As an American, the fuck you going on about? A crisp stick of celery makes a crispy crunch when you bite it. All you did is make weird classification for the adverb of the same word as an adjective.
Both are crunchy. Yup.
What this gotta do with america 😭
As opposed to the UK, where a crisp is a chip and a chip is a fry.
I like mixing some milk into my crisps to make sogs.
And South Central, where a Crisp is a dyslexic gangbanger.
But in the UK, is a crisp "crispy" or is "crisp" a derivative of another term or phrase?
It's called a crisp because it's crispy (at least to my knowledge).
It's almost like multiple types of food can have a brittle texture...
All of these examples are crunchy
if you cook something long enough for it to get crispy, that's still used as a favourable descriptor
wait till you learn about a crisper drawer
And CRISPR
It's like once you've had Extra Krispy
You'll never go back again
Crispy can also mean you’re contemplating the nature of Mario’s 8-bit existence

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
