The comedy of errors continues
… I’m not laughing.
I am, but it’s only because I’m barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I’m crying the rest.
Pretty sure that’s how The Joker lives, just before he attempts to blow up a bomb in downtown Gotham.
I guess you need to find a tall dark brooding man to emerge from the shadows and engage in fight sessions with predefined hard limits. Like Batman has a no guns rule. So Joker tries to edge him into breaking his own hard limit.
Yes, I DID just make Batman/Joker into a bdsm lovers couple. Because that’s what it is. All the villains, and Batman are all just acting out kink scenes in public. Thats why they all wear masks. They all know each others identities. The masks are to hide from the public. Not each other.
Which brings me to the problematic side of Batman. There have been 5 different Robin’s. All of whom were teenage boys when they adopted the roll. If it had only been one Robin, you could make the arguement that Batman saw something in him, and needed to mentor him.
But 5??? That’s just grooming.
A Shakespearean comedy is just a play about regular people. His dramas were about the nobility.
Some of the best comedies are very hard to laugh at.
I am. Need more popcorn.
Is it a comedy of errors, or is it intentionally tanking the economy so Russia and Musk can buy up the USA at a steal of a deal?
It’d be hilarious if egg imports into the US were blocked because of the global tariffs.
Great job US of 🤡
Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs. Almost like it’s some kind of hard addiction.
At this point, I’m astonished no one has come up with some kind of synthetic egg that looks, acts, and tastes just like the real thing.
It appears a hen needs about 115g of feed a day to produce one 50g egg, so the product yield is less than half the input, plus all the other overhead like conditioned living space, water, antibiotics, lobbying for ag-gag laws against animal rights activists… I bet someone could come up with a more efficient way to make an egg. They could even call it something like “Aeg™” which could have some cute marketing meaning.

That’s surprisingly efficient.
Not only that, they also reduce organic waste, they help keep some pests at bay and they fertilize the soil for you
The little town of Limburg, Belgium offered 3 chickens to 2,000 households as an experiment in 2010 to cut down on household waste. Belgian officials have reported that the chickens are a huge success, organic waste has been cut in half and the families have gained a supply of free, fresh eggs.
We should be bringing back keeping animals at home, chickens for sure at least, ducks are loud cunts.
Then someone should open a business that butchers the chicken for you, so you don’t have to get your hands dirty even.
i grew up in post soviet era central europe, collecting all the vegetable scraps and even eggshels onto a bowl while cooking then taking it out back and giving it to chickens was the norm.
Peacocks are what you need my friend. You’ll think ducks are very quiet quite soon.
Nothing like something that sounds like a woman screaming to really liven up the neighborhood. Beautiful plumage, though.
We had a neighbour a few houses over get one. Never saw it, but I certainly heard the fucker.
He didn’t last long.
I love the idea of supplemental self sufficiency through family-scale animal husbrandy, especially with hens.
Unfortunately, this is an unintented consequence of doing that: https://www.cgpgrey.com/blog/americapox
tbf if the hens aren’t producing for commercial purposes, they could be vaccinated, like they’re thinking of doing in america.

They are (well, were) a cheap source of protein. Beans 🫘 are too but… well… you know!? 🌬️
I love me some Costa Rican-style beans and rice. It’ll be interesting to see what people will consume in lieu of eggs, should the price become prohibitive long-term.
Beans have always been magnitudes cheaper.
I mean, per bean yeah, but depending on the bean and on the egg…
Anyway eggs are delicious and most people like them, plus you use them in baking things like bread, cookies, cakes, and the like (beans don’t work for those purposes I believe).
And in the USA with the genetically modified chicken clones that never see outside a single day in their short brutal lifetimes, at like <15¢ per egg they were very affordable, although at $1 a pop not so much.
I’m not desiring to argue for a carnivorous diet and especially not against a plant-based one, just proffering explanation to the question (well, at least I took “Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs” as one - perhaps I was incorrect in doing so.)
Have you tried these? If so, are they any good?
The real problem that needs to be solved for the true veggie-egg takeover is a runny yolk.
