Sagebrush posted:An unfertilized egg contains a chicken in the sense that a bag of dog food contains a dog. It's a bunch of disorganized proteins and fats that by themselves could never turn into a chicken, and a single cell. This will not stop my attempts to grow kittens in a small bowl of milk however.

Related, I won a bet against my parents because they were insistent that the yolk was what developed into a chicken. 2 people with post docs (one has a BS!)

Eggs are super loving gross when you think about it, but they are delicious so it is a conundrum.

SLOSifl posted:It's missing a sex chromosome and otherwise is a package of materials and genetic instructions. A bag of dog food doesn't actually contain the all of the right stuff in the right proportion to create a dog from scratch, certainly not without being broken down by digestion first, and with lots of water. And egg also provides a small holding case to keep the embryo safe while a dog fetus in a bag of kibble is more of a tasteless prank. The dog food bag isn't a bad analogy. Probably upwards of 99% of the material in the egg is just food and life support. And no, it's missing fully half of its chromosomes, not just the sex chromosome. Fun video just because embryos are alien looking fuckers and that's rad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PedajVADLGw

Nutsngum posted:Chopper was really a nut bag for sure. Obviously not loaded but just a fuckwit thing to do. The reporter Renee Brack did a follow up story on SBS after he died. She claims she saw him put a bullet in the cylinder, for what that's worth. It's hard to guess tbh because while chopper was a legit psycho who did torture, steal, kidnap and probably got away with a couple of murders - he was also a notorious bullshitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL2iZlkaueE

Additional 'freude: a racist Australian politician who has been campaigning against halal food was VERY ANGRY that halal butchers were slitting the throats of live cattle and even brought it up in an official senate hearing. It was explained to her that the cattle are stunned first and she was all "NO THEY'RE ALIVE I WAS TOLD!!" and someone had to explain to her what 'stunned' means. https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/35625403/hanson-worried-about-halal-cow-deaths/#page1

Brisbane isn't dreadful, if that's all you've seen of Queensland. The rest of it is the basically Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas and Florida wrapped up in one. Racist, meth-addled, redneck, xenophobic, poorly-educated, indigenous-mistreating, right-wing fundamentalist dipshits that the world would not miss if they were to go away tomorrow. edit: VVV yeah people here get a bit of a soft spot for him because of his later book writing (they really are terrible) and the comedian Heath Franklin playing a character of him on a comedy show but he was actually a psychopath with a legitimate body count.

Like a country town with lots of history and pleasant people that just happens to have a population of 200,000. Townsville is a loving dirthole, sorry. I've spent more time in Western Tasmania than the rest of it, and people are certainly weird there. Probably all the lead mining and smelting.
