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.

I'm guessing you mean the sulfur smell, that's never wanted.
Unless you're specifically looking for sulfur pools in which case it means you're near :)
Happy cake day!
I don't eat eggs so I add kala namak to scrambles to get some sulfur smell in
I had bad(spoild) eggsalad sandwich ,as a kid, once...... once.
Can't go near them since.
Oh that's grim :(
I've definitely been put off coleslaw after a spoiled portion at a Topgolf place gave me food poisoning
Not so pleasant a few hours later tho', amirite?
Cheese too. If the smell is on its own, its like dirty socks, but if it's a dairy product it goes for $8lb.
eating a what?
One of these
In the UK at least, the filling is called egg mayonnaise. In the US/Canada it seems to be called egg salad
Tbf there being lettuce in there is somewhat unconventional in the UK
If there's any greenery it's often cress
Though that's now an egg & cress rather than an egg mayo
That's a good point actually... whenever you see them in any UK supermarket it tends to just be egg mayo by itself (and always on brown bread for some reason). Or egg & cress like you say.
OR you might see an all day breakfast sandwich with egg mayo, sausage and bacon.
Egg salad makes me want to hurl. More for you lot though. Lol
I prefer a smoked roe spread in my egg sandwiches. Gives them a tasty saltyness that matches very well with the eggs. Not sure what mayonnaise would add flavour wise. Wouldn't it be mostly egg with egg?
