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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Henceforth, when walking on a frozen lake or river, one must declare that the floor is lava!
And thus when you sip on that ice tea in your hand, you are actually drinking liquid gold

Metal is also elastic.
But that doesn't mean metal is plastic or elastic in terms of material type, just the English sucks.
Yeah words have special meanings in special regimes. There are a lot of regimes these days, with so much known about so many specialities. We could spend all day noting use of words that make sense within a particular science or engineering field but would be funny in casual conversation .
In some places, spaghetti meat sauce is gravy. Badabing!
ahgabagool!
It's the best version of plastic.
Ices are metals.
Shrimps is bugs
Perhaps you meant to say that ices are crystals?
No. In astronomy, everything heavier than hydrogen or helium is referred to as metals. So, a star's metallicity would be including carbon, oxygen etc.
In my country we refer to gravel roads as metalled roads, for no reason I can explain.

"It's called blue metal since it has a blue colour."
That explains the blue, but not the metal...
You're getting roasted but I understand your esoterica.
