That series of tweets (I think) reminds me of the Your Brain on Dugs ad where the eggs end up being smashed.

Maybe we could bring it back, your head on MAGA.

I haven't researched, but I don't think they ever smashed the eggs in those ads, just super-fried them. It may have been done in a parody, or just be a Mandela Effect. Or I could be completely wrong.
 
I made some of those brown eggs today. No taste difference. But they were harder to open. I tried my usual one-hand technique but it didn't work. The shell separated easily from the inner very strong membrane, which I had to poke and open. And the shell cracked into much smaller shards causing several small chips to get into the bowl. (I haven't ever had to crack into a separate bowl before, but I might do it for the rest of these.)

You made eggs? Self sufficient now! Good way to bypass the stores, chickens, etc.
 
I wonder how expensive it is to raise a few chickens to lay eggs? I'm thinking it is not the "solution" that The Regime says it is.
 
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on the "silver lining" of egg shortages: "People are kinda looking around thinking, 'Wow, maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard!' And it's awesome."

Everyone wants to raise chickens until it's time to do chicken-raising things. No, I am not knocking the idea. My grandfather was born in 1891, and raised chickens wherever he lived up until the late 1940s when US food industrialization made it impractical, and at the time, more expensive than dropping by the grocery store butcher shop. As long as people are willing to do ALL the work required with chicken husbandry I see no problem...unless the neighbor gets a rooster...
 
We had chickens when I was a kid, well my grandad did. He had a few pifs as well but my dads side of the family were part time farmers and ironstone miners.

My two great uncles and great grandad worked a few days a week as a "2+1" team at Morrisons Mine and the rest of the time they farmed. When it was busy on the farm they worked less shifts in the mine.

My Grandad was a blacksmith. The farm was sold when Great Aunt Mary died, it wasn't huge, just an overgrown 'smallholding'.
My grandad kept his hand in with pigs and chickens.
 
Friends of mine tried to raise chickens in their NJ backyard. It went well, but it would not have worked if the wife was doing only part-time working from home to give her the time to raise them. She also had two kids in their tweens who could help out.

A fox ate all their chickens.
 
Definitely the best solution for an epidemic that strikes birds and crosses to humans is to increase the population of birds, spread them widely throughout the country, and put humans in close contact with them. What could possibly go wrong?

Plenty of space on Trump's golf courses. Just sayin'...

The courses respond by spraying methyl anthranilate bird repellent, which also happens to be the artificial grape flavor used in candy and soft drinks. Trump smells it, thinks there's junk food on the course, waddles out there, and gets run over by a groundskeeping vehicle.
