Random Midnight Thoughts #1 Maybe you have my answer

So I’m trying to sleep but can’t because I keep thinking really random and strange things.

Maybe somebody can give me an answer on this one! If a chicken eats a load of peanuts in it’s diet, and then get’s butchered, will a person with a nut allergy have an allergic reaction?

If the chicken had fully digested the nuts then there would be zero chance of a reaction.

That's good to know.

If you take all the sponges out of the sea would the sea levels increase/decrease/stay the same?
Someone asked me this years ago and I'm still uncertain. The answer isn't as clear cut as it may appear to be IMO.

That’s a good one! I always think if something is take out it should increase?
Where’s our Marine Biologists!

Yeah but some of the sponges you'd be taking out would have a high water content which you'd also be removing and water would have to distribute to take up the space of the removed sponges.

It's like a total bollock to put it into scientific terms.

But wouldn't you just squeeze out the sponges?

I'd have to confer with the special scientific bollock adjudication panel on that one.
It could be construed as cheating. You'd have to get it all out.
It makes my brain hurt.

When lightning hits the sea, why aren’t all the dolphins electrocuted?
(Thanks to an episode of Miranda for putting that in my head 😬)

I think they possibly could be if they were swimming close to the surface. I think it’s a case of when lightening hits water it acts as a conductor causing it to disperse over a wide surface area rather than penetrating deep enough to harm anything swimming beneath.

Why do vegetarian/vegans want to eat products that are made to look and taste like meat products the one thing they are avoiding 🤔

I once read that it was to encourage more people to eat meatless but providing food they are used too.
But I agree, what’s the point. Surely you want to stop eating things that remind you of little lambs jumping round in fields

Because we like meat, just not that it’s come from an animal. I can’t eat some of the fake meat, it’s just too meat like.

I tried some veggie burgers a while ago and they looked like they were actually bleeding when they were cooking very bizarre

I’ve wondered this too. And my vegan neighbour wears loads of faux fur, it really makes me wonder sometimes 🤨

How else could vegan/vegetarian substitutes be made though, you can't have a triangle shaped stawberry tasting sausage, it wouldn't fit in the bun and taste disgusting with chips :LOL: it just makes sense to look and taste like meat so it goes with what you eat it with

Why do we (UK) turn the clocks back to give us "extra daylight"? This illusion only works for one day (the day that the clocks are turned back), there are still the same amount of hours in a day, and the sun doesn't shine for any longer, if anything, daylight hours reduce at this time of year. It really annoys me, I rant about it every single year!
