    You know that dude that bet he could recognize toilet paper brands by taste? He won that bet.

    Also the reason paper tastes sweet is xylotol (wood sugar). It has some amazing properties and is edible in small doses.

        Enought for most chewing gum. After about two tea spoons I start shitting my brains out. That warning on tic tacs about not earing too much at once? Thats for the xylotol inside.

          I thought tic tacs were made of like 99% pure sugar and/or HFCS.

        There’s a video (below) where they make rice crispies with sawdust as an added ingredient. Like 10-30% sawdust was fine and just affected the texture. It wasn’t until 50% sawdust that they tasted bad. https://youtu.be/AKDal51f5LU?si=79LBDaYnRmLa1cSn

      Lmao, dude didn’t take op for his word and thought “I won’t really know if I like paper until I eat this whole book”. So by panel two he’s devoured the whole book, and you know what? He doesn’t really like paper.

      It’s a very likely cause. OP should get their iron checked.

    Paper is cellulose and glue. Cellulose doesn’t have any flavor, so you’re probably enjoying the glue as it dissolves.

    I can verify from long-ago experience that the paper in school exercise books does not taste good. Do you think they add bittering agents?

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
