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.

Gonna have to disagree with ya there, bud.
Given how obese americans are, I'm kind of surprised you've never seen anyone do it. In my 20s, I could crush an XL and ask for seconds. I still eat a large by myself and I'm not an especially big person.
My hunger response is all messed up; exceedingly slow to satiation, hungry almost immediately after. I'm basically always hungry even sometimes getting hunger pangs that are physically painful and come with nausea; not eating for even around like 12-16 hours would sometimes cause me to gag and to feel like I needed to throw up. Changing some dietary things has helped, but I'm still almost always hungry and never stay full long.
Even as little as a year ago, I could put away a large pizza, some ice cream, a meal from McD's, and more in one day and still be hungry. I probably still could if not for ending up needing to cut gluten (one of the things that seems to have helped). By BMI I'm right on the border between overweight and obese and dropping (I will probably be just 'overweight' in mid-Feb 2025 or so).
Says food is not satiating, always hungry -> proceeds to say they could keep eating unhealthy processed foods designed to make you crave more..
You clearly missed the point above where I wrote "ending up needing to cut gluten" which kinda precludes eating most of the things on that list.
These days, except for once a week, I am eating: oatmeal, brown rice (regionally-sourced), some meat (chicken, fish, or pork in order of frequency) I've cooked, some veg (much of which I grow myself) I've cooked, and some sauce I've (at least mostly -- I'm not brewing my own soy sauce) made, and often a bit of cheese. Dessert, when I have it, is a handful of chocolate chips. I am still almost always hungry. Once a week, I eat sushi or something similar and have an ice cream.
Edit: I also feel compelled to note I would only let myself eat like that (the Pizza, burgers, etc.) once every week or two, lest someone think that was my daily life.
It's agonizing being hungry constantly. I know I don't need to eat. But my body is screaming at me it wants to eat and it's infuriating.
Food is the only physical addiction that you can't quit for life or it will kill you. You don't need beer or cocaine or meth to live, you can live a full happy life without any of those. You can't live without food.
If I could quit it cold turkey I would.
But I can't, and it sucks
We are also fighting decades of food science working non stop to make the cheapest shittiest food possible.
It's even more disturbing if you consider that for some people, this doesn't necessarily apply to oral insertion
I can eat multiple loaves of bread and multiple tens of oranges in the same time i can eat a large pizza
I dont think the pizza is the best benchmark for human eating
If you compressed a 14” pizza into a ball it would probably be about the size of your head, so you should not eat one.
I wasn't the most popular growing up and I remember becoming popular and developing a larger friends group in late high school. Above all, I remember going out for pizza when I was 17. At home, we always shared a small (frozen or delivery or restaurant) pizza - me, my sister, and my mom. Eating pizza meant having a slice or two for dinner (with salad, there was always salad). So this also always meant prior discussions on the toppings. Therefore, going out with new friends, I was highly confused why no one was really engaging in my question about what kind of toppings they want, everyone was just stating what they want and gonna get and I was hella confused. When it occurred to me that everyone was going to order a whole pizza for themselves I couldn't believe it. I don't remember what happened next, I only remember the horrible realization that everyone is going to buy a pizza and eat this food, that to me was absolutely meant to be shared, by themselves like psychopaths, a whole family meal, for each person. And that this was the normal way to do it. As I said, I don't know what happened next, but I don't really like pizza to this day - maybe something happened that day, I don't know.
Thank God I found a spouse who likes to share a small pizza and can't have more than 2-3 slices tops either.
I don't know if what your friends did was normal. Normal for them maybe. Every group of people I've shared pizza with its always been a discussion and been shared. Larger pizzas are cheaper by area, so it's best to get a few of the largest size and split them instead of everyone getting a small to themselves.
Some restaurants just sell individual pies now. I usually get a few meals out of one.
Any pizza is a personal pizza with enough determination
Amazement and terror increases depending on which hole they use.

I used to be able to eat like 1-2 14-inch pizzas.
Now I can barely at half a pizza.
Dominos used to have a large pizza for $5 and a bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill was 1.99
