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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Tell me you don't know how to cook without telling me you don't know how to cook.

Pre-heating is useful.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

Do you prefer your food to taste good or not?

But reading the T&C is useless.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

No, most people pre-heat their ovens.

I pre heat, but usually don't read all the t & c ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Confidentially incorrect. (Before someone wants to correct me, it's intentional.)

Everyone pre-heats their oven! ...Don't they?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

You... You don't preheat your oven?

How are these things related?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Reading terms and conditions is much more time consuming than preheating.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I pre-heat and I read tos;dr for laughs and giggles of what they're trying to force me to agree to.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Do you not preheat your oven..?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It really depends in both cases.

Hearing a frozen pizza? Maybe I won't wait for it to pre heat fully. Something I made to bake from scratch, following a recipe? Yeah I will wait for the oven to pre heat.

Same with terms and conditions. In many cases I won't read them, but some deserve a skim or a serious read.

I take the easy way out https://tosdr.org (no oven btw).

You can't read stuff with a beer in one hand and the grill tongs in the other.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nope,

I preheat the oven consistently but don't consistently read terms and conditions or license agreements.
