No one ever looks in pepper grinders until they are empty, you could put a decent amount of dead beetles in one and the owner never even know.

    You must not use good pepper corns then if you can’t tell the difference between pepper and dead beetles.

      These are very good dead beetles. Please don’t compare them to peppercorns.

        At 50% percentage, the peppercorn grinder becomes a beetle grinder full of peppercorns.

      There’s a very exact ratio where the average person wouldn’t notice. I imagine it’s higher than you’d think

        How much sawdust can you put in a rice crispy treat before someone notices?

          Nah things like this just come to me, kinda like intrusive thoughts, then they rattle around until I tell someone.

          One of the few things I have morals about is that you do not fuck with peoples food.

    I think I’d notice, because I look at the food I’m eating. I suppose ground beetles look different enough from ground pepper.

    But I also have a bit of a biology background, so YMMV.

    (Also taste, but I don’t know as much about that. Maybe there are pepper beetles, I don’t know about. But there are definitely some poisonous ones I’d rather avoid. )

    Serves those rich, pepper-mill using people right! If you’re not scavenging your meals from dumpsters, you’re probably exploiting the working class somehow.

        Then it probably already came with beetles. You get a pass.

    I don’t use pepper but I use Himalayan crystal salt so your point stands, there could be decent amount of dead Buddhist monks there.

    (I guess I’ll have to be checking from now on.)

      To be fair, anyone eating normal salt could in fact be consuming the remains of Lot’s wife.

      Anywhere, where you can get insects as food. There are dedicated online shops and the only other place I’ve ever found them IRL was a camping/outdoors supplier, they are a very light source of protein. That’s in the EU though, don’t know how insect food is regulated wherever you live.

      I never bought it though, I found it pretty expensive, don’t really need it, and I’m a vegetarian anyways. I have tried them at a museum once, though. Pretty unspectacular if you ask me, a bit nutty in taste but also quite dry. I prefer actual nuts as a snack.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
