/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse.

Well, no. First, vomit is a waste product. Honey is not. It's meant to be eaten by the bees. It's their food. It's more akin to something like breast milk.

Don't leave me in suspense, dammit. I need to know the second point!

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's because honey, as a sugar, is hygroscopic, but sure, let's go with this shower thought, because who doesn't want a nice dollop of bee vomit over their pancakes? ;)

Ewwww, boiled tree blood only for this guy.

There was a study recently that showed that honey is such a powerful desiccant that it sucks the water out of bacteria's cells, killing the bacterium. That's why in a closed container it never spoils; all the things that could rot it are dead.

Just warm it up when it has crystallized, magically good as new!
Also, ever had whipped or creamed honey? It's crystallized, but really really finely.

it never goes bad in an airtight container, because it kills all the bacteria and creates an area so dry nothing can live.

While also attracting more bees!

You can also use tea leaves. ;)

It will go bad if you increase the water content in it, the bees allow the nectar to dry out until it has a low water content, that and they add enzymes that help cure the honey.

Does that mean beeswax is really just bee shit?
