'Bessie' is a preposterous name for a chicken.

[-] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I always thought Bessie was a cows name lol

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

Who says cows can’t lay eggs?

And don’t say “literally everyone”, that’s a cop out answer

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Actually I would say literally no one. I don't think it's ever come up before just now. Just so you're aware though, those things the cows are "laying" out in the pasture are definitely not eggs

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Well well well. Check mate, atheists!

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure Abraham Lincoln said that

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

That's why he got shot

Be me: has chickens

Also me: is a surburbanite

Is it weird to say that your chicken looks straight gangsta? Like I'd invite that chicken to my smoke circle

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not at all, she seriously is. She will steal your lit cigarette or joint and run off with it. Look at this chook, she’ll cut a bitch.

It was 42°C out so I had them inside to cool off.

Edit: Also, that is my smoke circle in the first pic haha

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Love it! You seem like good people, take a cool person puff for me today ✌️👍

I think birds are just kind of smug and self assured in general.

God I wish. I live in an American city, so it's too dangerous to walk along the 4 lane stroad to get to the grocery store a block away

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Unironically agreed. Suburbs suck and apparently they're also bad for the environment.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Imagine being able to walk or cycle to a store in a few minutes while also not being in some dense urban hellscape 🇳🇱🇪🇺. Hopefully the US will learn to build better cities someday.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

while also not being in some dense urban hellscape 🇳🇱🇪🇺

Fun fact: Although Amsterdam (~5,000/km^2^) fails to match the population density of New York City (~11,000/km^2^), similarly-human-scale Paris manages to almost double it (~20,000/km^2^) despite not having skyscrapers. Because of things like progressive setbacks and the need to build parking decks to comply with minimum parking requirements, NYC-style skyscrapers really don't buy you as much extra living space as you might think, compared to mid-rise apartment buildings that can use the entire city block curb-to-curb.

The suburbanite sounds like she had a lot of other issues besides just owning a car lol

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Some of those other issues stem from being a suburbanite. No social interactions, no casual exercise by walking more than the length of their driveway, no easy access to either cultural institutions nor quality green spaces, etc.

why did u assume the suburbanite’s gender lol

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sorry, I'll fix it... The suburbanite sounds like he, she, and/or they may unfortunately have a lot of other non-normative and potentially problematic life journeys going on besides just owning a car. Perhaps we should educate them by exchanging platitudes about living our best life?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Oh c'mon you know it was a classic Karen. Stop with this ridicule over everyone using common sense intuition.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Suburbanite: Child, go open the instacart app on my phone and have some eggs delivered by an underpaid driver for $35.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Fuck suburbs, probably the one thing rural and urban people can agree on.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Yep, it's their fault for living in a food desert and not the fault of the corporations that made it a food dessert 👍👍👍

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Food deserts are mostly not the fault of corporations; they're the fault of zoning. Some of that blame admittedly rests on misguided (to say the least) modernist urban planners back in the '30s, but most of it rests squarely on the shoulders of NIMBYs.

When the store is 100 mile/160 kilometer round trip, you either figure out a substitute or do without. And if you don't know what else to use, your favorite search engine is only seconds away from helping you with your problem. It ain't rocket surgery.

Bessie the chicken huh

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

if i'm feeling restless i'll just bike 20 minutes to the local egg farm and buy the eggs directly from their little unmanned shop, for a hilariously low price.

i have a lot of complaints about sweden but god damn stuff like this is nice

For the vast majority of my suburban life, whenever I needed eggs mid-recipe I just walked across the street to either the local grocery store or local convenience store to get eggs.

Now, which artist or thinker said that a suburb is just the city spread too thin
