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.

Dropping some truth bombs out here. I'll tell ya, people love grinding shit up.
Both taste good on burgers but not together
Yes but also no.
Or, as the Germans call it, "jein".
Of course there's a specific German word for this. Thanks for the fun fact.
It's just a joke word combining "ja" and "nein". It's like English' "yesn't".
Na
One I snack on with unsalted tortilla chips, the other I do not. But now I have to try it.
Unsalted? Demon!!!
Also maybe sugar and cinnamon on tortilla chips with peanut butter and a chocolate drizzle would be good. Just toast the chips to heat them and toss in some brown sugar and cinnamon.
I always thought jelly on corn chips would be good, but maybe that's nacho jam.
Confucius say "man stuck in pantry has ass in jam"
I was going to make a joke about a hummus and jelly sandwich, but now that I think about it, that might be pretty good.
Thinking about a tart cherry jam with hummus on a pita.
I just made spicy peanut butter for some ramen yesterday on a whim, it was very good.
congratulations, you have achieved peace in the middle east, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IOF are organizing a joint operation to stop you.
But what about the Tahini?
Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes.
Tahini is made from sesame seeds. So, I’d say not as closely related.
Tahini is a vital ingredient in hummus.
forgetting that there's tahini in there is like thinking mayo is just raw blended eggs
That seems like the exact point they were making.
No, LordMayor did not seem to understand why Tahini was being mentioned.
So almond butter isn't in the same category as peanut butter?
Did you smell burnt toast..?
D=s
I've used peanut butter in place of tahini to make humm-ish before. Not bad at all.
Roasted sunflower seeds also work great
Yeah, I use unsweetened peanut butter (effectively just mushed peanuts) in lots of recipes where tahini would normally be used.
I still need to figure out, if I'm using tahini wrong. 😅
Sesame always tastes bitter to me, as does tahini. Peanut butter doesn't...
What do you mean by "unsweetened peanutbutter"? There's sweetened peanutbutter? Is that some kraft foods shit?
Just check the ingredient list on the packaging, if they have it. At least here in the Netherlands, "normal" peanut butter contains more palm fat than peanut and it contains quite some sugar as well. I can taste the sugar and dislike it, but then I grew up with "100%" peanut butter, containing only peanuts and nothing else, so I may be used to something weird compared to my countrymen.
From what I've gathered, peanut butter in the USA contains a lot of sugar, too.
Well, whenever I've talked about this in the past, there was always someone who asked "You put (sweet) peanut butter into your savory food?!".
Wikipedia also says that it commonly contains sweeteners: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter
But yeah, not sure if that's maybe specifically a thing in the US. They do love to put sugar into everything and I just came across this article, which mentions that when PB&Js became popular in the US, sugar was still seen as good: https://www.thetakeout.com/why-americans-love-peanut-butter-best-vs-rest-of-world-1850648598/
Yes bad at all.
Got a falafel with peanut butter based hummus once. left the restaurant after the first bite, more disapointing than the GOT finale
Hummus is just chickpea butter.
Bad hummus is. Good hummus will have other ingredients like garlic and lemon.
Peanut butter is the opposite. Good peanut butter is just ground peanuts. Bad peanut butter includes a bunch of random garbage like sugar and palm oil. You know peanut butter is good if it has oil on top at the store.
People who downvoted this: Was it the opinion on hummus or on peanut butter that you disagreed with? I must know!
Maybe because they forgot the tahini
And mayo is just raw eggs
