Life pro tip: save this gif. It’s great to use in situations like “good morning” or “can chicken legally carry coffee?”

As someone with over 50, and hatching more this week, no it isn’t.
Well, it isn’t when you have 14 acres…

It’s fun until you wind up with a rooster that has made it his life’s mission attacking you. Those spurs fucking hurt.

(Me living in a 900 sqft rental with three kids… ) hmmm I can raise chickens.
sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I had 30 hens as a kid. No rooster. It took some daily upkeep for sure but it wasn’t that much work. They laid well and I made decent money at it.

This still plays in my head on at least a weekly basis. Often randomly but mostly every time I see a large group of any kind of bird.

How much does a fuck ton actually weight? Is it more or less than a regular ton? Or is it a ton of fucks? How does one even gather a ton of fucks? Are fucks stackable like in a pallet? Do all fucks weigh the same?
So many questions.
luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
A fuck ton is a thousand kilofucks. Traditionally, a fuck is supposed to be the mass equivalent of the chemical and potential energy expended by an individual during an act of intercourse. The origin of “giving a fuck” is thus the figurative expense of mental energy afforded to a topic. Since the definitions and intensity of intercourse vary so wildly, the exact amount of investment a given person may associate with it is highly individual.
Several efforts were started to determine and define a standard fuck. To date, none of these have concluded, as the involved scientists are still exploring all the different forms of kinks and constellations to gather representative samples. Critical voices have suggested that these studies are being intentionally dragged out for personal benefit.
This is further hamstrung by various external influences attempting to limit or expand the definitions of intercourse. For instance, some groups are attempting to pressure researcher teams and their funding institutions into excluding all intercourse not performed by a heterosexual, wedded couple for the purpose of procreation. Others have campaigned for relaxing or abolishing the standards of consent, but Ethics Boards have largely blocked such efforts, most of them also forbidding the inclusion of data offered by proponents.
As for physical representations of that mass equivalent, there is plainly no consensus. Some of the suggestions decay too quickly to be useful, while others have been hard to use. There’s just no realistic way to make any given solution fit all applications.
In short, the topic is highly contentious still.
Fun to research though.

That’s like 100# of chicken they definitely don’t weigh that much

Even less if they flap their wings

Reminds me of the time I forgot to remove a pocket knife from my keys before going through airport security…
Staff member holds it up, I notice it and am like “oh no, that’s not allowed, right? oh well, then throw it away, I forgot about it…” - staff proceeds to measure the blade length and tell me “no, it’s ok, that’s allowed” and hands it back to me. I still have that pocket knife now, but don’t intend to try that again.

I have this thing called a utili-key, which is a 6-in-1 multitool that folds up into the shape of a key. I’ve flown with it numerous times, TSA never even had a clue it was on my keyring. I went to one fucking Philadelphia 76ers game and they confiscated it. Perfectly encapsulates TSA.
OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
The TSA was once tested by sending 100 people through with guns, knives, and simulated explosives.
95 of them got through the TSA security checks with no problems.
Damn fuckers are so busy fondling balls and looking for shampoo bottles, they’ve forgotten what they’re actually supposed to be doing there.
Oh, and another fun fact: The TSA has never once stopped an actual terrorist. There have been several terrorist attacks attempted since then which were caught and stopped, but they were all caught and stopped by other airport or airline staff, or by other passengers. The TSA didn’t catch a single one, not even one in their entire history as an organization.

If AI is so great and TSA so necessary why haven’t they replaced TSA with AI yet?

Because you need a place to stick all the assholes with a control complex that didn’t even cut it by police standards.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Chickens. Fine. In my experience most people with chickens also have a rooster. If you own a rooster and live in close proximity to anyone, you’re an asshole.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
As someone with a chicken, rooster, guinea fowl, and a turkey. The rooster is necessary for hawk and eagle related reasons, turkey sure as shit isn’t gonna do anything and the guinea are bitches.
acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 weeks ago
No one is questioning the need for roosts, but if you keep a roost in an urban environment, you’re an asshole.

maybe a few geese? (from what I’ve read)

