Humans don't eat chickens' kids. They eat chickens' period discharge

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Every chicken is some other chickens kid, and I eat the fuck out of 'em.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago

Holy shit WE CAUSED THE GEK?!

[-] TxzK@lemmy.zip 55 points 1 year ago

Wait how does that work? Why does the egg not just.. roll over?

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 134 points 1 year ago

Searched it up cause I was curious too. It's the white tern, and according to Wikipedia, the egg does roll off frequently. The bird simply doesn't care and lays another egg

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

The epitome of zero fucks give.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 35 points 1 year ago

The time they used to build a nest could be used to lay more egg.

This makes the meme even better.

[-] askat@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

What about hatchlings? Do they fall of the tree?

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Yes, Wikipedia mentioned that they fall too. The article mentions that the hatchlings have wide feet to help lessen the chances that they fall

Baby bird: I had to evolve and adapt because my parents don't care about me.

Parents bird: Lol, STFU duck-feet loser

As long as more eggs are hatched than fall, it works.

Though, “your parents dropped you as an egg” jokes seem… appropriate,

[-] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago

I think it's as long as more eggs hatch than birds die, it works.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Eh, now we’re getting into when is it a bird…

(Sorry, sorry.)

But as long as you have one or two eggs hatching, it doesn’t matter if a couple dozen fall.

Or more.

Can't you see it's the galaxy brain option meaning it's got zero problems??

[-] TxzK@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

I guess their intelligence has it's own gravity that stops the egg from rolling over

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

True it's entirely a skill issue

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

“If it’s stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid.” - that bird.

“You learned that from your parents, didn’t you?”- weaver birds.

[-] UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

huh, and every time i give my bird an egg, he eats it

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

YOLK FOR THE YOLK GOD, ALBUMEN FOR THE ALBUMEN THRONE.

[-] Zoop@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, your bird is hardcore. Tell him I say hi!
