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.

They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren't going to enjoy.

I read that while the martini was his signature drink, he actually is depicted drinking champagne more frequently in the films. So just drink champagne!

Avoid brut though if you want to enjoy it

As someone with thirty years at some of the top retailers in the wine business I will eternally disagree with this take. Most great champagnes are brut.

I prefer mine a bit sweeter. I also prefer a coupe so I guess my champagne tastes are just two hundred years old.

Your preference for the demisec is almost certainly related to your cup preference. I did a tasting if box wines 20 years ago. what we realized was the winner was always what was in the Bordeaux glass vs the burgundy because it concentrated the scents more.

The non-brut (I don't know the English term) is alcoholic soda, that's less enjoyable
