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

Not to scare you but it happens every year, constantly. There is always another new disease or an new mutation to an older disease that is attacking crops.

It's only by constant research, phytosanitary processes and breeding efforts that our food supply is as secure as it is.

And then there are bananas. No genetic variation. Just clones of clones of clones. 1 disease away from being totally wiped out.
