Shower oranges are surprisingly kick-ass. Had a few but gave it up after the novelty wore off and I was just wasting water to have a somewhat more exciting, cumbersome, and probably unsanitary orange.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That sounds good, especially if cold. And you can eat it like an animal and just let the juice go all over your body.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Orange juice for the orange juice god! Orange peels for the ~~compost pile~~ orange peel throne!

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You leave the peels at the bottom of your shower until you finish showering so that it smells nice and orangey for the whole time.

Ribs in the shower is a definite timesaver.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Now ribs I can see! They aren't in danger of getting soggy, and you could string them on a cord and hang them around your neck like a merger of caveman fashion and an adult version of the candy necklace.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 10 points 6 days ago

That would save on so many napkins!

Beer, wine, or mead in a shower is a good time. This is just… not heresy, but something close.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

You like a shower beer...now just imagine adding a reuben. How is it not even better? Do you just not like reubens?

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Your shower must be more spacious than mine because I have a hard time imagining keeping it dry. My shower also lacks a sandwich shelf like yours.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Where the hell do you put your beer?

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's definitely easier to find a random spot to stick a can than it is a full sandwich lol. I can shove a beer (or hard seltzer these days) in with my shampoos if I need to but a whole sandwich ain't fitting in there

Are you sure you're in the shower? ... or at a rowdy German Octoberfest and covered in urine?

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If someone sends me a picture like this, they're getting a "wellness check".

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I mean we all get perverted thoughts, like, “Oh hell yeah, shower burrito” but we need that self control or else the drain is clogged with cheese.

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 7 points 6 days ago

That's an unfortunate waste of cheese

Learn to eat a burrito cleanly, the cheese should not end up in the drain. Skill issue.

[–] Logos_Void@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The hygiene in this is non-existent.

Cotton candy has to be the worst shower snack.

The best is definitely beer.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Cotton candy in a bath is just a fancy bath bomb though.

Kramer shower salad.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Why is nobody concerned about the pickle?
Is it a pickle??

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's a dried up and nasty sponge

Duh. Soup, obv. It's already wet.

Since we're apparently doing shower-food horrors, I'm just going to propose Ortolan.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 16 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Ortolan is a small songbird that is found in Europe. It is a protected species in many countries due to declining numbers. However, in France, there was a long tradition of capturing, force-feeding and drowning ortolans in Armagnac to produce a dish considered the height of gourmandise.

The fuck is wrong with the French

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And it's done traditionally to wear a towel over your head as you eat the entire bird, bones at and all, in one bite...

...to hide from God, who knows what you did.

I'm not joking.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 6 days ago

They used a napkin, not an actual towel. The French word for napkin is serviette, which is also the word for towel.

And there’s already a towel in the shower!

There are no dry corners in my shower. The shower head rules all. Only beer is allowed.

If you're not having Ovaltine made of your own shower water, are you even drinking your Ovaltine?

Shower beer is hard to beat

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago (4 children)

We had a large system outage in the 90's and they flew in technicians to rebuilt the whole system.

One of the guy, somehow some way managed to wedge in a shower beer into conversation.

A shower beer?

"A shower beer... it's the best thing ever, really hot water, really cold beer"

I tried it, honestly didn't get it.

The shower ruben has me way more interested. But I think the steam in the air would ruin some of the aromatic notes.

Also, I can't find good corned beef anywhere near here.

Coffee and a cigarette, usually.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

When I eat Reubens I get gassy and no one wants to be around me. This is perfect for my sauerkraut goblin farts

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 4 points 6 days ago

Icy pops. Known by many different names regionally, it's those plastic tubes with frozen sugar water in them

Hot water on skin + sweet frozen water in mouth = mmmmmmm

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I've got a stack of mail and a tall can

It's a shower beer, it's a payment plan

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Is that a sweet potato on the bottom shelf?
