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

Expired food? There might be laws against stuff like that.
I am not a lawyer, yadda yadda, but best before dates are only the manufacturer saying "this will taste like advertised up until this date". It's still perfectly fine to eat, usually for a good while. So I think you'd be fine if you just sufficiently made people aware that the best by date has passed, and that they should use common sense before consuming.
It's probably a different story for things with an actual expiration date
