    I raise chickens. I adore the little critters, but if they were 20’ high they would gleefully destroy us all. Their personality is like a cat on meth.

      I just said that last night after watching our pet hen pounce on and demolish a peanut like it was going to murder her in her sleep.

      She’s brutal lol.

          Oh, her and the rooster have wrecked mice. We’re on the edge of town, right next to farmland, so we get mice coming through regularly. It’s pretty common to find little shreds of fur and bone when they’re particularly predatory.

          Hell, the cats we had over the years weren’t as vicious as these birds.

      I think their personalities are pretty varied.

      The modern breeds like isa brown or i-line are nutters. Like they’re not all there. The heritage breeds can be very… companionable.

      Yeah, every time I see this meme, every person who’s ever owned chickens immediately chimes in with some version of “Believe me, they know.” Because the little buggers really do.

    My takeaway from this is that T-Rex probably tasted delicious when breaded and deep fried.

      Their tiny t-rex arms were probably the chicken wings of their time. Forbidden wings…🤤

        Which part(s) of the t-rex do the nuggets come from?

      I can’t remember what they are but I’m certain there are reasons we prefer to eat herbivores generally.

        From a farming perspective, herbavores require less input to raise.

        Hypothetical example: to raise one herbivore you need an input of 3 grains. If your carnivore requires more than one herbivore’s worth of input you’re looking at needing more grain, plus having to rear the herbivore(s).

        I don’t know if there are flavor implications between the two and if those differences would decrease if both were farmed.

          I think you’re right.

          I was thinking more like in ocean food chains, where mercury accumulates as you move further up the food chain.

          … but in the hunter gatherer sense, of course we eat more ibex or buffalo than we do lion or cougar, because there are quite simply far fewer of the latter wandering around on the plains. Which is pretty much what you said just arranged in a different way.

    Why does that T-Rex look like it’s from the Hellraiser dimension?
