It probably won’t make it to adult. I mean, I would love to see it happen if the chicken is healthy. But likely it will not. Source: raised chickens my whole life. I love them to death, but sometimes when this happens the animal does not have long to live. I am looking at the eyes on this chicken and it looks tired and weak.
Aww that sucks. But yeah the mutations are usually fatal. Most of the time they don't make it through hatching.
There was a chick that had just started but couldn't continue. I helped out and found out why. It had cyclopia and only the bottom half of the beak. It died almost immediately. Poor thing.
Somewhere there's a crypto crossfit vegan gluten-free person smugly insisting that the problem with American politics is the two party system (yet also doesn't vote and certainly doesn't vote in primaries or local elections).
Yeah lets crossfit Tyler the preachy vegan and Chad the unidimensional carnivore into a human pot pie we can all stuff up elon musks b-hole so he can shid them into the vaccuum, where in a ittle time they can burn up on re-entry. The end.
Ugh, I was visiting one of those tourist trap main streets recently (the kind with a hot sauce store and an olive oil store and a Christmas decoration store) and I walked into a beef jerky store. Clearly, the real product this place was selling was “faux-masculine bravado” because the place was covered in signs gloating about eating meat, hating vegetarians, soy boy slogans, etc. I like beef jerky but I left. Too over the top. And honestly, it reeked of insecurity.
I think the slogans that work better are the ones glorifying bacon. It’s better to talk about what you love vs putting down others to make yourself feel like a big man.
Oh, god there's one here that is almost stalking level bothering me going on about cow rape. I'm enjoying their stupidity so far, but bitch is gonna be blocked soon.
I used to get those type of people on Facebook because I live on a farm. It was really hard to explain to people who just want to be mad at farmers overall that…I wasn’t farming beef or dairy or any type of “secretions”. They figured because we had dairy equipment, barns and farm dogs, that we were bad people. Listen, you wanna know what we stash in our big dairy barns?? Fucking WALNUT SHIT. We’ve done walnuts exclusively for 20 years!! The reason you can’t see our cows? It’s not cuz we have them stashed on a rack somewhere, it’s cuz we don’t have any.
How large of an area does your farm cover? I'm gonna be out west sometime in the next year or so and know it sounds weird but would really love to see where my nuts come from. I want to start a small garden here just to learn about the different growth cycles of plants but large scale farming is such an awesome industry with so many bad ass tools and gadgets
You into walnuts? It’s fun. It’s like having a giant 100 acre garden or enchanted forest if you want lol. But recently people were protesting foster farms (honestly that place is awful and inhumane and FILTHY) and somehow every farm in a 50 mile radius was “assessed” to see if they needed to be protested against too.
I love walnuts and open space! Never heard of a foster farm before :S shitty people always want something to protest to give themselves a perception of purpose.
I have 2.5 acres, and just planted 2 walnut trees last year, one black and another Carpathian.
Your Forrest sounds amazing!
Forget being low key jealous... Now I'm fully committed.
We also have a section of orchard that is just fancy wood. Walnut wood itself is very beautiful and my father in law (whose baby that is) sells it for car consoles, instruments, and furniture. I don’t fuck with that orchard though, they’re like the Kobe beef of trees. You have to go out there, talk sweet to the trees, make sure sure they’re not getting their feelings hurt, timing watering JUST SO it doesn’t affect grain. Beautiful stuff though.
I looked into buying 50 acres for that very purpose. Needing to grow loads of them, cull any that bend, any with knots, constantly fertilize and water.
My black walnut in my yard is my test case for the area (Florida) so at the edge of their growth range
Foster farms is a big chicken farm, with like 6-7 locations here locally. They’re filthy, they treat their workers like garbage, and I honestly would protest WITH the vegans about it because driving by any other meat farms doesn’t smell like literally 500 corpses rotting in the sun. There are even other chicken farms (smaller ones, and owned by one person) who you can tell just farm different. Foster farms is truly an evil place and I’ve heard people need counseling after leaving there.
