That’s only a chicken to the state of Alabama if it is fertilized.

There is something that tickles me about calling the egg aisle the Alabama orphanage though (stolen from a post the other day)

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 23 points 8 months ago

If anyone needs me I'll be wanking it in the egg aisle

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago

Uhhhhh Security!!

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Glazed doughnuts ain't got shit on this guy, look at him go!

[-] Bocky@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

If you look at the center of the yolk, there is a white spot. No it’s not cum. But it does look like this particular egg was fertilized.

Source: I have a rooster in my flock and about 99% of all our eggs are fertilized. It makes no difference for eating the eggs. But if I incubate them or let the hens do it, they will hatch after 21 days

[-] doingless@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Commercial eggs aren't fertilized. Most backyard chicken eggs aren't fertilized. It's mostly homestead farmer types with roosters around their hens that have fertilized eggs. And that white spot doesn't mean anything.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

That's interesting, I had no idea

[-] poppy@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

A shocking amount of people do seem to think all chicken eggs could turn into chicks/are fertilized. On more than one occasion I’ve explained that your run-of-the mill carton of eggs at the grocery store is just chicken menstruation, not viable fertilized eggs.

[-] gorlak@lemmy.world 65 points 8 months ago

I guess this clears up which came first: the chicken or the egg.

In Alabama there are only chickens.

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Surprisingly, that is consistent with evolutionary science. (The chicken coming first part. Not the 'eggs are chickens' part)

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I came here to make almost this comment. Yours turned out better.

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

If a man is just a featherless biped, and if embryos are children, then can we therefore conclude that the pictured egg is actually, in fact, a feathered human?

[-] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

I figure since our digestive system is a hole going right down the middle of our bodies that we are wrapped around, humans are technically doughnut shaped therefore grains also count as human embryo's, lock them farmers up! /s

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Okay, Diogenes, calm down.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Well it's like they say: can't make an omelet without murdering a few babies!

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Making a mother of all omelettes here, Jack. Can't fret over every egg

Alabama is only one step away from a future long ago predicted: https://youtu.be/fUspLVStPbk?si=yf0xD2XrNkGKgt87

Scrambled eggs are now Animal Cruelty in the state of Alabama.

People always out here yelling "reported" when I'm like "so who the fuck was the first to ported?"

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

The "port" in "report" comes from the meaning "to carry," so I guess the first person to ever receive information that they intended to relay to someone else was the first to port.

[-] Haagel@lemmings.world 10 points 8 months ago
[-] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

Thank goodness. It would seriously bug me if you said he entomologyzes.

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

Now This guy entomologyzes.

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Other comment is amusing, but to my understanding, the actual answer is that the prefix "re-" has different connotations in the original Latin. Over time, it got streamlined in English into just meaning "again," but originally, it carried the connotation of returning, of turning back. You can kinda see how repeating an action could be viewed as similar in concept to the concept of turning back (for instance, if you need to redo something, you need to turn back and start over).

So to port means to carry something somewhere, and to report means to carry something back, like a scout returning to base with information.

Except in this case, we're the scouts, the mods are the base, and the information is Alabaman egg

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

thank you. somebody's gotta get this under control

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Ikr! Them predators are having a field day, it's disgusting!

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago
[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

for nothing. it was a joke

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Ah, okay. Well, now I'm curious what rule you were joking was being violated.

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

for supposedly showing the death of an embryo (in Alabama).

Just to be clear, I didn't report anything. I was just making a joke that didn't go over well.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Okay, now I got it. There was too little info for me to make the connection. "Reported for murder" or something like that, I would have figured out.

[-] rynzcycle@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

That is a chicken.
That is my brain on drugs.
My brain on drugs is a chicken.
