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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Avacado toast would only break the bank if you buy your avocados for like $3 per fruit. I can go to local farmer markets outside the orchards where they grow them and buy 10 for just $1.
Even then, that's $1.5-$3 for a single meal, plus your cost of toast. Compared to people in cities everywhere getting $5-10 breakfast sandwiches and then $7 coffees, etc. Or just people spending $4/lb on cheap ground beef (that's the ALDI near me, 80/20) to make hamburger, hamburger helper, etc. Avocado toast isn't expensive by any metric.
