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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

OP confirmed for beaver with dental issues.
It might interest you to know that we do eat wood when we eat that sprinkled parmesan or romano cheese in the plastic containers: It contains wood to prevent the cheese from clumping (and it counts as fiber)
Thank God I can eat cheese to get my fill of wood for the day.
Mmm, anti caking agents...
I just call it laxative
If you consider cellulose to be wood, sure. They don't put actual wood in there.
What cellulose do they use then?
Cellulose can come from just about any type of plant. Cotton is almost entirely cellulose, for example.
I don't know what their cellulose comes from, but saying cellulose is trees is like saying milk is cheese.
All shredded cheeses, I believe.
Many shredded cheeses are mixed with corn and/or potato starches rather than cellulose (which is not wood either)
Thanks for the info!
