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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

But this can be generalised to if anything was as hard as the hardest time we did it we would do it less. No need to single eggs out, they are just eggs, just innocent eggs.
Additionally, it's not true at all. Like, when I was a junior dev, everything was new and hard. Now I do stuff much harder than was the hardest I did back then.
Because we can't invent Tools either? You do know we eat coconuts and they are significantly harder to open.
I don’t like hard boiled eggs. I prefer medium-soft (slightly runny on up to jelly-like yolk; used to make ajitsuke tamago) which are harder to peel than hard boiled eggs due to softer whites.
When I boil eggs I poke a hole in the bottom (blunt end) before boiling and then after chilling in cold water I crack the blunt end to begin peeling. Since the blunt end has an air pocket this technique makes it easy to begin peeling.
Good to know, but there was no removing my frustration at the moment of the half dozen I made.
Oh yeah. I only boil 2 eggs at a time now.
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.
And if they didn't smell like someone just ripped ass, I'd probably start eating them
You could also learn to properly cook them.
It was a bad day for America when schools stopped teaching home ec. We once had a friend live with us for a couple months who cooked eggs in a Saucier (sauce pan) full of oil. She kept the pan on the stove and every morning she would reheat the oil and essentially poach 2 eggs in a half a gallon of oil.
Sure dude, however you want to justify your sulfuric breath
No, clearly you are wrong for not liking chicken period that came out of their cloaca
This, but unironically.
I suggest you try soft or medium eggs.
Boiled eggs are the worst eggs anyway
This is profound
