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

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

An overcooked bread isn't well cooked. So a well cooked bread is necessarily not too cooked. And yet, asking for "well cooked" or "not too cooked" bread in a bakery have well distinct meanings... (self.showerthoughts)

Even for a given kind of bread of the same recipe from the same bakery, there'll be variations on how baked it is depending on how long it was in the oven or even within a given batch depending on it's position in the oven. And some people have their preferences in that regard. Several times I've hear people in bakeries (in France) asking for a baguette "bien cuite" ("well cooked/baked") or "pas trop cuite" ("not too cooked/baked"). I guess my mistake was assuming this happened in bakeries of every countries...