Friends of my wife have chickens they raised from chicks. Only it’s very hard to sex chicks and three of them grew up to be roosters. They eventually found someone out in the deep countryside who was willing to take them in as pets instead of chicken dinners. Until that time (which took nearly a year), they relied on anti-crow collars they found on Amazon - which seemed to half-strangle the roosters but didn’t do much to discourage noise.
My wife hates that I still refer to them as the rooster gimps.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Same can be said for anyone with a outside dog.
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah that shits way louder than a rooster.
I usually just tune it out though. My neighbor has a loud dog that always barks when I go in my back yard lol. It’s my yard bitch
luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Had a neighbour who generally wasn’t fit for pets. Whoever gave her a first dog to live in her tuna can of a smoker’s apartment ought to be sued for cruelty. Whoever gave her a second one should be forced to live with the lot.
One or her dogs didn’t get along with the other. No clue why or what she tried, but I’m inclined to assume “nothing” and it sure didn’t work. Poor thing got locked out on the balcony instead. Whole neighbourhood got to hear his persistent cries of dismay. You’d think he’d accept his fate, but no, he’d bark hours on end. The hag had the nerve to be pissed at noise complaints too. Don’t recall if he was taken from her, but I think it stopped eventually.
modus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Many cities and suburbs only allow hens.
AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yep. This was a neighbor’s rooster until their dog got off his leash and ate him.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Then you have to ask what other animals are allowed? I could do with borrowing a goat to mow the grass in my garden and clear up the weeds around my allotment.
Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Or a cute sheep :D
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Sorry. City ordinance only allows ugly sheep.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Pretty sure goats are more useful for eating weeds compared to sheep who are too fussy to eat things like brambles.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
There’s a guy in my town who keeps a herd of goats and rents them out for brush clearance. I assume his neighbors hate it but there seems to be nothing they can do about it. I’ve been meaning to ask him if he sells goat meat.
Kenny2999@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Next step is to buy 25 roosters and thick bedroom windows.
brem@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Extra points for guinea fowl. (They are EXTRA loud)
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We had turkeys for a bit, and one of them we named Thanksgiving because holy fuck it would NEVER SHUT THE FUCK UP! It would just scream into the void all day.
WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
My town allows chickens but doesn’t allow roosters in city limits, and I assume most towns are that way so I would be cautious there
brem@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Exactly.
Nothing is stopping me from calling my neighbours & telling them that I think their goat is in my garden.
No matter how many times they tell me they don’t have a goat, there’s no proof that I can’t assume whatever goat that’s in my garden isn’t theirs regardless of status or reality of said goat or garden.
Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
L about to have 25 roosters.
brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
My city doesn’t allow roosters =(
That being said, I hear one every morning and won’t tell because:
- Momma ain’t raised no snitch
- I like chickens =)
Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Interesting, so there’s no way to like produce Chicken continually legally.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A couple of my neighbors have chickens here in suburbia, and there’s at least one rooster around. I don’t complain because I’m old and up at dawn anyway.
Much better than my neighbor’s dog that barked at me viciously whenever I went in my backyard. Call me whatever you want, but I’m glad that dog finally died.
Poop@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I have a couple of neighborhood dogs that I wish death upon. The reality is that I hate the people more for not doing something about it. Both the dog and owner are ruining a peaceful day, so you can’t feel too bad.
RBWells@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I love the city chickens. Bok bok!
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have lived next door to chickens, which is fine, but roosters? Those fuckers start screaming at 4 a.m., no joke. It’s a lot louder than you imagine.
So, if your rooster turns up dead, you have been warned
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No one wants a rooster anyways. They suck lol
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I disagree, and my rooster is an asshole.
They serve multiple purposes, and can be good company.
My rooster? Saved the hens multiple times. Literally broke a spur off in a dog’s ass. A pit bull at that. Ran that bitch off, and that’s after losing said spur, handfuls of feathers, and dripping blood of his own.
Before that series of attacks by the dog, he was chill as fuck. He’d just follow me around, picking things up and putting them down so everyone would know it was there. Sometimes, he’d be in the mood and jump up to be held. He’d come inside sometimes and just sit on my kid’s lap getting petted.
It’s why, despite him having gone full asshole after we lost hens, I still want him around. I’m hoping my current program will get him back to his old self. But even if he doesn’t, I want him.
Every now and then, that old self peeks through, and we have little moments of mutual respect and affection, and it’s awesome.
He’s not the loving companion my hen is, that’s not how roosters roll usually. But he was my buddy, and I hope we will be again.

In the Philippines roosters are permanently broken and mostly roost at night including in the middle of Manila because the use them for fighting.

The downside of living in the city with chickens is the smell and noise, but the chickens will just have to get used to it. ~ paraphrasing Sir Terry Pratchett.
