Eggshitification

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

- 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 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Egg lootboxes already exist, they're called kinder surprise

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Poor old USA never got Kinder surprise, the FDA stopped them from ever being sold there since a plastic shell in chocolate "non-nutritive items implanted in food makes them not suitable for sale

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Plenty of calories in plastic

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm vegan so I don't eat plastic

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

FDA is run by big microplastic, not smol macroplastic.

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

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Won't fertilised be more expensive since that would mean one could potentially make second generation produce?

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Not really. I was thinking do you want your eggs to be guaranteed not to have blood spots or accidentally give you baluut? Pay extra.

Also, some weird people get very strange about eating fertilized eggs, like they're full of rooster jizz. Which is stupid. It's a chicken, eat it now or eat it later, you're still eating a chicken.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

like their full of rooster jizz

Hehe, all animals embryos are made of animal jizz.
Still better than stuff made out of the intestines which might have some remnant faecal matter if not cleaned properly.


I thought it would be something about eating a future-chicken vs eating an egg that would otherwise just rot away or be eaten by the chicken that laid it.

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.

Enchickification

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 1 month ago (6 children)

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 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

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 2 points 1 month 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

[–] just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 😅

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 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] coolman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They get free food, housing, and medical care

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

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 1 month ago

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

oh, you already said auschwitz.

Sell the yolks separately.

[–] inconel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What free eggs lol Humans literally pay for their entire existence already.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty much a subscription model.

The domesticated species do seem to be able to survive in the wild though.

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Cattail@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

Enchickification

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

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.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Eggs watch you and record all of your conversations
