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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

An overcooked bread isn't well cooked. So a well cooked bread is necessarily not too cooked. And yet, asking for "well cooked" or "not too cooked" bread in a bakery have well distinct meanings... (sh.itjust.works)

I've never heard bread referred to as "cooked" in my entire life. Baked, yes.

You’re telling me you’ve been eating dough this whole time?

Next you'll tell me it's just flour yeast eggs milk and salt, has the whole world gone mad? 🍞 🤪

Most bakery bread doesn't even include eggs milk and salt

Bread is just flour, water, yeast and salt (you really need the salt). If it has anything else, you're either being sold something fancy or some industrial crap.

Baking is just one type of cooking.
