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.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

At the time of this comment, 3 down voters. Who are these people? Anti foie gras people to the point of it being even mentioned gets a down vote? Heavy drinkers that hate French food? Ducks or geese that have opposable thumbs?

Shills for big foie gras?

Could be worse, at least you're not suffering from self induced ortolan, AKA the dish so degenerate that it is eaten under a cloth "to hide from the eyes of god such overwhelming decadence."

TIL!

The ortolan is served in French cuisine, typically cooked and eaten whole. Traditionally diners cover their heads with their napkin or a towel while eating the delicacy. The bird is so widely used that its French populations dropped dangerously low, leading to laws restricting its use in 1999. In September 2007, the French government announced its intent to enforce long-ignored laws protecting the bird

Or duck 🦆 but yes. Damn near broke up with an ex of mine when she asked me if I would be bothered by her ordering foie gras, and then explained what it is.
