Where were you and your infographic when there were lives to save?
Least confusing diagram
addendum if someone hits you with the "I meant CHICKEN egg."
Evolution so works that the first chicken must've been born as a mutation from an egg laid by the closest degree to a chicken that was not a chicken - so it's still "egg"
Plot twist: and they were both wrong. Birds aren't real.
Was it the stabber or the stabee who picked egg?
Egg is clearly the right answer
Well, I'm not sure about that buddy
Hold on, let me go grab something from my house real quick.
I bet he’s bringing a cake
Oh boy I can’t wait to have cake
Eggs of other animals came before the chicken.
But let's only consider the chicken egg for argument's sake. The chicken is a product of evolution. At some point in its lineage, there's a chicken ancestor that was not considered a chicken that had a chicken child that is considered a chicken.
It is hard to define this precise line, but we do know that the line is a genetic difference. Genetic variations would happen in the chicken -> egg process, not the egg -> chicken process.
That is to say, a non-chicken could lay a chicken egg because of a genetic variation in the fertilization process. But a non-chicken egg cannot hatch a chicken because there is no genetic variation between the final state of the egg and the chicken that is hatched.
Q.E.D.
I will not literally die on this hill, please do not stab me. I will agree that the chicken came first if you come at me with a knife or other weapon.
I am not a birdologist, but I think the chicken came first.
The Non-Chicken Ancestor lays NCA eggs. The eggs begin as a cell of the NCA, and will be laid regardless of if they are fertilized. However, if the egg becomes fertilized, then it would be possible that a chicken matures within an NCA egg.
If Susan lays an egg and Geoffrey hatches from the egg, would you consider it to be Susan's egg or Geoffrey's egg? I believe it to be Susan's egg because possession is nine tenths of bird law and she clearly possesses the egg while nesting.
Wouldn't you first have to identify the animal as a chicken? You can't do that when it is still just an egg. You first need to see it grow up and then you can say that it's a chicken. And that process could be influenced by developmental and environmental factors. That type of egg might have been laid many times, and yet no chicken came out. Only when a specific factor was introduced during its development was it triggered into being a chicken.
Ohh - I see those Egg Council creeps got to you too, huh?
One man died and we still don't have the answer?!?!
I bet the perpetrator was one if those hardcore chickenists - they're all easily egged on.
Well, eggs can't cum, so I'm gonna say the chicken came first. It's simple science, duh.
I mean eggs are there from the moment the chicken is born while semen is only made short term so I’d argue the egg came first
And now I am thinking about chicken cum...
At some point there was just enough evolution to start calling it a chicken, this would have happened for one lucky egg
Quite an interesting news nugget.
For srs though, alcohol is behind most crimes.
Just sayin’.
