Also isn't there like 12 bazillion chickens per person? No fucking way could it be cats/dogs.

Rats? There are millions and millions of them. They breed rapidly. But, I would’ve assumed it was some type of insect.

Yeah, we had originally thought mice until our brains went exoskeleton.

Edit: That makes it sound like we were so open mind d our brains fell out 🤣

If they’d fallen out you’d probably have gone with cats and dogs like the other brain dead people at that quiz.

26 billion chickens globally, apparently.

That's a lot less than I expected.

We probably churn through that amount every six months 🫤 But would they even still exist without us? The existential crisis of the chicken.

Thought I'd make a "What is my purpose?" meme

Needed a picture of a chicken to cover the robot...

Welp, no need to make the meme anymore...
