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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you consider cellulose to be wood, sure. They don't put actual wood in there.

What cellulose do they use then?

[–] scutiger 1 points 4 months ago

Cellulose can come from just about any type of plant. Cotton is almost entirely cellulose, for example.

I don't know what their cellulose comes from, but saying cellulose is trees is like saying milk is cheese.
