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.

That's bold assumption for Lunchables.

In that case, the ingredients must be so cheap that the food coloring actually makes a significant price difference for them.

Who's adding food colouring to cheese ffs?

Every mass market manufacturer of yellow cheddar in America at least

Hmm, if they're making Cheddar in America it's not really Cheddar.

But American cheese manufacturers adding food colouring makes sense. I don't think there's a single other country in the world where I'd believe that.

"Let's make this already yellow cheese even more yellow by adding unnecessary food colouring. Let's make it out of plastic whilst we're here!"

Why is American food all processed to oblivion?
