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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

The pawpaw can come pretty close to that.

Pawpaws are way more tropically flavored than apples in my experience. Closer to pineapple

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That is true, but I have had a couple that were apple-y.

I think of them as tasting like banana-melon

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Banana texture is the worst. When I try to eat a banana, a lot of times I end up just chewing it to death, because my body just will not allow me to swallow it.

Good question 🙅‍♂️ So, I just don't eat bananas

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That happens to me with raw carrots.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I think you have the same thing as me: banana-allergies.

This already exists. There's a banana (in Vietnam, but I'd assume not just there) that's smallish and rounder than most others which has a distinctly sour taste that reminds me strongly of apple. Ymmv, taste being a very subjective thing.

There is no alternate universes.

Come on, don't ruin the fun for the rest of us!

If there is infinite alternate universes it means there is an alternate universe where this is true.
