          So IDK why, but I haven’t seen spoiler tags or superscript actually working on Lemmy. Is it just me?

      Given such a continuous path through your digestive system, and a noodle long enough… imagine sharing a bowl of spaghetti with your signficiant other à la "Lady and the Tramp”.

      In theory you could floss yourself and your partner with a single noodle. Just hold one end in your hand, and have her hold the other and go back and forth.

    There’s a version of this in China called Longevity Noodles: https://msshiandmrhe.com/longevity-noodles/

    The idea is to make one very long noodle to represent a wish for a very long life.

      I recently found out about Yard Long Beans… a green bean 3 feet long? Blew my mind, or whatever was left of it.

      Huh, so I will go to the gigantic Chinese grocery store near my house and inquire about this. Long noodle : Propserity

              the canned ones? Or your mom made a weird casserole? (Hot Dish sorry, if you’re in Minnesota). It’s so different. I haven;’ tried the 3 foot long beans yet, but regular green bean cooked fresh - it’;s really diferent! The canned ones are mushy and weird. They’re like, okays! But REAL green bean is pretty good. They can be toothy. They can be chewy. They can be… anything you want.

                  boil them longer! tastes like water and bean fiber, which tastes like uh… anti-bean. Negates all bean.

        Despite the common name of “yardlong”, the pods are actually only about half a yard long, so the subspecies name sesquipedalis (one-and-a-half-foot-long; 1.5 feet (0.50 yd)) is a more accurate approximation.

    The face I made when reading this was one of disgust, but honestly I have no reason for that other then knowing it just one long noodle which somehow makes me uncomfortable. Honestly, don’t know why.

    This is a clickbait YouTube video waiting to happen. And now I really want to see it to find out all the logistical issues they’d have to go through to make, cook, and eat a single noodle long enough to reasonably be considered a single plate full of spaghetti.

      I thought maybe you could take a really long noodle and feed it into water, but that would result in one end being overcooked and one end super al-dente. So, I guess, passing the noodle through the water really slowly would work. I’d put it in, then grab the end with kitchen tweezers (you have those, right?) and then move it really slowly through the boiling water.

    Noodle in the singular vs. plural is always sad, unless it’s a pool noodle. Then it can be fun.

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
