Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

This is what I got, but wings and drumettes are dark meat, not light. I think most people would not make the distinction between a whole piece of meat vs the processed meat you find in chicken nuggets, as long as they were about the same size.

ETA: the bone found in the “boneless” wing sounds like a rib bone

Yeah.

If a factory dismembers enough chickens, cutting up breasts into “boneless wings” and especially if it uses mechanically separated meat as part of what goes into the “boneless wings”, there’s bound to be one or two that end up with bone hunks in them. Which would ideally be inspected back out of them, but even that procedure, whatever it is, necessarily has a <100% success rate.

Gobbling any food, but especially animal flesh, without chewing or considering that it might have chunks in it is not smart. But given 350 million not-too-smart Americans, somebody is gonna get unlucky somehow. sometime.

Won’t someone think of the boneless chickens?

Technically, they’re white meat. :wink:

Hillary Hickland, Texas state rep and stuck-up stickybeak extraordinaire, wants to ban the sale of sex toys in drug stores, because she runs the terrible risk of becoming aroused whilst shopping. Or, perhaps, someone’s daughter might learn things improperly.

Here’s something for the MAGA-rubes to put on their Christmas list. Only $450 a bottle, probably for some repackaged rotgut.

I think the fact that wings have more fat per bite than most white meat makes it feel more like dark meat.

All chicken is white meat. (As opposed to, say, red meat such as beef.)

That white meat can be dark or light depending on what part of the chicken it came from.

Just to make sure people aren’t talking past each other here.

I approve of this clarification.

Unless it’s

(Yes, I’m kidding) :wink:

There’s a noticeable difference in texture and mouthfeel between ground chicken and chicken breast. Nobody would mistake a McNigget for a boneless wing even if you slathered it in Frank’s Redhot first.

Apple’s new AI tool for iPhones hallucinates a fake BBC article stating that Luigi Mangione has committed suicide.

That’s a very disturbing typo.

And they also include other things as a binder/marinade in a McNugget which affects the texture even more, I expect.

I will admit though that I think they are better than I remember as a kid. It used to be that you’d get a mix of dark and light meat nuggets when I was a kid, and the light meat was dry and tasteless and hard to chew. They’re all consistently pretty tasty now. (Just my personal opinion.)

Wow, that Apple AI mistake is deal-breakingly stupid.

And speaking of stupid, I’m just sure that those jerks that follow me so closely that I can’t see their headlights are going to slam into me if I even tap the brakes…

I had an old BMW (a Beater Bimmer!) that just wouldn’t quite die, and I kept a lookout for someone driving like a jackass that I could ‘encourage’ to hit me from behind.

But dammit, everyone was driving politely for the last few months of its life.

Whoops. :frowning:

Ironically, McNuggets are all white meat these days.

I know!

I remember when I first heard they were going to just light meat, I was pissed off. Then I tried them and thought they all tasted like the dark meat ones used to. (I assume whatever they use as a “marinade” keeps it from drying out.)

I think most people are more loosy-goosy about words than you think.

For me, if it’s chicken, around the size of a walnut and breaded it’s a nugget

They may be lower in myoglobin, but they’re still moister than breast meat.

Remember, the reason we call them light and dark meat is because it was too racy for Victorians to say “breast” and “thigh”.*

  • I am fully prepared to believe that that is another urban myth

I seem to have something of a problem with bumper glue, and the vehicle I have now makes the issue even more problematic. I sometimes run in “sport” mode, which slows it down much faster when I take my foot off the accelerator, but, as far as I can tell, does not inform the vehicle behind me – kind of like the olden days when one would downshift to slow down. I have, however, occasionally succeeded in ungluing them simply by going gradually slower until they get the idea and back off.

Or pass you!

I do NOT understand people who ride your butt even when you’ve slowed way down… and there are two other wide open lanes!
