    - NFTs of specific eggs
    - egg crypto currency
    - mandatory AI driven (needs an account) app to use the egg
    - lower the production to control the price
    - lobby the gov to mandate that everyone needs to consume an egg a day & be able to prove it (or jail time)
    - use personal data to determine the optimal price per eg for each customer
    - egg loot boxes

    Poor old USA never got Kinder surprise, the FDA stopped them from ever being sold there since a plastic shell in chocolate are "non-nutritive items implanted in food" that makes them "not suitable for sale"

    I wonder why they don't ban the king cakes in Louisiana. They all have a plastic baby in them and those things really can fuck up your teeth. They are also horrible but that's a side issue.

    Oh wow I just looked those up. Other than the plastic baby that looks tasty, although I may be biased since I may love baked goods too much

    King cake is legitimately the worst cake I've ever eaten. They're dry and flavorless and covered with multicolored sugar that always has an odd taste to it. Maybe a fresh one is OK but generally they're made in the months leading up to Mardi Gras and they always sit around for a while. And then you lose a fucking tooth -- and for bonus points, if you get the baby you have to buy the fucking cake next year.

    Won't fertilised be more expensive since that would mean one could potentially make second generation produce?

    Not really. I was thinking do you want your eggs to be guaranteed not to have blood spots or accidentally give you baluut? Pay extra.

    Also, some weird people get very strange about eating fertilized eggs, like they're full of rooster jizz. Which is stupid. It's a chicken, eat it now or eat it later, you're still eating a chicken.

    like their full of rooster jizz

    Hehe, all animals embryos are made of animal jizz.
    Still better than stuff made out of the intestines which might have some remnant faecal matter if not cleaned properly.


    I thought it would be something about eating a future-chicken vs eating an egg that would otherwise just rot away or be eaten by the chicken that laid it.

    Technically chickens lay eggs and shit using the same external opening (cloacal opening), so it's just a matter of controling shit-to-egg ratio. It was designed to carry out enshittification once they seize the global market. /s

    My local Shop-Rite recently recently had a sale of a dozen "large" eggs for 99 cents. I bought a dozen and they were like the size of fucking quail eggs. Can't complain for $1, I guess. These days, I have to buy Jumbo eggs in order to get something that is like the size of a normal egg.

    I find it kinda hard to understand how they are able to process nutrients into an egg so fast. and am inclined to believe that the nutrient composition would be very different, with the quick-layers being much less desirable.

  • That sounds like BS. Chickens evolved to take advantage of bamboo fruiting season which happened once in 7 years, so as soon as that time came, chicken population would increase rapidly. So people figured out if we feed the chickens a lot, they lay a lot of eggs. That was the whole reason to breed them.

    If you could engineer any bird to lay 1-2 eggs a day from once a month, why only do this to chickens? Why not other birds? Why only chicken?

    Edit: the heck, my app bugged out big time. Made 4-5 comments, sorry for that 😅

    Technically not free. They get free food, housing, and medical care. For some thats probably better than what they got now.

    You mean suffer horribly in tiny cages and forced to pump out eggs at an unnatural rate and then slaughtered when they are deemed "spent".

    And cage-free is a minority of the world egg production. And even cage-free has issues with quality of life.

    Not to mention the billions of male chicks that are ground alive the day they hatch because they are useless.

    also some companies are very "tricky" in thier marketing, cage free doesnt mean range or pasture raised. it means they are still in large overcrowded barns, with potentially disease or dead chickens, its also call range free." tyson farms or foster farms is what your thinking cages stack upon cages of sickly chickens.

    you are looking for pasture, or garden raised(the latter more bougie cost") or regenerative farming.

    chickens don't give out free eggs, we take them from them by force and we don't really ask.

    it as if slave-catcher catching people to sell them to slavery commented on the topic with "hey, free people!"

    If you let chickens be in charge of their own eggs they will stop laying and try to raise their children.

    Not necessarily, no. Chickens are capable of parthenogenesis, or reproduction without a male, tho it’s fairly rare.

    It would probably happen a lot more if we tried incubating all the unfertilized eggs we have them produce every day, but they take longer to mature and are smaller on average than chickens born from sexual reproduction, so it’s not really worth pushing for from a husbandry standpoint.

    Well but naturally, if you got a hen just laying eggs, what will happen if nobody picked the eggs?

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 4 child comments
  • [–] 3 points 8 months ago* (2 children)

    Parthenogenesis is natural, an adaptation for adverse conditions, typically caused by a specific gene (or genes perhaps, the research is pretty young yet). If it happens and they tend their nest like they want to, it’ll hatch and be female.

    Most chickens won’t produce self-fertile eggs at all, and those that can don’t always produce fertile eggs either by my understanding, so most of them will just be wasted. But if you get a specific breed that’s known for it the chances are much higher.

    Yeah that's my point. Only in rare occurrences will they be actual chickens, most of the time, they're going to waste

  • source

  • [–] 2 points 8 months ago

    I certainly didn’t mean to imply anything else, it’s a rare gene after all, just that there are an absolute ton of eggs produced daily and I bet if you were to incubate all of them you’d have a lot more fertile than you’d think. Not a lot of people out there incubating eggs (or letting their chickens do it) from cock-free flocks to see what happens, you know?

    More like a bad joke, but there is some truth to it depending on conditions (Ie. Free range chickens), other than that we're the predators, so obviously it's very ironic to say we're protecting them
