    I’m not opposed to being called burgerland, but I’m wondering why burgers and not hot dogs or apple pie. I think we should start referring to all countries by their national food.

      True, as burgers didn’t actually originate in the USA anyway. Are there any foods that are 100% USA creations?

        I’m not sure anyone has original food. Isn’t it all just the same stuff in regional flavors with available ingredients? We should just go by what’s popular, or perceived to be popular, which i guess does make us burgerland.

        Fried butter? (The fact that this is a real thing is worrisome)

            I can feel my arteries clogging just by reading the name.

      Only Americans thinks that apple pie is a specifically American food.

        Apple pie, hot dogs, and baseball… There is no American food. Maybe fry bread?

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
