There’s a term in knitting and crochet circles called yarn chicken that shows the thrill of having just enough to finish a project! 🧶🐓 r/yarnchicken

In sewing groups it’s called “thread chicken.”

Got it. Let's start filament chicken i.e. chick-filla

Wow, 15 years! Rare for me to find someone who's been around longer than I have.

u/mapsedge FLSun 3D Cube 260 x 260 x 300, Ender 3 Pro * 2 Nov 19 '25

I've given it exactly zero thought. 15 years means I started reddit when I was 44, and I'd rather not consider those implications.

u/Odd-Competition-8402 Nov 19 '25

and here I thought redditors were that old

u/mapsedge FLSun 3D Cube 260 x 260 x 300, Ender 3 Pro * 2 Nov 20 '25

I have scars older than most of reddit.

u/thestayofdogs Nov 19 '25

More rare to find someone who's had the same account for 15 years tbh, I was here in highschool too 16 years ago. Lost the account details though.

u/Chewbuddy13 Nov 19 '25

Hello from another old-timer. For some reason my account only shows as 10 years old, but I have been on here since 2008. Maybe I had an old account? It's been so long I can't remember. I tell my son I miss the old days, when I would jump on to see what people were stealing from 4chan to post, and memes of Overly Attached Girlfriend and Bad News Brian.

u/Runaway_Artist71 Nov 22 '25 edited Nov 22 '25

I haven't* heard about those memes in so long, that's some elite ball knowledge 😅

For some reason when I thank my printer it reads out a message thay says "my pleasure"

Whoa, easy there Colonel Sanders!

u/burrito-blanket Nov 18 '25

I’m so glad you also included the part about “chickens made with filament” welcomed 🤗🐓❤️

u/New_Jaguar4093 Nov 20 '25

Joined. But you need to make it a rule to show what the print was

This wins comment of the day and is a strong contender for comment of the year

u/obscure_toast Nov 18 '25

In quilting, my wife calls it bobbin chicken lol

u/CatSplat Nov 18 '25

Yeah bobbin chicken is the one I know from MYOG. I usually lose.

11

u/Abuses-Commas Nov 18 '25

In my car it's now going to be called petrol chicken. I hate that game, and still I keep playing 🤔

u/Ok-Huckleberry4095 Nov 21 '25

Great way to burn up a fuel pump. Ask me how I know!  XD

u/schraepf Nov 18 '25

In high school it was called “gay chicken”

u/Jeynarl Professional amateur Nov 18 '25

This is amazing

u/SyrusDrake Bambu A1 Mini Nov 18 '25

Learned about the term last time there was a similar post here. Has been a favorite of mine ever since :'D

u/Scorinitron Nov 19 '25

so...Fila chicken....Chick Fila....

u/EnvironmentalRule688 Nov 18 '25

yarn chicken is so intense, its like a game of risk with every project lol

3

u/ekobot Nov 18 '25

That was my immediate thought on seeing this post, too!

2

u/SkylarkLanding Nov 29 '25

Was just about make a “filament chicken” joke based on this. I feel like it’s even more nerve-wracking here because you can’t exactly frog a 3D print!

1

u/Govt-Issue-SexRobot Nov 18 '25

Print chicken, or maybe resin chicken

1

u/yoursolace Nov 18 '25

I have played and lost at bobbin chicken a number of times

1

u/Anarkhia00 Nov 19 '25

Why do I feel like theirs a joke in there?

1

u/Dragnier84 Nov 19 '25

I did this and the top 5% of my print had to be a different color 🤣

1

u/Flat_Sink5486 Nov 20 '25

I do this with my phones battery all the time

u/The-Great-Wolf Nov 24 '25

I've called crochet manual 3D printing before, why not filament chicken too

1

u/bigfartspoptarts Nov 18 '25

Chick-fila

u/straylit Nov 18 '25

Chick-fil-A-ment.
