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-----

I wonder how many fires have been started because people left the pizza box in the oven while trying to keep it warm (leminal.space)

I've seen a few people put their delivered pizza in the oven after everyone grabs a piece to keep it warm. I've also seen a lot of those people forget the pizza is in there and either have to throw it out or only noticed after they preheated their oven.

Well, sir/ma'am:

  • my father once put a pizza box into the oven then turned the oven on to keep it warm, intending to turn it off quickly but forgot. Fire ensued
  • I was 18 in a terrible apartment and needed to run over to my buddies place to borrow something. I had stock on the stove but figured it had to reduce and I could go and be back quickly. We had one of those sandwiches that they have on How I Met Your Mother and I forgot all about the stock. The guy across the hall and I had swapped spare keys. He saw smoke pouring out of my kitchen window and let himself in and threw the pot in the sink and turned the water on. Crisis averted other than me thinking about it and being filled with shame every time I put a pot on a stove.

Weed and cooking is very dangerous. Don't mix pots and pot
