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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The same with, as we call them here, regular muffins.
What do you call muffins then??
Also muffins. Easy enough to figure out from context which we mean
Pretend you want both, what sentence would you tell someone going to shop for you to express that?
"Muffins" would be English muffins. For the other kind, we would specify flavour if we're asking someone to buy it for us. So I might say "Can you get muffins and also chocolate muffins please?"
I feel as though bringing you a bran muffin and a chocolate muffin would fulfill that and you would be out your "muffin" muffin. You guys should start calling them separate things.
Maybe in America, but if you brought me a bran muffin when I asked for a muffin, you'd be in the wrong here. That's just how it is shrugs
"go get me a breakfast muffin, bitch"
