Isn't egg an even weaker chicken?

Chickens are so weak they just let you eat their babies.

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

An unfertilised egg is just a period, no?

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, you're eating the UN-fertilized ones?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 5 hours ago

If you are eating the fertilised ones then you're just back around to eating chicken again.

What's the strength modifier on a chicken laying an egg?

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

I'd say they take the average between the two

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s clearly based on the ratio of circumference to diameter. For an oval/egg shape similar to pi although not constant.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

We're gonna end up basing this on a spherical chicken in a vacuum, aren't we?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 90 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Depends on the arena I guess

I am wondering about the logic of cutting chicken out for it being weak, yet still consuming unborn, and assumedly weaker still, chickens

[–] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

Looks like you brought a chicken to a sardine fight 😎

[–] AceOnTrack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago

if the alpha males could read, they're be very angry at your comment.

[–] jack_of_sandwich 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He didn't say chicken eggs. Maybe he eats ostrich eggs. Ostrich is a good strong manly bird!

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Emu eggs. They fought in the war.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They didn't just fight, they won.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

If you ever seen an emu up close you can see why. I'm not sure to what extent birds are dinosaurs, and to what extent they're actually a different species, but if any bird is a dinosaur it's the emu. Albeit an incredibly stupid and aggressive dinosaur.

Chicken vs ostrich egg is, at best for the egg, a stalemate.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Maybe with some gravity assist?

Or velocity assist?

Supposing you hard boiled one…

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eating unborn weaker chickens lets you eat their future, their potential. Thus you take what they could be which is more powerful than just taking what they are as a chicken.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

This is why Hillary Clinton consumes the fetuses of the children she molests in her underground pizza restaurant basement network, to consume their life force. This is why eggs are so expensive.

Barnyard vs. Bay, don't miss the fight of the century!

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Giving this person all of the doubts and then some: Chicken often get fed estrogen to force their growth. I believe, traces of this estrogen can still be found in the meat. And then there was also a myth that this estrogen could affect the cup size, in both women and men.

So, maybe there's some half-knowledge of a myth in there and that's why their misbelief, that avoiding estrogen makes them manly, somehow lead them to cut out chicken meat...?

To give any source at all, this looks like a pretty comprehensive discussion, although no idea if it is trustworthy: https://featheredfarmlife.com/chicken-and-hormones-separating-fact-from-fiction/

Eggs have every single vitamin you need in a day, except vitamin C, and lots of protein I guess. I presume those vitamins have been consumed by the hatched chicken. Not sure about the biochemistry here but I assume the vitamins are then "spent". I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

That may be true, but I can't think of a single opponent that wouldn't best an egg in a versus fight

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 1 day ago

Puss in Boots

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this fight of flavor or physical strength? Of course anyone can crush an egg, but not just anyone tastes better.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'd like to make the point of nutritional value. 😅

It's hard to explain but that's sort of before they're born. You get to absorb the essence of the entire life that they would have had ahead of them.

An adult chicken has already lived most of their life. All you're getting is weakness from old age.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 14 points 1 day ago

If you want to be a true alpha carnivore, only eat things that would be a challenge to kill in combat.

The Nazis presumably tried to bring the aurochs back from extinction because they had the same brainworms.

Was gonna say "dynamosaur" as a joke, then figured there's gotta be an anime with that name.

Turns out the T-rex would've almost been called that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specimens_of_Tyrannosaurus#Dynamosaurus:_NHMUK_R7994

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was amazed, but you can buy a "dinasour" colouring book, so maybe they're right.

Dinasour Coloring Book

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Looks like I’m the real dinasour for not keeping up with the times.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sweet is a weak flavour. Real alphas only eat Dinabitters.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Right next to the dinasavoury

I'm probably in a bubble but it seems like most people online these days are so fine with vegetarian / vegan options that now the "beef heads" have become the annoying vegans of food health discussion

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

Master debater there.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yes I'd like to die of a heart attack and/or salt overdose and/or cholesterol
