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-----

I wonder if there exists people who aggressively believe mushrooms are plants, similar to people who defend Pluto as a planet. (slrpnk.net)

It was only in 1969 (nice) that fungi officially became its own separate kingdom.

The mycelium, maybe. That is definitely not the part of the mushroom that you eat.

so hang on, mushrooms are like uh, well not milk, but as if say a cow regrew its meat every season? or maybe like a lizard that regrows its tail?

mushrooms are weird, man

wild idea, would it be possible to hijack mycelium with animal DNA and make it grow mushroom shaped meat??
