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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Warm sprite and water are the same effervescence.

I know a guy that likes his beer how he likes his coffee: hot. He buys a case of Hamm's and tosses it in his truck for when he gets off work. He's a construction worker so he's mostly working while it's 90°F (30°C) out.

I hope he doesn't drink and drive. I assume he is responsible but you never know. You should not drink a beer and then immediately drive.

The metal cutlery in the drawer and the drawer itself are the same temperature.

What is the correct temperature for an Irish coffee?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Depends whether it's your first or your 21st.

But if iced coffee tastes great, what about hot beer? We do have hot wine (mulled wine).

Welcome to German Christmas markets, where you can buy and (without irony) enjoy hot, spiced beer. And wine. And several other beverages.

Okay that’s amazing. I need to visit at Christmas time! My family is German but I’ve never been to Germany!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Just make sure you go to a nice one (I'm not of any help, I'm not the Christmas market type of person), some are really touristy/fake.

Maybe warm grog

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Some beers are supposed to be drank warm but idk about any hot ones

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

In the Wind in the Willows they mention mulled ale, so it is a thing or at least it was in 1908.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

You know… they are. I had never thought of it, but damnit you're right.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was confused for a moment because I was thinking of a chilled coffee and not a hot coffee that has gone cold.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I thought about that too, but I thought "coffee that's gone cold" would make the title too clunky.

So is warm ice cream and cold soup.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Icecream soup ftw!
