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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- 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.

That's a very low bar.
The best pizza I've had is still a far cry from say French dishes, or Cajun (which has French and Carribean roots), or something Jamaican.
If I never had pizza again, that would be fine with me.
Which French dishes?
The best I can think of are actually Italian, Swiss or English dishes co-opted by the French and the rest are extremely average, but French food culture is very good which a lot of people seem to confuse with the actual dishes being good
Valid point on Cajun and Jamaican though
Cajun. Pizza.
An office I used to work in had a cafeteria that hired professional chefs. On Fridays, they ran "experiments" on some stations, notably the pizza station. They came up with a bunch of really wacky pizzas; the poutine pizza and chicken & waffle pizza were some of my favorites they made. The Sloppy Joe pizza was the only time I've ever needed a fork and knife for pizza, but somehow wasn't awful.
They did a gumbo pizza one Friday, and it was very confusing. They served it on a big, NY-style slice and used pureed gumbo in place of tomato sauce. It tasted pretty good, but had neither the flavor or consistency of either pizza nor gumbo. Probably would have worked better without cheese, but there's potential in those flavor pairings, IMO.
Please, expand on Sloppy Joe
