Tell me you’ve never had to get eggs out of a nest, without telling me. Shit everywhere. They’re birds. So much shit.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

When I was a kid I went to fetch the eggs often, and it was quite rare they weren't, to the eye at least, all good.

- 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

Micro transaction: Get the yolk for free but the white costs .99

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

Want your eggs unfertilized? That'll be $0.99 each

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

The others are in the lootboxes

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

[-] rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

garden raised, or regenerative but these are more expensive eggs.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

To the same level that people imprisoned in Auschwitz did, yeah

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 1 week ago

and they are slaughtered when they're no longer useful.

oh, you already said auschwitz.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

and then getting slaughtered at the end of the growing season, or if BIRD FLU hits, they all get wiped out at once.

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 11 points 1 week ago

fun fact: chickens usually give 1 egg a month, but due to severe selective breeding, they give 1-2 a DAY. Ugh.

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

This comic shouldn't be about the chickens, it's the farmers who are doing the exploitation.

[-] just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 😅

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 3 points 1 week ago

Nah, they bred them to lay more eggs. They are more than desirable. They WANTED this. More eggs = more money. Who cares about nutrition. LINE MUST GO UP

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

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I’m just gonna mute those egg ads, the sizzle for crispy fried eggs no more for me

Fewer eggs laid per week, but charge the same for them.

[-] Cattail@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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.
