Nobody ever seems to point out when they make a right-side-up cake.

      You mean an upside down cake upside down?

          Exactly

              Isn’t that a cobbler?

            It’s the default. Right-side-up-cake is just “cake.” 🤷‍♂️

            Just like how most cakes don’t use a pound of butter so we have to specify between “cake” and “pound cake.”

                Wait but pound cake is specifically a pound of all ingredients, no?

                    Yeah, that’s why. Pound of flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and then some rose water and spices to taste

                      I don’t remember, to be honest. I just remember the butter. 🤷‍♂️

                          Hah and then you add the other ingredients based on what ‘looks right,’ and voila, it ends up being a pound of everything anyway 😅

                        Right, but that’s less funny.

                        I think I’ll start pointing it out.

                        What about left side up?

                          “I made a cake!”

                          Me pointing out I made a right side up cake.

                            I could be wrong, but I think the only cake that is guaranteed upside-up is one that you serve still in the pan you baked it in. That is more a choice of manner in which to serve the cake than a function of the sponge itself.

                            Upside down cake is constructed before baking in a way that is intended to be inverted from the baking orientation to serve.

                                  Upsidedown apple cake is the best

                                      I usually blame the French Tatin sisters, tbh

                                      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.
