Nah, doesn't matter what your views are that's a form of cannibalism.
I scrolled through the threat real quick and saw this compared to both cum and breast milk. But that’s not what this is. Eggs are what’s left over after the chicken doesn’t get pregnant. They are effectively a menstrual product. So instead of semen or milk, you should be asking yourself if you consume period blood.
Hmm.. so the white is like the amniotic fluid and the yolk is a placenta...
Honestly if it came out as a nicely packaged chunk of nutrient dense meat in protein water I could see a world where they were a delicacy
Please never post again
People drink milk that they have to steal from another species but if you tell someone that you tried breast milk from a human, you are called weird or gross. I personally wouldn't try it, but i find cow or whatever milk so much worse.
They call it gross because it's a kink, not because it's actually gross
well, chickens do, so sure.. why not?
How do I delete someone else’s Lemmy account?
On somethingawful you could pay to have other accounts suspended, we need this.
It would feel like an offense to the purpose of eating
It's hard to picture, as a real human who grew up eating eggs and not laying them. Since the human race has always faced the threat of starvation, I expect the cultural norm would have developed a long time ago that eating your own eggs is perfectly natural and normal. A taboo against eating them would be a serious disadvantage during a famine. We would grow up with many cultural influences about the eggs. Religious texts like the bible would no doubt make moral pronouncements many people would follow without question. It might even be a political issue.
Do you eat your own cum now?
Occasionally ❤️
We could make our own custard like the platypus
We should have monthly votes on this.
I hope lemmy/piefed Mercator this feature.
Probably
Proportional to size.... I'm ~36x the mass of a chicken (2.5/90 kg), so my eggs would be something like 2 .3 kg per egg. If the shell was 8% of the mass, it's a LOT of egg holy crap.
Um idk, I guess I would be pretty hungry if I laid a giant egg every day
Damn, Frank. That's a hell of an egg you're laying. Kudos.
Women’s Health magazines be like:
“Skip eating your egg to lose up to 5lbs a week!”
Within the very same magazine "top 20 health benefits of eating your own egg"
5 simple recipes to make your egg more palatable!
No.
If someone did id think them a MINGER!
It would be nice to have something come out of my butt that tasted good. 🤔
Pretty sure it would be something coming out of your cloaca that tasted good. About time.
I mean chickens (and other egg laying animals) will eat their own eggs to recuperate the energy, so it certainly seems like the smart thing to do :3. I mean an egg of that size every day would really require you to increase intake of both calories and various minerals
Putting egg shells into chicken feed is a good way to recycle that calcium. But you gotta crush them first cause chickens are stupid as hell and if they learn that their eggs are edible they'll just eat them right away.
Yep! :3
We give our egg shells to the lady we buy our eggs from lol, so I have partaken in that sort of calcium recycling scheme
If I'm not reproducing I need to re-absorb all that protein somehow. There's a reason so many mammals eat the afterbirth aka the placenta.
You're bringing me back to seeing my cat give birth as a child. Aghast doesn't cover it. It was good learning though.
Eat the eggs...? That seems like a waste. I mean, sure, for an occasional snack but I'd wait until the mini-me hatched and have a succulent meal later. If you're laying one every day and were patient you could feed an army. Which I would have because I'd only eat every other off-spring and the others would be the foundation of the new Imperial order.
If you're letting your mini mes live you could just keep 5 or so trapped and steal their eggs for dinner.
You're hired!
Boys, meet the new Strategic Advisor of the Ascendant Imperial Grand Alliance.
From purely the practical perspective, no. There aren't really times where I need that much egg for anything once scaled up to my size.
You could freeze it for meal prep.
Eggs don't freeze so well. Freeze driers are stupidly expensive. Pickling is an option but not so practical since they need to be pickled whole and so much material.
A large egg coming out of my ass? I'm not sure I would enjoy this.
You mean you haven't tried Bad Dragon's ovipositor collection yet?
don't knock it until you tried it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How about this?

No. The net nutritional gain would be zero plus I hate eggs generally
I mean, hating eggs is valid, but as far as the nutritional "gain" goes, if you don't eat them, you're going net negative, and would have to eat something else anyways.
Do women drink their own milk? No?
Hmmm ~~No?~~ Sometimes
Why sometimes?
