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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

And here i am, thinking that the opposite of icecream was Surströmming

Bonus: at one point in time, there was ice cream served with pepperoni Apparently

You caught some heat in the comments but this is completely true.

Why would you say something so brave, yet so controversial?

Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

... t-together?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Together? Pepperoni flavored ice cream? Ice cream flavored pepperoni? Where do you draw the line? 🤔

This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.

No it's not

They're both Italian, ice cream can be non-sweet, there must be bigger opposites!

Wouldn’t it be gelato vs pepperoni?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

You know, I ain't mad at that.

Don't agree, but I can dig the vibe.

Now, I would have said salad, personally, as the opposite of ice cream, or maybe barbecue.

No, you can have almonds for dessert.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

If you're Italian and therefore demonic then maybe (/s)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Key lime pie makes a great dessert after spicy Mexican food.

The culinary opposite of pepperoni is coconut milk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Coconut milk ice cream

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The culinary opposite of coconut milk is haggis.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

The culinary opposite of haggis is leafy greens

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't have any inherent disagreement, but I feel like I'm gonna need you to show your work. Can't you have beef pepperoni? that feels very close to milk, and only a step away from cream.

I'd say they're in a somewhat similar realm of consistency so no

Tangent: one if my roommates discovered a recipe for an avocado-based chocolate mouse. She hates it when I call it chocolate guacamole, guacolate, or chocomole.

I tried it, it's basically garlic flavored vanilla ice cream. I'm glad I tried it, would not seek it out again.

They’re both high in fat so no, it’s not.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not a question, but I challenge you to explain yourself.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You've either had too much pepperoni, or too little ice cream...

Either way, you owe us all an explanation. Or ice cream. I'll accept ice cream.
