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-----

Just realize: They call coffee, but unless I order black coffee, anything else feel like milkshake.

And those milkshake are so much sugar with flavor, that make me addict to like tobacco.

I better quit starbuck and save some cash.

I ... uhh ... (what did they say?) Yeah, quitting Starbucks sounds like a good idea!

It’s funny comparing tobacco to an actual addictive stimulant, coffee, and decided sugar is the problem. I say as I drink my black coffee in the morning.

Whatever it takes to get you away from Starbucks seems like a win though.

Sugar is an extremely addictive substance.

Granted, caffeine is as well, but sugar is more commonplace.

It activates the same areas of your brain as cocaine.

I'm assuming you're a battlestar fan?

Haha, yeah. I guess that’s ironic that I’m taking a stance against Starbucks with a username like this.

It's boycotting Starbucks. You're allowed to have one
