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

When I was 8 years old, my sister ordered an XL pizza from papa johns. And I said "Ok......but what are YOU having?" She laughed it off as me saying I'd eat the whole thing myself. I saw no joke. So I made her order a second pizza for herself. She got a small. And when I was done with my pizza, I ate half of her pizza. She then accused me of playing some prank on her. She searched her apartment up and down claiming I was hiding the pizza somewhere. I was like "YOU WATCHED ME EAT MOST OF IT!!!"

My stomach did not have an "off" button. At least not until decades later when they removed 2/3rds of my colon. Now I can eat something small to medium sized and feel like I'm full.

But back then? I honestly think if you'd have put 10 XL pizzas in front of me, I'd have eaten them all if I liked the toppings. Then asked for snacks later.

I think the true horror isn't that you at an entire XL pizza, but that you ate an entire XL Papa Johns pizza. No one should do that to themselves.

Well, this was back in the 90s. Back when they were still good.
