literally put shit on egg -- enshitification
post
- 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
Egg lootboxes already exist, they're called kinder surprise
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"
FDA is run by big microplastic, not smol macroplastic.
Plenty of calories in plastic
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.
Micro transaction: Get the yolk for free but the white costs .99
Want your eggs unfertilized? That'll be $0.99 each
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.
Took me a minute to decipher through the minimal pixels but once I got it, made me giggle
Eggland's Best already stamps their logo on the eggs they sell. I consider that advertising on the eggs.
I’m just gonna mute those egg ads, the sizzle for crispy fried eggs no more for me
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
The subscription model would just access to online catalog of various vendors you can buy from
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.
This comic shouldn't be about the chickens, it's the farmers who are doing the exploitation.
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.
Pasture raised all day babyyyyy
Tbh even pasture raised isn't perfect but it's the only way I let myself engage with the egg industry
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.
They get free food, housing, and medical care
To the same level that people imprisoned in Auschwitz did, yeah
and then getting slaughtered at the end of the growing season, or if BIRD FLU hits, they all get wiped out at once.
What free eggs lol Humans literally pay for their entire existence already.
Goes hand in hand with collectibles. Then random surprises inside the egg, like a loot box.
Usually you don't want surprises in your eggs. This changes the whole game!
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.
Well don't you need the roster to make them in to baby chickens?
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?
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
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?
Chickens lay eggs anyway
Oh, I thought we give them food and security from wildlife in return
are you being sarcastic, or do you mean it? because if you mean it, oh boy, do i have bad news for you.
We could sell hats for the eggs?
- Shovel AI features into eggs and layoff chickens to combat declining sales (due to enshittification) with investor interest
Egg ai hallucinations...
- extra shells
- infinite shells
- shotgun shells
- infinite nesting egg recursions
- hard boiling a Kinder Surprise egg will give a yellow paintball inside
- you can substitute 1 raw egg for a Cadbury egg
I don’t like it, but I get it
