#chicken or the egg right

[animentality]

laughing at this convo I had the other day

so my friends and I play a soccer game called omega strikers, and my one buddy and I play a mean forward duo.

and we always joke around about blue lock, because you know, it's soccer.

but legitimately. as players.

my buddy plays a very precise character, who locks down areas and is always trying to anticipate what the enemy team is going to do next. he's a barrier character who relies on positioning.

meanwhile, my character is a brute force DPS, who moves in straight lines and has all abilities related to doing damage and hitting the ball very hard, and at strange, unpredictable angles. she excels at being in the right place at the right time, and quickly.

and legitimately... we play like a metavision x predator eye duo, because he's always aware of where opponents are, and thinking about what they're going to do. he plays like a midfielder, basically, always locking down the midfield, or making sure I can make a goal. he's very aware of what's going on at all times.

literally has Metavision.

meanwhile, I could not explain to you how I do what I do, AT ALL, because it's literally pure instinct for me.

I just know where I need to be, and I let muscle memory tell me where to run to. I am focused on the ball at all times, and sometimes I straight up just do not see what is happening anywhere else.

He's always enabling me to make shots or helping me kill or damage other players, and I don't usually notice, I just know it works, right, like, it's actually kind of funny, because he'll be like, I totally stopped the goalie from stopping you, and I'll be like oh did you? Cool. I just tried to score, and I did. So thanks.

But anyway, we were talking about this, and we came to the fucking hilarious realization.

that he is the Sae to my Shidou.

like fr.

I cannot explain how to play my character at ALL, because it all just comes to me from experience and instinct. I just rush around to where my heart wants me to go. I brute force goals in. I am constantly trying to score, even if it is not advantageous to do so. I miss as many shots as I take, because I'm just so aggressive, that I want to be in the penalty box as much as possible.

Plus, my character (the only character I willingly play, like ever, seriously, I never ever swap off her unless she gets banned), straight up demolishes people with a nuke, and has abilities that let me get wicked nasty angles on people that make it very hard to predict what I'm going to do... very Shidou coded, essentially.

Meanwhile, he's my Sae because his character has less abilities related to actually forcing the ball into goal, but he has impeccable set up ability. He's got the midfield on lockdown, and he's always thinking ahead of opponents. And he's my enabler.

and we're in love.

jk (or am I)

Anyway, we had a good laugh over this, because he knows I'm obsessed with Shidou... and the fucking irony is that even in a soccer game... I'm emulating this bitch, or rather, we share one soul, one nature, one heart.

call me predator eye kai.

what’s a good supply of cheap protein that isn’t eggs

Tofu

Top it with black salt, it’ll taste damn close to eggs

Key with tofu is it absorbs what you put in it. So squeeze the water out and start adding whatever spices you like. Use broth to rehydrate it. Let it soak in and then cook with it.

Freezing firm tofu twice (freeze, defrost, freeze, defrost) can give you a “meaty” texture. I use it to make fried tofu bites, and I’ve had people not be able to tell its tofu.

just some ideas in a world that feels like it’s going mad

If Price and Nikolai found somewhere quiet to retire do you think they'd end up with any pets or animals. I don't know why but I kind of see Nikolai liking chickens? But maybe I'm crazy.

Fresh eggs tho 🤌

I'm very very weak for a happy ending with chickens and dogs and cats so I'd say hell yeah anon.

They could get a nice house in the countryside, with a huge garden, chickens, a dog, maybe more birds as well, I can see Nik being good with them for some reasons.

Price would enjoy gardening, grumble at the dog rolling in the mud, and then laugh when he has to wrestle a wet dog to wash it before it gets home.

The good life ✨

DB...my love my dear my sweet old lady.... you have not laid an egg in like two years why are you in the box

[devoted1989]

A key problem in modern egg production is the killing of male chicks. Shortly after hatching, they are sorted out and killed. They are perceived as uneconomical for the poultry industry. 

