Why not Peso Rubles?
It's simply criminal that Paso Robles doesn't have an Italian restaurant called "Pasta Robles".

Ok… oddly I am coming to the defense of my small hometown.
Robles means Oak (Tree) in Spanish. The full name of Paso Robles is El Paso De Robles which means the The Paso of the Oaks.
Pasta Robles would be blending two languages together and would mean Oak Tree Pasta.
I think the name would make more people, from various cultures and language backgrounds, upset than just naming a pasta restaurant Oak Tree Pasta.
Also, there are already enough pasta restaurants in Paso, a quirky name like Pasta Robles wouldn’t fair well against their established competition.
BUT if a Vietnamese or Indian restaurant were to open with a fun Paso Robles themed name then I think it would do well regardless of the name. The redneck fortress looking Big Bubba’s Bad BBQ was the only place to get semi-legit BBQ in Paso for a long time despite the name and venue. I guess they have recently rebranded to Bubba’s Smokehouse & Spirits but the redneck fortress aesthetic is still on full display.

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.