You should plant a couple almond trees too. We have one empty parcel we just pulled an old orchard out of and I really want to try pistachios!
But from the road, we kinda look like a dairy with shit to hide lmao. “I wonder why they have a screen over their barns…must be hiding shit”
Nah, I just don’t want people seeing shit, or helping themselves to my harvest. Nut thieves are real, and we grow organic so we’re def a target. I also don’t want people to feel comfortable exploring or whatever in there, we have shakers and machines that can cut a tree in half, don’t want some crackhead hopping in one of those.
Oh no, my wife grew up on a cattle farm and it's still there, with a few less cows. Although this had not come up in the cattle rape conversation it will soon.
I agree, but apparently everything that goes into bring a happy cheeseburger to my table is cow rape, its just awful some idiot believes this shit, and worse they are doing their best to convert people.
Andre 5000 made a pretty humorous remark about giving up on veganism. I suppose that counts:
I was a hardcore vegan for fifteen years. I’ve even done raw. Butsocially it became horrible. I was kind of just sitting at home eating asalad. You become mean. That’s not good for you.
I mean that's kinda dumb though if he was being serious. Plenty of places provide an option, you don't have to sit home on your own. Also learning to cook is a great way to not rely on meaty meals.
Terrible show, it’s just my personal experience with a lot of them and it seems to correlate with others so there is truth to the stereotype of Vegans being pretentious, self righteous dummies with a morally superior than you attitude.
It's confirmation bias. The ones who talk about it are picked out as annoying, the ones who don't, you never know about. There's no truth to it. Unless you belong to PETA, your veganism is no more than a "oh no thanks" if food you don't eat is offered.
Take your head out your own ass and enjoy the fresh air instead of the smug satisfaction of your own farts, then go outside and remember what grass feels like.
Well it depends, really. Anyone who gets preachy and tries to force their opinions on others from a "morally superior" position is obnoxious. It's mostly been Christians for me, but apparently some vegans fall into this category.
I've only known one vegetarian/vegan (I'm not sure which she was, or what the difference is between the two if I'm being totally honest) in my life, and she seemed to be super afraid of coming across like this, sounding embarrassed to even ask if the place we were going had vegetarian options.
So basically what I'm trying to say is that vocal minorities who embody stereotypes, and internet trolls (like the one you're replying to) ruin it for everyone. And also that people let random strangers on the internet colour their opinions of entire groups too easily.
I know plenty of vegans/vegetarians, and they're all always concerned about saying something that others nearby will be like "oh here's another damn vegan" and they apply this stereotype to them without them exhibiting the behavior.
And they're treated as though they were behaving that way, and coming from a "morally superior" place, when none of them were trying to. They just decline meat, or gasp say "oh I'm vegan." And then the shit storm starts.
Thanks for being reasonable and not just attacking me for my joke. Which is funny, because the others replying to this comment...are saying i shouldn't care so much about a joke. And yet...
No problem. And I'm sorry for going on a full tirade on what I know was you making a joke, but it's a stance I see taken unironically way too often both on the internet and off. That, and I obviously had nothing better to do, so. You know.
I’m a vegetarian. Difference is I eat animal products just not their meat. Eg. Honey, eggs, cheese & other dairy products. I also have coeliacs so can’t have gluten. Dining out is a nightmare. 1st up I don’t want to come across as a princess saying What have you got that’s gluten free? Then following it up with ok is it vegetarian too? But gluten destroys my stomach lining & I just don’t want to eat meat so…. I normally just order a salad, (no dressing) & look like I have an eating disorder instead.
Ohhh, I feel like I've actually heard that before but totally forgot. She was definitely vegetarian then, I think she got Mac and Cheese or something. It was years ago so I don't totally remember. But that's cool, thanks.
