I literally corrected the sentence from "hormones" to "selective breeding" and it's still factual. Simple mistake. I don't watch shitty Facebook videos, and my brain isn't rotten... I just miss remembered what I assume was the scene from super size me 2 mentioned by another poster.

I also included a quote and a citation and my original post about how they grow so large so fast they often collapse under their own weight.

Truly the greatest of errors misremebering that was because of hormones ๐Ÿ™„

The explanation behind this is actually pretty disturbing. Due to selective breeding ~~the growth hormones we feed chickens~~ in America, the chickens become fully grown much earlier than usual. It's like the equivalent of becoming a fully grown adult by the time you are the age of five, but you still have the mental and muscle capacity of a five year old.

Between 1957 and 2005, chickens raised for their meat quadrupled in size due to selective breeding. They grow to their slaughter weight in just 6 weeks, and their legs often struggle to support their own body weight.

I am assuming you are mistaken and you meant Claritin-D, which does have pseudoephedrine so I don't know why everyone is downvoting you... it's also what I've always taken when I was congested and it works wonderfully.

Mississippi Queen! If you know what I mean.

I hate it when people say Washington and they mean District of Columbia as a resident of the state... at least say Washington DC in the title for fucks sake

I just watched James Dingley's Atomic Frontier video on cheese talk about this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bISFxFauTzM

Milk first is superior because you always have crunchy cereal if you just sprinkle a little in at a time

In a similar vein, there is also https://www.dekudeals.com/ for the Nintendo switch. It has similar functionality where you can make an account and be notified when games go on sale for consoles.

They included Jolly Ranchers hard sweets containing mineral oil, which if contaminated with other compounds can initiate cancer formations.

It's literally one of the first sentences in the article.
