      Or, as the Germans call it, “jein”.

        Of course there’s a specific German word for this. Thanks for the fun fact.

      One I snack on with unsalted tortilla chips, the other I do not. But now I have to try it.

        Unsalted? Demon!!!

        Also maybe sugar and cinnamon on tortilla chips with peanut butter and a chocolate drizzle would be good. Just toast the chips to heat them and toss in some brown sugar and cinnamon.

          I always thought jelly on corn chips would be good, but maybe that’s nacho jam.

    I was going to make a joke about a hummus and jelly sandwich, but now that I think about it, that might be pretty good.

    Thinking about a tart cherry jam with hummus on a pita.

      Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes.

      Tahini is made from sesame seeds. So, I’d say not as closely related.

        Tahini is a vital ingredient in hummus.

          forgetting that there’s tahini in there is like thinking mayo is just raw blended eggs

          That seems like the exact point they were making.

            No, LordMayor did not seem to understand why Tahini was being mentioned.

        Do almond butter isn’t in the same category as peanut butter?

    I’ve used peanut butter in place of tahini to make humm-ish before. Not bad at all.

      Yes bad at all.

      Got a falafel with peanut butter based hummus once. left the restaurant after the first bite, more disapointing than the GOT finale

      Yeah, I use unsweetened peanut butter (effectively just mushed peanuts) in lots of recipes where tahini would normally be used.

      I still need to figure out, if I’m using tahini wrong. 😅
      Sesame always tastes bitter to me, as does tahini. Peanut butter doesn’t…

      Bad hummus is. Good hummus will have other ingredients like garlic and lemon.

      Peanut butter is the opposite. Good peanut butter is just ground peanuts. Bad peanut butter includes a bunch of random garbage like sugar and palm oil. You know peanut butter is good if it has oil on top at the store.

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.
