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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying (lemmy.world)

You just described how it works! People get mixed up on calorie intake. I'm scrawny, but when I eat, I eat. No calories other than beer at night. Not a Coke, not a single pork rind, not even a Jolly Rancher. Nada.

So people see that and think, "Gosh! Wish I had a metabolism like his!" Nah. I just don't eat in between meals.

Yup pretty much. When I'm working and doing a lot I eat like a horse, but days I don't do much I don't eat much either. And I haven't gained weight in over 30 years despite people predicting otherwise. (Well, a little but mostly muscle mass.. I was 165 at 16 and in my 50's I'm 180 now with the same 31" waist.)
