They'd be like chicken eggs but proportional to your size. It just happens regardless of if you're planning to eat them or not. Taste would be very similar to chicken eggs.

Nah, doesn't matter what your views are that's a form of cannibalism.

[-] wittymcusername@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] Ageroth@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago

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

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.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 4 points 5 hours ago

They call it gross because it's a kink, not because it's actually gross

[-] Hanrahan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

well, chickens do, so sure.. why not?

On somethingawful you could pay to have other accounts suspended, we need this.

[-] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

It would feel like an offense to the purpose of eating

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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.

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 11 points 15 hours ago

Do you eat your own cum now?

[-] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 15 hours ago

Occasionally ❤️

We could make our own custard like the platypus

I hope lemmy/piefed Mercator this feature.

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

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Damn, Frank. That's a hell of an egg you're laying. Kudos.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 40 points 1 day ago

Women’s Health magazines be like:

“Skip eating your egg to lose up to 5lbs a week!”

No.

If someone did id think them a MINGER!

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 20 hours ago

It would be nice to have something come out of my butt that tasted good. 🤔

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Pretty sure it would be something coming out of your cloaca that tasted good. About time.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 37 points 1 day ago

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

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

You're bringing me back to seeing my cat give birth as a child. Aghast doesn't cover it. It was good learning though.

[-] MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

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.

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club 7 points 20 hours ago

If you're letting your mini mes live you could just keep 5 or so trapped and steal their eggs for dinner.

[-] MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

You're hired!

Boys, meet the new Strategic Advisor of the Ascendant Imperial Grand Alliance.

[-] farmgineer@nord.pub 3 points 17 hours ago

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.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

You could freeze it for meal prep.

[-] farmgineer@nord.pub 1 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 27 points 1 day ago

A large egg coming out of my ass? I'm not sure I would enjoy this.

[-] datavoid@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago

You mean you haven't tried Bad Dragon's ovipositor collection yet?

No. The net nutritional gain would be zero plus I hate eggs generally

[-] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 15 hours ago

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.
