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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Some people deliberately store things - like towels or place mats - in the oven.
Usually older people.
Someone not aware of that goes to bake something - big problem
My cousin kept bags of chips and pretzels in the oven, and got really mad at me for preheating the oven without checking it. It was 20 years ago and we still fight over who's fault that was.
My grandparents used to store cereal in the oven. As a kid I never understood, but it was just something weird cpsince I never cooked. Now I’m horrified that anyone would do that but suspect they bought it just for our visit and had nowhere to put the huge quantities of food they’d need.
Picture the groceries for a nice, quiet elderly couple. Now picture the groceries for a family with four boys eating everything in sight …. Yeah, our visits must have been the apocalypse for their budget, based on groceries alone
Preheated the Oven at 280°C Grandma! Everything will soon be as they should be!
