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.

Former PE worker. Orange chicken is whole chicken breast and chicken nuggets is like a sculpted chicken pureé
Physical Education?
Not sure of this is a real question but in case it is, Panda Express
It's real, I don't go around studying and memorizing abbreviations of fast food places.
Ahhk damn... I only take culinary information from Physical Education teachers.
Aren't a lot of the innards aside from meat also ground up in said puree?
Glad they're using the whole chicken
75% more chicken per chicken.
Not just the innards, but the outtards, too. They grind those baby chickens up whole
Those chicks might end up in cat food, but it wouldn't be allowed in US nuggets.
Sure Jan.
Acceptable level of rat feces. You think that there’s not an acceptable level of chicken feathers and beak?
Yep, you eat rat poop.
And probably feathers and beak, too.
But the baby chick macerator drops the fluffy goo into a different bucket. It's not even necessarily the same processing plant as where the adult chickens are slaughtered for meat. Freshly hatched chicks are sexed so the boys can be immediately culled. Other meat doesn't go into that macerator, so you'd have to go out of your way to add it to the nugget mix, and the benfit of a few extra lbs of mostly feathers and bone are not going to be worth the effort.
While this may be true: I have worked at 4 different chicken processing places (though 3 of them were owned by Foster Farms) and they all handled every part of production from farm to package. Both chicks and adults.
And it sucks being on any part of the line that is dealing with the live animals. It's one of the reasons I don't eat a lot of chicken any more. One of my first jobs ever as a teen was cutting the toes off the birds so they wouldn't be able to scratch each other up if they started fighting.
That has to do with the fact that the entire American chicken industry is exploitative to the people raising the chickens as well as the chickens. Since the factory is both the hatchery and the processing plant, the farmers never even own the chickens. They're more like babysitting them by taking out a loan from the bank. They get squeezed, default, and somebody else comes along to keep it up. Reasonably this sort of business practice should be outlawed as anti-competitive.
And you think there's no acceptable amounts of rat poop in any other food you eat? Funny.
Chickens aren't grown in sterile level 4 labs. There's all kinds of contaminants in every food you eat. Many many more so if you buy "organic" because those fertilisers and weed killers are far less pure.
There are exceptions, of course. But you'll still find miniscule trace amounts of quicksilver in baby food every once in a while, sure. So little that the check machines won't even register there's any at all but a lab could still find some. But by and large, there are acceptable levels for everything and we check for all of that, too. There's a reason it's an industry, not grabbing a random chicken from the street and biting it's head off.
Outtards lol
these idiots who spend time outside
Yummy
Yeah, so? Organ meat is rich in nutrients, most often B vitamins, Iron, and vitamin A.
So?
No reason, just curious. I figured it's similar to the contents of hotdogs, but chicken stuff instead of cow stuff.
most hotdogs are pig stuff. beef hotodogs are fancy
Interesting. I thought most Chinese places use cubed chicken thighs.
