe these things as delicious, so even if you think it's a cursed concept, you should probably give it a taste it if you ever can. And that cream-thing is not mayo, it's usually sourcream or some mix of it
Only if you put it on top of a pizza and below an upside-down pizza.
You know... Lasagna is sauce, cheese and vegetables or meat on a dough base.
Lasagna is a pizza.
Getting closer. What if you think of pasta as type of unleavened bread. It’s made of wheat flour after all.

Babe, what's wrong? You've barely touched your fruit salad?
Fruit pie
Yeah crust on top. Its a pie.
wait, you finish your lasagna with just plain pasta? You don't cover it with more sauce and cheese?
Egg wash it. Crispy top
Edit: and cheese and a spritz of oil but certainly not more sauce on top. Way to wet
Hot take, but lasagna noodles should never be crispy

Wouldn’t it be a trifle rather than a tart?
Waiting on the new lasagna-flavored Pop-Tarts to appear any day now...
if your lasagna is tart you better toss it
- Lasagna is the shape of the noodle.
- There are varieties without tomato i.e. Lasagna bianca.
Also properly made lasagna with ragu alla bolognese contains very little tomato. It is a meat ragu, not a tomato sugo.
