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

This must be a non-American thing because outside of being raw dough or burnt, I’ve never once had to clarify how cooked I’d like my bread.

[–] EyesEyesBaby@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a non-American I have no idea what OP is talking about.

Yeah, I'm french, I just assumed it was the same everywere.

As a bread enjoyer, I'm intrigued. Would you like to elaborate a bit? All I can find is different types of bread (like different flour, shape etc.).

[–] zaph@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So is cooked a translation thing?

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

North America doesn't have a bread culture like much of Europe does, and it's sad.

[–] Pandantic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just what I was thinking. I don’t think I even have a proper bread making bakery in my town. I wish I could be in the culture that this comment is from.

Where I am you can buy part-baked bread and "well fired" rolls. https://aldprdproductimages.azureedge.net/media/resized/$Aldi_GB/05.04.22/4088600273976_0_L.jpg

I've never heard bread referred to as "cooked" in my entire life. Baked, yes.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re telling me you’ve been eating dough this whole time?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Next you'll tell me it's just flour yeast eggs milk and salt, has the whole world gone mad? 🍞 🤪

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Most bakery bread doesn't even include eggs milk and salt

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bread is just flour, water, yeast and salt (you really need the salt). If it has anything else, you're either being sold something fancy or some industrial crap.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Baking is just one type of cooking.

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Op being French is the only kind of context that could make this post make sense.

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I'm super confused.

Is there a reason you're saying cooked rather than baked?

Even swapping cooked for baked I'm still confused.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I heard somewhere that one time there was an Asian lady that didn't know the word 'toast', so while at a restaurant part of her order was 'bread, medium rare' LOL!

Hey, lacking the right word, it does at least make sense when you think about it for a moment.

[–] jesterraiin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Overthinking.

Do not do it.

[–] n00b001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But these bread buns are hot and need glazing
