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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I work in retail. Stuff already goes to food banks. The dates on those products are usually the sell by date, and quite arbitrary. They're mostly for quality sake, rather than "not safe to consume" sake. Like a loaf of bread may not be as moist and soft as it was when it was fresh, but it's perfectly fine to eat. Companies want you to be able to buy a product and expect consistent quality. But if you're hungry and in need, stale Oreos are better than no cookies at all.
Agree 100%
Not that it is expected to be content with stale oreos, but yea. Some is better than none :)
Perfection of quality expectations ruins so many things way too fast.
