Assuming an infinitely malleable chicken... This reminds me of the old blacksmithing trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I68Cik7ywg
one must be strong to hit 2kg hammer this fast
It helps having a good anvil, as it bounces back most of the way

But ideally you could stuff it with a dozen thanksgiving turkeys themselves stuffed with ducks stuffed with regular chickens stuffed with sausages. Be prepared: there will probably be leftovers.
Or birds all the way down: > In his 1807 Almanach des Gourmands, gastronomist Grimod de La Reynière presents his rôti sans pareil ("roast without equal")—a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an ortolan bunting and a garden warbler—although he states that, since similar roasts were produc…

Yeah that’s fucked up.
Honestly par for the course for human treatment of chickens. See chick culling [1]. Billions of baby chicks are macerated live because they are not commercially useful. > Worldwide: As of 2015, approximately 7 billion male chicks were culled annually around the world [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_culling
Hard disagree. Burning something alive in a slow and agonizing death for zero purpose other than cruelty is nowhere near the same thing as near instantaneously killing an animal for animal husbandry purposes.
Could we do better or have better practices? Sure. Is there an argument for not eating meat at all? Sure.
But if you were going to die you would have a lot bigger problem being slowly roasted alive versus instant brain destruction.

#114I still need to know how fast I need to ride my bike to not freeze my hands, when biking during the winter without mittens. There has to be some sweet spot where my hands a warm, but not burning.
Its an unusual solution but you can train cold acclimation to your hands. Ice climbers do it to prevent their hands from freezing up during a climb. It essentially boils down to sticking your hands in ice cold water for long enough periods of time, like 30-45 minutes once or twice each day is what I remember reading for a week or two before a climb/cold weather. And after you do it enough times your body learns to increase blood flow to your hands along with increasing your base rate of metabolism as a response to cold hands, versus the default unacclimated response of slowing blood flow to your hands to preserve core temperature. And the effect will get stronger the more often and longer you do it.
The effect will diminish over time if you don't use it, but not completely until over a year or more of not using it, and you can do it before cold weather hits. It probably happens somewhat to you already if you are experiencing it enough, however you might not really get the effects naturally until we are already nearing spring, or if you only ever experience it for 15 minutes at a time and then go roast your hands on a heater, versus training it in the fall so when deep winter hits you are already very well acclimated to it.
Its the same effect that lets people wear shorts or kilts or whatever in the winter and snow. They aren't unusual or weird or got warm blood, they just exposed their legs often enough to cold for the body to learn and adapt until it no longer bothered them. It can even go pretty extreme to people being barefoot in the snow for hours at a time, when someone unused to it would have frost bite in 20 minutes.

That tells me the police have nothing better to do.
First off, good. I’m glad crime is down. Second, let’s say we ignore the ethical part of what they did to the chicken. Their behavior still demonstrates serious mental issues that should get treatment before they negatively impact a person, right? Also, don’t ignore the ethical issues with fucking torturing a baby animal for no reason whatsoever.

The life they give the chickens they don’t cull is almost certainly worse than death, at least in the typical factory farm.
