Platystemon posted:The chicken came first because a chicken egg is laid by a chicken and that one wasn’t. Whether your standard for what a chicken is is based on morphological features or genetic proximity, it means the first chicken was laid by a non-chicken hen. That's just how genetic changes work, whether from selective breeding or evolution. Egg came first.

Then the egg definitely came first, the first amniote wasn't a chicken anyway. e: [sweating profusely, hoping that I used 'amniote' right and that no one will notice it's a word I learned only a few weeks ago] Phlegmish has a new favorite as of 15:18 on Nov 25, 2020 |

Splicer posted:Nobody's asking "Which came first the chicken or the chicken egg." In the many centuries philosophers have argued about this problem, I don’t think that many of them said “psych! Turtles also lay eggs and those things seem more ancient to me, therefore the egg came first.” The egg has always been assumed to be a chicken egg.

The main problem is that it's arbitrary to determine the first creature that could be considered a chicken. And even if you do set objective morphological and/or genetic criteria, amniotic eggs had already evolved by the time chickens came around. Therefore, that first chicken would have hatched from an egg, ergo, the egg (laid by a quasi-chicken) came first.

For example, the one horse-sized duck vs 100 duck-sized horse debate was complicated by the fact that both those animals existed at some point. At the same time, even. Also the people who asked that never fought a pissed-off normal duck. Phlegmish posted:Then the egg definitely came first, the first amniote wasn't a chicken anyway.

Weren't the synapsids a type of reptile? e: hmmm, according to their Wikipedia article they weren't. Interesting. e2: of course, take it with a grain of salt, since the article was edited by synapsids themselves

I feel like a Muscovy duck would be a more wily opponent than a dik-dik. I would certainly not want to take on a horse-sized Muscovy. Just gimme the 100 dik-diks I guess.

Why wouldn't you choose to fight whatever number of dik-diks? I'm pretty sure they're non-aggressive herbivores, they would just run away, leaving you to win by default

Exactly, which is why I chose the dik-diks rather than a giant-rear end duck. Tiny deer ain't nothin' but tricks, and big duck ain't no chump.

I would definitely challenge a hundred dik-diks first, I've seen how much a regular size duck poops and I would not want to be near even a friendly giant one.
