The chicken is the silent titan upon whose back Brosiden sleeps. Universally adapted as a staple in any kitchen of means, the chicken has proven its ability to thrive anywhere with minimal tending. Why, then have so few of us learned folk devoted a tome, or even at least a passage or mention, to the noble animal?

 

I aim to correct that now. I will conduct an unflinching and holistic analysis of the jungle fowl commonly referred to as "chicken". And, like any sane practitioner of science, I will begin my study with an anatomy of the graceful creature and its behavior.

 

The most prominent feature of the chicken is, of course, its comb. Colloquially known as a scab-ridge or mitharu's mistake, this floppy mantle of flesh is actually referred to in learned circles as the grossia major (in roosters) and grossia minor (in hens). Many have puzzled over the purpose of these growths, with many attributing them to some tool for communication. But that makes little sense - do not chicks need to communicate? Why don't they have little grossia majors and minors as well? No, the chicken's comb is far more likely a vestigial rest that used to be used in fending off predators and navigating their original habitats - oceans. Notice how the folds and contours of these growths resemble the fins of aquatic fauna? It is no coincidence.

 

There are not only physical characteristics that chickens are reputed for. The chicken - specifically roosters - are reputed for the diligence they employ when signaling the start of the day. While the degree to which they participate in this behavior is somewhat exaggerated, these reports are based in truth. Roosters are eager to announce the start of every new day, but this behavior goes unexplained. Perhaps they are relishing the opportunity to mate for another day? Perhaps they have an affinity for the god of the sun? In the end, it is unknown.

 

And the most valuable commodity of the chicken is, of course, its eggs. They are a lifeblood for the peasants and noblemen of Olympia alike, for it is their nourishment that gets us through the day and evenings. But why do chickens lay eggs in such quantities? It is to ensure that at least some offspring survive? Instead, I believe the chickens have behaviorally altered their egg laying physiology, colloquially known as an ovipositor matricula, to produce a surplus of raising their race's global population. No doubt the beasts flourish in captivity, but they desire the freedom of their wild ancestors. It must be their hope, then, that drives them to flood the world with their kind, to the point where ownership becomes meaningless and they are set free.

Actually, you don't entirely know how I am, you don't know me in person, you don't know several things about me, just as I don't know several things about you. I am admitting that what I said was perhaps too extreme, yet you jump on the last line like you know everything about me. 

 

Stop it. 

Ironic. You jump on my comment and imply that I'm implying that I know everything about you. Honestly I don't care that much about you, you're just another random person on the internet.

 

I was inferring about your use of that word and within the available context I was given from your posts, I came to the assumption that your use of that word was wrong and it was starting to get on my nerves.

I think that falls under the "do some more thinking and develop more empathy".

 

True, though wouldn't hurt if he achieved any kind of result now.

Gyad... now I want bacon.

[Dio Demon]

Madoka has that covered too.

Impulse is evolving like a Pokemon as we speak.

Responding to his comments now is like pressing B during his Pokevolution. You monsters. Do you want humanity to devolve again???

If it makes it easier to destroy earth when I can be bothered to... then yes!

Whoever is pressing B and has for a long time no really need to stop. Continuing now would just be mean

Ah, well then forgive me on that.

It... isn't something that can be achieved overnight.

You sh*tpost for a living though.

At least I'm aware that everything I post is autistic garbage.

Why has this thread turned into discussion on Impulse guy?

 

and develop more empathy

Why do you give such bad advice? That's not at all useful. It's better for somebody to laugh at the terrible things versus pretending they care.

[Jehuty]

Recon... that... is an interesting question.

Seems on-topic to me.

[Dio Demon]

Please reconsider. I need this to finish my Pokedex.

You don't want to mess with someone who's gotta catch 'em all.

Okay... you have until Call of Duty innovates.

Rah. 

 

No.

I'm going to break character for a moment and state that Black Ops III is looking like a game I would genuinely consider playing if it wasn't for the community and DLC/pricing nonsense that usually accompanies Call of Duty games.

Seems on-topic to me.

[Draining Dragon]

Oh my, what a thoughtful and relevant discussion.
