This somehow makes me feel nostalgic for when the internet was more irreverent.
Chickens are beautiful creatures worthy of at the least the respect we give to household pets. The unimaginable horror we put billions of them through on an ongoing basis, while dissonantly admiring their charm and brilliance, is a sobering realization.

I disagree. Chicken have been seen as food for the majority of our existence on this planet, not pets. That now we see them as pet as well talks about the complexity and capacity for contradiction and paradoxes of our culture and our minds. I accept that biologically I thrive on chicken meat yet I am intellectually capable of thinking chicken are very lovely animals. Humans are walking contradictions. As much as many…
There is no contradiction here. Just because something is a lovely animal doesn't mean I won't put a round through it's heart and butcher it's corpse to sustain my life. Elk are beautiful animals, but I have no problem killing one and eating it. We are the greatest predator Nature has ever evolved and I can accept that. More's the pity others can't.

Do you actually do this, or are you just virtue signaling? You never buy factory-farmed animal products from the store?
> Elk are beautiful animals, but I have no problem killing one and eating it
But it's not necessary for survival, so why would you?
> We are the greatest predator Nature has ever evolved and I can accept that. More's the pity others can't.
Interesting thought. I wonder how great of predator you are faced with a lion, or even that elk, but disarmed of technology.

>I accept that biologically I thrive on chicken meat yet I am intellectually capable of thinking chicken are very lovely animals. But today you have the capacity to biologically thrive equally as well without needing to eat chick en meat, so "lovely beings" are being slaughtered for no more than a few moments of sensory pleasure. A terrible price for such a lowly payoff.
No, I do not thrive on a meatless diet. I do not want to go into the particulars of my digestion and body, but it certainly isn't the diet for me. In general my opinion is meatless diets are possible, but not as healthy as omnivore ones. Thus the complexity of the matter, whose answer is not that simple. That said, I honestly do not think this is the place for such a debate.
Indeed, that is an opinion. However, the science is clear that meatless diets are more sustainable and healthier for humans.

I don't think OP is really talking about the line between pet and food. There's something else going on here. Think more about cows. Nice creatures. Live in the fields under the sun and that isn't horrific. We eat them. Maybe you had a pet cow? Ok that's fine. There's your pet/food line issue. Most omnivorous humans believe it is possible to treat them with respect in their lives and eat them. Others disagree, of cou…
I noticed whole foods seems to have has labeling wrt how the chickens are raised. That said, aside from eggs the chickens are eaten in the end. (and I wonder about eggs, I've heard some are fertilized)

Oh I see thank you. I was hoping for a more generic solution that I can use with a device that is not a camera.

One thing is certain: there is more money on the meatless bandwagon than outside of it.
Please let's agree to disagree, as I said this is not the place for such an argument and these days it's become like discussing our favourite football teams. I don't care for it.

It's basically just a URL right, blame the PnD groups not the 'tech' imo
I have no idea what this sentence is trying to convey. Planning on using this to mint NFTs makes the purpose of this project financial gain, not some cutesy experiment. If anything, the whole “our stack is so minimal!” angle serves as a signal to crypto dorks that minting NFTs for profit is an accessible possibility with minimal necessary buy-in. This isn’t just a website with pictures of chickens. It is a for-profit…
IMO being completely anti-crypto is a waste of energy

The science is anything but clear. And science is never final, especially dietary science, rife with subpar studies and economic lobbying.
