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:
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.
oh no you fucking don't.
BATHING DOES NOT THERMALLY DENATURE THE PROTEINS IN YOUR MUSCULAR TISSUE AND FUCKING KILL YOU.
Furthermore there is no recipe for broth that involves SOAP nor do you bathe in LITERALLY BOILING WATER.
Boiling is NOT bathing and I will FIGHT anyone who tries to argue otherwise.
I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
FUCK IT, I WILL KILL ON THIS HILL
THIS HILL IS MADE OF THE DEAD MOTHERFUCKERS WHO WERE WRONG
Idk, Japanese onsen baths are really, really hot. Maybe not literally boiling, but I felt like it was. And hot baths for sore muscles wouldn't be a whole thing if it wasn’t producing some kind of tenderizing effect.
(I'm mostly saying this in jest. Mostly.)
You're correct, this is why you should avoid going to ramen shops near onsens. They use the people broth from the onsens in their ramen to add a mushroomy, cheesy, porky flavor.
mmm, umami
If you're adding mushroomy or cheesy flavor to the onsen then you're skipping an important step: scrubbing your filthy body thoroughly before getting in the tubs.
Pork flavor is normal because that's what we humans taste like. Do right by the ramen shops and clean yourself before adding your meats to the communal broth.
Best chicken broth is salty. Best baths are salty.
I've never killed a chicken by making soup out of it.
I will defend this hill with you, brother! You have my sword!
Goddamnit.
I haven't been able to eat eggs ever since someone explained they were chicken menstruation. And now, I have to contemplate avian necrobestial bathwater.
Fuck all you people, unsubbed.
resubbed... Damnit.
All those words are poetry.
all those words are poultry
You. I like you.
Eh, this won't stop me from making Jewish penicillin
Great. Now I'm hungry and pitching a tent.
Isn’t it technically a fertilized egg at that point? Otherwise, when in the process could the egg get fertilized
Hens producing eggs for consumption aren't exposed to roosters. Their eggs (typically) aren't fertilized.
You're eating chicken period, not aborted fetuses.
Oh. I wish you hadn’t told me that…
Either way, that’s always highly disconcerting.
Tell me about it. I haven't been able to eat breakfast food in years. Which kinda sucks, because my group hobby (hot air ballooning) is an early morning activity, and we usually finish up with breakfast.
Let he who doesn’t bathe with onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves, salt, and pepper cast the first stone.
I were to give a corpse a bath at what point does the water become broth?
About an hour after it starts boiling.
Excuse me, but you should really reduce that to a simmer after bringing it to a boil.
Doesn’t matter much, simmer and boil both have water at the same temp.
It does affect the texture and cook time.
If you're planning to eat the corpse, keep it low so it doesn't get chewy. If you're just making broth or doesn't really matter.
I agree. Low and slow, for sure.
Simmering is actually around 185F in most of the pot. There are some hot spots at the bottom of the pot that get hot enough to form water vapor, but at simmering temperatures, that vapor recondenses before breaking the surface.
"Boiling" starts around 205F. A rolling boil is around 210F.
What kinda altitude are we talking about here?
Sea level, but I'm describing the average temperature in the middle of the pot, not the temperature of the localized hot spots right above the burner.
At high altitude, the boiling and simmering points will be lower.
Warm corpse water
John Oliver once called chicken soup "salty bird water."
Only if the marrow from one's bones normally leaches out, and fat deposits between muscle fibers melt, in a bath, otherwise it's cooking
Depends on how hot your bath water is.
Assuming you remove your bones and skin for a good soak as part of your bathing process, sure.
why would you remove the bones and skin to make a broth? that's where all the flavor is
I want to carbonate chicken broth to make chicken soda.
Is that served cold or heated?
Chilled drinks hold on to carbonation much better. I would vote for cold, personally.
Arrested development - Hot Ham Water (Sorry YouTube link)
So watery!
And yet there’s a smack of ham to it!
You've apparently never had to give a chicken a bath for real.
It ain't something you'd eat or drink
I don't bath like you
More overcooked chicken soup.
