Showerthoughts

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 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.
congratulations, you have achieved peace in the middle east, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IOF are organizing a joint operation to stop you.
I just made spicy peanut butter for some ramen yesterday on a whim, it was very good.
On that note, sriracha sauce on ice cream is pretty good. Add some salt for more enhancement.
I haven't gone too crazy with it, but dropping my ideas of what foods do and don't go in main courses or desserts has improved both of them for me. Sausage and savory chocolate sauce is great, and apples are a lot like potatoes when cooked in a savory dish, while doing the same sweet/sour/salty/umami balancing for desserts makes them better (note that that doesn't mean to make them all equal, dessert will still be sweet overall, just if you add representation for all the flavour groups other than bitter, it'll usually enhance the taste).
