It's easier to eat salad with chopsticks than with a fork.

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.

It's perfectly fine to have a fork and a knife and a spoon and chopsticks with us while we're eating, and use whichever instrument is best for any given challenge in front of us. Because I have been struggling a lot with a fork and my salads, not everything is stab-able, only the center crunchy part of lettuce is stab-able and the rest of it is not stab-able unless the fork tines are as sharp as needles, but they're not, the tines on the end of a fork are pretty dull and they are not stabbing into this lettuce. And when I try to scoop it up it just falls off the fork. Don't even get me started on garbanzo beans, chasing those around the plate drives me crazy! And stabbing them makes them fall apart. I am struggling and I'm going to bring chopsticks with me from now on.
