Enchickification

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 9 points 1 day ago (8 children)

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

[–] just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 😅

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.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 3 points 1 day 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

Sell the yolks separately.

The subscription model would just access to online catalog of various vendors you can buy from

literally put shit on egg -- enshitification

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 day 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.

Eggshitification

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.

Took me a minute to decipher through the minimal pixels but once I got it, made me giggle

- 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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (10 children)

Egg lootboxes already exist, they're called kinder surprise

Eggland's Best already stamps their logo on the eggs they sell. I consider that advertising on the eggs.

Their eggs are so bad I'm surprised they don't stamp other companies' logos on them.

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

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

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

Eggs watch you and record all of your conversations

probably waste money to use ink to print ads on the eggs.
