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.

Really you can scramble them into anything at the sub-atomic level.

cottage potatoes/fried taters

fry sausage in a pan. and remove, keeping the grease.

toss in 2-3 large potatoes, sliced into 1/8"-1/16" thick rounds.

salt and pepper then stir to separate slices and to evenly coat with sausage grease.

cook until slices soften and brown, flipping occasionally to ensure more crispy bits.

using a lid will help cook them faster.

crack two eggs into a mug and scramble, then pour over the potatoes. stir and coat all slices with egg.

serve once the egg is done.


best damn comfort food I have ever had. sausage can be replaced with bacon. just take care with the salt.

its can be made with a regular pan, but it's even better in cast iron.

I usually eat mine with a light drizzle of ketchup or hot sauce for a bit of tang/kick.
