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 40 points 2 months ago

Looks like you brought a chicken to a sardine fight 😎

[-] AceOnTrack 18 points 2 months ago

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

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

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Emu eggs. They fought in the war.

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They didn't just fight, they won.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Maybe with some gravity assist?

Or velocity assist?

Supposing you hard boiled one…

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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.

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!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

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 2 months 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.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months 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/

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 89 points 2 months ago

Isn't egg an even weaker chicken?

[-] errer@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago
[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 months ago

An unfertilised egg is just a period, no?

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

I'd say they take the average between the two

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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

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 2 months ago

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

Dinasour Coloring Book

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago
[-] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Right next to the dinasavoury

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 13 points 2 months 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.

[-] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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

That's funny. I lost a lot of weight partly by eating a ton more chicken. It's high in protein, lean, and healthy. It's like a perfect food.