Worldwide, 7 billion male chicks die every year for purely economic reasons. Because they are worthless to the egg industry: roosters do not lay eggs like their sisters, the laying hens. They are therefore considered an undesirable by-product. But they do not grow fast enough for meat fattening. The extremely high-bred broilers are the benchmark here.

Hnub was being a vicious broody dinosaur the other day! Luckily she gave up pretty quickly, but she’s a fierce one!

Hello hello,

Been a bit busy round the homestead with the weather change, but being busy seems more common than not being busy lol

The month olds hot moved outside, to make way for the new chicks inside

Given everywheres been sold out consistently and that nature will do as nature does, we'll likely continue hatching out through the summer.

Onwards to the garden,

I uppoted these melons and some zuchinnis so they can get just a lil bit bigger before full transplant. Any extras I'm gonna try to sell this year for garden funds.

Very little growth on the tomato and pepper seeds, I had hoped I'd be lucky with the weather but I guess I'll have to wait on having either and hope the one si left to overwinter start producing soon.

Not much in the new strawberry bed. The peas are producing a decent snack amount now, so I'll need to figure a way to double the size of pea/bean areas.

Did some dye work on some pants. They went from olive green, blue and khaki to as black as I could. Also hemmed them for summer wear.

I used rit dye and idye poly. Currently I would recommend both. Idye poly took a looong time to run clear before I could give them a run in the washer, they 100% covered the thread and buttons the rit dye did not.

Their not dark enough for the wearer yet, so I'm on the hunt for another dye to try. If anyone has suggestion the fabric is cotton and I believe a polyblend of some sort for the thread.

Also we got a composter, as we are pretty certain the city's recycling/green program hasn't been back to normal since the virus closures reopened, and ive seen both barrels picked up by the same truck more than once since. While we can't do much on that (except call up, complain/explain and take action), we decided it was time to learn composting to close and lesson our waste stream more if we can.

On the bonus side, when its done we'll have fresh dirt for our garden which is always a win 🏆. The worst so far has been figuring out a good collection and take out system for the daily bits 😂.

In the kitchen,

Ive been saving every citrus peel i can (using a veggie peeler to make strips) and drying them out. Some ive used for tea, some for dry seasoning flavor (super excellent btw, I cannot believe i ever enjoyed the dusty stuff in the cheapo bottle.) And fresh in sauces. I'm also saving seeds to give a try at sprouting them. Figure why not, it's good practice 🌱

Alright, ive got to get my day started so I'm heading off.

🌱 🥕 Happy Gardening 🥕 🌱

I just wanted to post my chickens.

September 19, 2023.

My mom bought me these chickens in late 2022 at an auction. There were originally four and she got them for the extravagant price of $0.75 per bird. I didn’t have chickens or plan on getting chickens but if your mom buys them then you do what you have to do. So I took them home and threw together a coop.

They were very small at the time. Couldn’t tell if they were hens or Roos. But I ended up with three hens and a roo. No clue what breed they are and I don’t remember what they sold as either but they are a smaller type. They are quite docile and pretty good layers and if you look close you can see they have a topping of feathers on their head like a little pompadour. They are quite broody as well.

And I love love love this little rooster. Such a handsome boi and so sweet to his girls.

I’ve lost one of the hens and only have two so I wanted to breed them to continue the bloodline of chickens that my mother got me. So I did some incubating and though I didn’t plan it I got one hatched ON MY BIRTHDAY!

Behold my poofy headed Birthday Chicken. And it turned out to be a hen! The fact that she is tan rather than snowy white is slightly disappointing but it is what it is.

I plan to breed her to an Ayam Cemani rooster to see what happens.

If any cool chicken peeps see this and have any ideas on what the parent birds are I’d love to hear them! I haven’t had any luck getting an ID on them.

Here's the incubator I have had the most success with:

Do you eat peahen eggs? If yes, what do they taste like?

My wife raises geese and their eggs are huge, 3x the size of a hen’s eggs, and are generally fluffier and delicately sweeter.

I do! They taste like an egg.

I'm not allowed to answer anything more, apparently

Every year the egg industry kills 7 billion male chicks because they can’t lay eggs.
