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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  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

Can you imagine how good Smurfs must taste when Gargamel can't decide whether to eat them or turn them into gold? (lemmy.world)

So this is a bit of a personal peeve of mine, so please don’t take it as an attack or argumentative, I’m just offering a perspective.

Generally speaking, gamey is a misnomer. Unless, if by gamey you mean “doesn’t taste like domesticated beef”, in which case you’re right on, but gamey itself isn’t a flavor.

Every meat has its own distinct flavor and calling something gamey just indicates that it’s not culturally normal for you.

I'd say what I think of as 'gamey' applies pretty equally to elk, deer, rabbit and squirrel (at various strengths), all of which I have eaten more than once. So I'm not sure that's true.
