Showerthoughts

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.

    Actually it's used in everything, it's available, it's well studied, it's cheap, and most importantly it grows fast in a lab, so it's easy to work with.... I wish I was joking, but lots of in vitro human research is done on the poor women's cancer cells when the research has nothing to do with cancer, it's quite the confounder
  • The problem with overeating is that it feels really good

    Keto is able to help by filling your diet with things that keep you feeling full (protein and fat) and giving you some straightforward rules that keep you eating those things, which makes you not hungry as often and forces you to have some discipline around eating. I would also add that keto also removes glucose spikes->insulin spikes->glucose dips, removes lots of the low energy hangry loops that most people are stuck in. You can still get cravings and noise on a keto diet though if your nutrition is off. Sure, that would just be biologically appropriate hunger, since the nutrition is off and the body wants more nutrition. I’ve actually done keto before, the strict rules were helpful discipline-wise, but I was able to get all of the same benefits without actually being in ketosis Fantastic! By trying to keep myself eating foods that keep me full, by avoiding binging and keeping my habits in check, and by getting rid of refined carbs (pasta and sugar are the worst, it’s like you didn’t even eat anything) I’ve been able to keep my diet in check pretty well. Did keto not keep you feeling full? Also be careful about saturated fats long-term. It can be bad for your heart if they make up too much of your diet. Thanks for bringing that up. My reading of the literature has satisfied me that in the absence of elevated glucose and metabolic disease saturated fats are actually quite healthy and not a long term health risk (at least for myself).

    Only if you diversify the risk schemes so that in the worst case scenario they could have a nice shrubbery

    I eyeball it. A few times I was surprised and had to double check the video and found a few segments sponsorblock had skipped.
