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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In New Orleans there is an eggnog daiquiri around this time and it’s fucking FANTASTIC.

There's an ice cream parlor near me that makes a fantastic egg nog ice cream in house. Love this season.

It's usually only stocked in stores around the holidays and I am too lazy to make it on a whim.

So, because of that, yes. It is only a holiday drink for me. It's unfortunate, because I love the stuff. (Even when I drank, I didn't care for it with alcohol.)

I don't know if anyone really was putting on airs when it came to the classification of egg nog

...with alcohol if you're lucky.

I would rather have them separately, to be honest.
