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.

If all hard boiled eggs where as hard to peel as the hardest egg you've peeled, we'd probably stop eating hard boiled eggs.

But hard boiled eggs are not hard to peel? Just run them under cold water for a few seconds after boiling

Age matters too. Older eggs are easier to peel.

Serms to be the only reason. Have tried tons of different ways, like vinegar in the water etc etc

If the egg is hard to peel, you can slide in a coffee spoon between the egg and the shell (make an attempt to peel it first ofc) and then just slide the spoon around and voilà! Egg peeled.

Also put a teaspoon of vinegar into the water you boil them in.
