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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"Muffins" would be English muffins. For the other kind, we would specify flavour if we're asking someone to buy it for us. So I might say "Can you get muffins and also chocolate muffins please?"
I feel as though bringing you a bran muffin and a chocolate muffin would fulfill that and you would be out your "muffin" muffin. You guys should start calling them separate things.
Maybe in America, but if you brought me a bran muffin when I asked for a muffin, you'd be in the wrong here. That's just how it is shrugs
