I buy a box of pita chips and a tub of hummus.

Either I finish the chips and still have hummus, or finish the hummus and still have chips.

Why are they not a perfect ratio so that the last chip gets the last bit of hummus? 😩

That's me with whiskey and ginger ale.

If you got left-over humus, but it into your flower pots.

If hamburger was not eaten then its not hamburger?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Well technically hamburgers were never actually hamburgers, it's an abbreviation for hamburg steaks.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 6 points 4 weeks ago

Well technically that is not an abbreviation. That is a portmanteau.

No, silly, between ham and burger.

Lmao, no, Hamburg is a place. Check the etymology of hamburger yourself to see.

If being wrong were a passable joke then Trump would be killing it.

Technically, its only a hamburger if it comes from the hamburg region of Germany. Anywherr else, it is sparkling beef.

Showerthoughts

36023 readers

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.