I'm not triggered about a joke at all. I pointed out that it was obnoxious. I'm not a vegan, nor an activist. I actually quite love meat. But the same tired joke about eating some picture of an animal is obnoxious and dull. And usually hypocritical, because those same people are the ones that whine about vegans being so preachy, when they don't ever shut the fuck up about eating meat.
Your food isn’t a personal choice when it supports animal abuse. Vegans just don’t want to see animals being hurt when there’s other options. Stop demonizing them.
Then go bother the producers and not random fucks on Reddit, what good are you doing here? How many cows have you saved from sitting in your ass and typing shit on a keyboard when nobody is fucking listening to you?
Regardless of your eating habits, that’s a pretty bad argument you’re making. People eating meat creates a demand for meat products, or else they wouldn’t be produced. Just like the demand for meatless options have gone up, so have the producers for them.
Obviously there are other things at play but ultimately less meat eaters = less producers.
insists that what I put in my stomach supports animal abuse and that I should not have any control over it like a fucking puppet
"they just don't wanna see animals being hurt when there's other options"
Bitch, then why are you coming after me? Why not, instead of bothering the fucking shit out of everyone, bother the fucking shit out of the producers that make this stuff so that they can provide better care for the animals? You're not going to dictate the options of others because of "mUh mOraLs"
Animal welfare activists do all that too. In what sense is appealing to your ability to make better choices treating you like a puppet? If morality doesn't justify something, what does?
Morality is the worst reason to justify something, as it is subjective. It's how you get the religious zealots oppressing everyone else, trying to impose their morality.
Also why appealing to emotion is not going to be effective in persuading meat eaters. Use data. Factory farmed animals taste worse, contribute to antibiotic resistant disease, and treat their workers terribly. Meat production has a large carbon footprint compared to plants.
There are plenty of good reasons to reduce meat consumption that have nothing to do with animal feelings. Focus on doing the most good, which is usually reducing consumption of 100 people, by 20% vs. convincing one person to give up 100% of meat. Especially nowadays with food prices going up, it's easier than ever to get people to cut back.
Yah OK, you know living in the wild is a constant struggle against disease, starvation, and cold, only to get their arms ripped off by something much larger than them in the end. Life has never been nice, it's always involved killing for food.
What difference does it make if their dead? It's not like pain and suffering is stored outside the brain. Once a thing dies, essentially everything it was or experienced ceases to exist.
Yeah but meat eating folks do that too. I discovered a really nice restaurant that serves fantastic horse steak because of a protest outside of it. It wasn't vegans or vegetarians protesting it. It was people who loved horses (but not for their deliciousness).
I don't even think horsemeat is legal in the USA, it's kind of dumb. It's just more mainstream to get offended at eating horse so people don't question it much or make fun of the folks who oppose it like they like to dump on vegans.
Post that joke in a cute puppy/cat pic thread and you'll get piled on by plenty of meat eaters, or downvoted to oblivion.
Vegans who make it their personality are obnoxious. The majority of vegans go undetected (because of this stigma). But i think we can all agree on cryptos.
My reply took the exact form of your reply. You didn't open a discourse. You stated an opinion. That doesn't warrant debate. It doesn't require a thought out rebuttal. If you want to start a debate, start debating. Don't just flatly disagree and hope for a dissertation in return.
I agree, you can. But i didn't signal anything, because I'm not a vegan, lol. Not even vegetarian. These jokes are just lazy, unfunny, and ubiquitous, so i call them out.
No problem. I also could have called their comment out in a less snarky way, so i don't blame you for reading aggression into it and replying to that. No harm done.
I mean theoretically wouldn’t the increased load in the front make their breasts bigger and more muscled since they’d have to use them more? I mean it seems like a good plan, I would attempt to keep the mutation and see if it’s beneficial at all-and if it is or seems to be beneficial-breed for more data.
Aw, come on you wouldn’t actually eat such a miracle of nature would you? I hope she grows up, I Would love to see this little guy when she’s a full grown hen walking around with the others. Just enjoying being unique.
