Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it. Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this. There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color. But, hey, at least it tastes good, right? High five, America!

this just makes me wanna get some nuggets from mcdonalds for some reason
the fact op thought they could even get away with that blatant misinformation in the first place when the graphic they used was the fucking Tubby Custard machine amuses me like.
Even if you didn’t know what Teletubbies was that thing does not at all look like something you’d find in a factory, it’s colorful and colors cost extra.
that’s because OP’s post is a joke
I feel weird that I’m been here long enough to remember the original context–OP is mocking this post:
the picture clearly looks like some sort of strawberry ice cream, so OP did a copypasta of the original text and replaced with picture with something even funnier.
Both posts went around a lot, but it’s funny that the second, mocking post is now being reposted like OP is some kind of idiot instead of a comedic genius
the original post is actually still here: https://early-onset-of-night-blog.tumblr.com/post/1206666159/say-hello-to-mechanically-separated-chicken-its and apparently the original OP is a satire blog, anyway. So nobody was serious in the whole exchange

I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.
In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.
Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.
Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.
Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!
Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.
In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)
And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.
And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'
All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.
why is your cat green?
She’s built different 😌
Look i tried to laugh it off, but I haven’t stopped thinking about this message because… my cat literally isn’t green
like where is the green
Oh Christ
This is the color your cat is
colors i eyedropped directly from op's cat
I drew a tree using only colours eyedropped from OP's cat.
every time i see this post all i see is some green alien kitty with antennae so i had to draw it
I originally thought those were supposed to be mushrooms, implying that this cat is moldy

Heating, Ventilation and Light aboard a Ship
Three things that we somehow take for granted but could be a problem on board a ship at the time of the sailing ships. Here is a brief overview.
Heating
Was not always necessary, because if you consider that even a six rate frigate had 200 men on board and they lived very cramped together, a heater was rather superfluous even in cold regions. And the galley, the ship’s stove also produced a lot of heat btw.

But there were portable stoves, which were mainly used in the officers’ quarters, such as the Great Cabin or the Ward or Gun room. Later, during the early and mid 19th century, during the expeditionary service which was very much concerned with the Arctic regions, they were extremely necessary as these ships did not sail with the high numbers of men that the warships did.
Ventilation
Fresh air was a huge problem below the main deck. Not only was it very warm, due to the galley, but also humid. There was little opportunity to dry clothes and due to the watch system the men often went to bed with their often damp to wet clothes. This ensured that the bedding and clothing were always damp, which encouraged rheumatism and colds. (Hence the assumption that rheumatism is a seafarer’s disease). Warm and damp also made it difficult to breathe, and together with stale, vinegar-soaked air (vinegar was used for disinfection), lung diseases were also common on board.

To get some fresh air, the gunports were opened as soon as possible. The officers who had no windows, as in the gunroom, simply left the doors of their cabins open. On larger ships that had several stern windows, these were opened. But this was only possible in good weather and with little swell. Otherwise, they tried to get fresh air via the bilge pump system. The bilge was flushed and the water that came in had to be pumped out again, which provided a little fresh air. Otherwise it was a case of holding out or, if possible, going on deck.
Light
Natural light was not very common below deck. Only through the gunports could a little light come in. The officers, if they had windows, were more fortunate.

Otherwise, candles were used in lanterns or so called storm lamps. But also oil lamps but only in the officers quarters or the great cabin. The light was not very bright, but at least there was a little light. Free candles had to be handled with care as they were a potential fire hazard. But they were used, albeit very carefully and only under supervision.

Welcome Home!!! (The Mansion of Baron Von Stieglitz)
“Baron Alexander von Stieglitz (1 September 1814, St. Petersburg - 24 October 1884, St. Petersburg), Russian financier and philanthropist. Born the only son of Ludwig von Stieglitz - a Jewish German-born banker who immigrated to Russia and converted to Christianity, and who became court banker to Alexander I and was made a baron - he took over his father’s banking business at the latter’s death in 1843. He became Russia’s leading financier, the first governor of the Bank of Russia and, in addition to contributing to many other charities and institutions, was founder of the Central College of Technical Drawing (now the A. L. Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Industrial Art Academy) His Renaissance Revival mansion on the English Embankment in St. Petersburg was constructed on the site of two older buildings - and at the enormous cost of 3.5 million rubles - from 1859 to 1862, to the designs of architect Alexander Krakau. After the death of Stieglitz in 1884, the mansion was inherited by his adopted daughter, and then purchased by the State Treasury in 1887 as the intended residence of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich shortly before his marriage to Grand Duchess Alexandra Georgievna, daughter of King George I of Greece. (The building is sometimes referred to as the palace of Grand Duke Paul.) After the death of his twenty-year-old wife during the birth of their second child in 1891, the Grand Duke did not return to live in the building. For a long time afterward it stood vacant. Eventually it became home to various Soviet institutions, and was recently acquired by St. Petersburg State University. The university’s planned restoration is expected to cost fifty to sixty million dollars.”
