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

I mean, it's probably less likely to happen, but it is a prison disease, which means it can kind of just suddenly happen if a protein folds the wrong way (if I'm not misreading the internet wrong about it)

Though it seems like you're relatively safe if you stay away from brain tissue, so I guess you're probably fine.

Still, I'll just ask you what it tastes like before I'd try it myself haha