This product wasn’t available to me when I went vegan, and now I don’t want foods that resemble animal products. So no, I haven’t tried myself. But my impression is it is very similar to chicken eggs.
This stuff is a substitute for scrambled eggs. It will never give you a runny yolk.
As for the taste, I actually like it, but it tastes nothing like eggs. It has more of a bean sprout like flavor. They nailed the egg texture though.
Egg beaters liquid egg substitute has been around for ages and there’s even a plant based one now. Nothing in the way of something not scrambled though.
Bob’s Red Mill makes a powdered, shelf-stable egg substitute for baking purposes. I keep it on hand because I can’t be arsed to keep real eggs in stock.
I’ve heard bananas and applesauce are also egg alternatives for baking, probably just for confectionary dishes, though.
Also aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas and such) can be used as a substitute I believe.
Yes, we use it a lot. Works almost as well
There’s loads of them, is this a joke?
There’s a product that’s shaped like an egg, cracks like an egg, boils like an egg, fries like an egg? I haven’t heard of it. I’ve only heard of stuff like Just Egg, which is a scramble analog…analegg…wait, I think that’s something else…
Yeah, there’s not an exact analog that can do absolutely everything that a chicken egg can. But there are analogs for just about every use case individually. There’s even fake hard boiled eggs. The flavor wasn’t quite right, but the texture was spot on. As far as I know there’s no way to imitate a skillet egg with an uncooked yolk.
My SO has concocted some pretty nice vegan alternatives using black salt and tofu and mung beans and corn starch and various other ingredients and techniques. Definitely not a 1:1 to real eggs, but enough to get someone by if they don’t mind a change. Mostly scrambles and skillet sunnyside up kinda of eggs. The yolky dipping sauce is quite good and easy to make.
I usually just slice up tofu and throw some black salt on it. I’m intrigued by this yolky dipping sauce though. Any chance there’s a recipe?
Here you go! https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-egg-yolk/
Edit: Here’s the vegan fried egg: https://www.noracooks.com/fried-vegan-eggs/
I will definitely be trying these, thank you!
this country is really obsessed with eggs
I was thinking about this myself. I think it’s a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.
Fortunately people dont need animal protein at all. Plant protein is cheaper and better for the climate. Always has been
We do need vitamin B12 which can only be found (naturally) in the animal kingdom. It can be supplemented though.
Yeast contains B12, that is pretty natural.
TIL
Decided to look it up a bit and there is so much conflicting info. One says fermented food like sauerkraut contains lots of B12. Another says it contains none at all.
I know it’s produced by some types of bacteria, but then could it also depend on production method? So if that is the case could it be in traditionally home made but not industrially produced sauerkraut?
Perhaps the baking process can change levels of B12 in the bread? Or maybe different kinds of yeast? It is a mushroom after all.
I haven’t really looked that much into myself, I have only ever heard (and read once on a vegan organization’s website) that if you are vegan, you are strongly advised to supplement your food with B12 because it is difficult, if not impossible, to eat the needed levels of B12 on a vegan diet.
I know it’s produced by some types of bacteria,
Is bacteria part of the animal kingdom? I know mushroom to be a bit of both animal and plant. Reading about kingdoms now it looks like my knowledge on the subject is a bit dated.
🎶 we’re morons! 🎶
We don’t need more eggs
There could be an egg-emption.
Sorry, could not resist
Edit. Spelling
$35 eggs per dozen!
But at least the American oligarchs will get to pocket all that sweet sweet tariff money. Don’t forget the stocks they shorted right before they tanked Wall Street. A government by billionaires, of billionaires and for the billionaires.
The egg imports were not meant to reduce prices. That’s not how that works, my friends. They were there because imports are/were competitive when local chickens die and there’s a monopoly on the domestic industry that’s already price gouging.
No way, these importers are doing it for the good of the country. They are helping make America great again.
Every single day, I am convinced more and more that us Canadians need to resurrect Rum Running but with eggs. The fisheries are questionable due to tariffs. We have both eggs and nice boats plus a long stretch of border.
I have 15 dozen beauties right now, fresh, regenerative, free run, just at my house alone. The stock market is crashing but the egg market is rising.
So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!
