Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I do that every time I eat pizza. One extra large... with sides!

I'm feeling very attacked right now.

Is it though?

Unless you're talking party pizza, it's pretty much designed to be eaten by a single person.

A large pizza is not meant to be eaten by one person lmfao

I'd call it cowmaxxing if it actually led to me putting on any weight 🤷‍♀️

When I was in junior high, a local pizza/burger/Chinese (if it was food, chances are they made it) place had a Safe Cracker pinball machine that would give you a token every 1 million points which you could redeem for a large, one topping pizza.

I would very often go there with no more than a dollar and end up getting 2 free pizzas and eat them all to myself because I was really good at that pinball machine and also had a bottomless pit in my stomach.

These days, I think less about the pizza and more about how I would love to have a Safe Cracker pinball table.

It would cost a few thousand dollars but if you can find a cheap empty pinball case, it looks like you could build one yourself. Most of the parts seem to be available on eBay.

How many inches constitutes a "large" nowadays?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In the U.S., the convention set by the national chains are small (10"), medium (12"), and large (14"), with some having extra large (16") as an option. Most local places will follow that convention as well.

The amount I consume usually comes down to the crust. If you give me a 16" thin crust pizza it would be gone. But a 14" normal crust, I'd likely eat half of one and try not to eat more.

Key word was try.

Watch "Beard meets Food" on YT and learn.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I usually watch Raina Huang or Katina Eats Kilos. But BMF is really impressive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I usually do it over the course of 3 days

I don't know what this means and I am to afraid to ask
