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

(Me living in a 900 sqft rental with three kids... ) hmmm I can raise chickens.

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 needs to be posted as a top level comment.

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.

A fuck ton is the mass equivalent of a thousand kilofucks. Traditionally, a fuck is supposed to be 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.

Even less if they flap their wings
