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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not as fun without the suffering.

Seems like a real risk for the introduction of prion diseases.

But you could knock out the prion protein gene in the cell lines you use for meat production. It’s not needed for cell survival as far as I know.

Eat a steak made of the cells of your favourit celebrity.

Thanks, that reminded me of the story of "Perfume" again.
