Next time I'm at a restaurant I'm totally ordering Mexican beans on toast to get the tables reaction.

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
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.

Sparkling beans on toast.
Conveniently, this post was in my feed just a page or two later. You got a bug up your derriere, Nougat?
Sometimes the treasure map has two X's on it.
no
bread is flour with yeast and water leavened via fermentation then baked.
chips are corn masa or wheat flour made into a dough with water with no yeast and not fermented then fried and salted.
why do people think that leaving out facts between things makes them the same thing ?
If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.
But tortillas are considered an unleavened bread, bread in the most general term is just flour and water.
DOES YOUR GRANDMOTHER HAVE WHEELS???
HELL YEAH BROTHER, CRANK THAT GRANDMOTHER! AROOO
Every time Grandma comes over, the intro drum riff from Hot For Teacher plays.
I'm not legally obligated to answer that question.
Morally though, you should
Isn't beans on toast just a taco?
Not according to the cube rule
Two gripes about on the cube rule; It doesn't readily differentiate between topology of a dish and a single serving. It could very well add more dimensions to the identification model besides topology, there are plenty of other factors that define the portability and experience of eating a food (let's face it, that's what the debate of identification was really about this whole time.)
Tostada perhaps
That's like saying tea is just hot leaf water.
we all cook our hot leaf water in the microwave like everyone else
Tea is soup.
I'm not angry with you, but I am afraid that you've lost your way.
Whey is juice.
Ain't no whey
That makes as much sense as anything.
Well, I'm out of AtlA references. For now.
Tea is broth. You remove the solids.
Matcha might count as soup, though.
Are Boba dumplings?
Ooh, valid question! I think I have to say yes, because traditional dumplings weren't filled the way most are today, they were just a boiled or fried starch. Tapioca starch is mixed with boiling water to create boba, so, if you have a boba tea, that becomes soup again because you have added dumplings to your broth.
Isn’t rye bread basically whisky?
Old, wet barley bread is Scotch.
There is some great scotch coming out of Japan these days
Whiskey, not Scotch, but yes, there are some really good ones.
If you like your toast to be made of corn and unleavened, sure.
And fried instead of baked
Corn makes bread, and there are flour tortillas.
So is cheese flavoured popcorn a grilled cheese sandwich to you? The ingredients alone don't make a dish, the method of preparation matters as well.
Now that you mention it ...
