    Please don’t peel people! They do look the same on the inside, but they also look dead on the inside once peeled.

        There are people who actually believe that there’s no underlying differences between races “we are all the same on the inside”. Like that anti science psyop has actually hoodwinked a lot of midwits

        Probably. But if we take the equivalent of like human embryos, they probably all taste pretty much the same. There isn’t much variation in eggs because they haven’t developed.

          I don’t know man, have you had any from an overweight one? SO much juicier compared to a regular female.

          I’m just drunk and talking shit, but now I wanna know, is there a difference in embryos based on their parent’s fitness level? Does pegnatcy diet affect the embryos growth … rate? … or whatever? Does it affect the babies weight at birth?

            Yeah, lol. But don’t try to apply that to chickens because they don’t have a placenta.

      Placebo effect. They are the same regardless of egg shell color. What matters more is the health of the chicken. A healthy chicken will produce a stronger shell and a more orange yoke. Though beware of the farmers giving hens food that just changes the color.

        I mostly agree, if you pick a brown egg its seems to be more likely to be healthy in most standard groceries where i live. I used to have chickens, I miss those eggs. Had no idea you could feed the chickens so the yolk was darker though.

    This reminds me of an old Bill Nye clip I saw once, where he explains that, biologically, there is no such thing as race. We’re all one race, the human race.

    From there, we tend to sub-divide ourselves by cultures and geopolitical origins, but we’re still all the same regardless of what we look like or where we come from.

      Race is a social construct. We are all just variants of the same species.

      Ethnicity is a thing. Race is not.

        This is true, but I think people often don’t even understand why race is a social construct, and what that means.

        Race means something different depending on who uses the word and where.

        If you, for example, read texts from 1920’s Continental Europe, race is often used as a stand-in for nationality: “the German race”, “the French race”, “the English race” and so on. This is because “race” is a meaningless “us versus them” term. It’s used to say “We are this, you are something else”. It’s used to glue together whichever group you determine to be the “in group” versus whichever group is the “out group”.

        In the USA, there weren’t enough people of a specific nationality to form groups like that, instead the relevant groups were “us, the immigrants”, “the native people”, “the people from the next big political block in the south”, “slaves” and “those other immigrants which we don’t understand”. So that’s where we get “White”, “Native Americans”, “Latinos”, “Blacks” and “Asians” from.

        At the same time, when talking e.g. about humans versus animals, the term “the human race” was commonly used too. So a race could refer to anything from which language you speak, which nationality you are from or which species you belong to. It really doesn’t mean anything at all.

        In Europe, at the same time, the Nazis rose to power, and they were really clear on which race they thought was superior: Germans. They were not white supremacists, but German supremacists. They saw the English as a separate race and the white Americans as mixed-race race traitors. Which makes it kinda ironic that there are English and American neonazis. People the original nazis would clearly see as inferior.

        After WW2 the word “race” fell out of use in most European languages (at least when referring to humans) and in the last few years it got reimported from the USA with the USA meaning of the term.

        Incidentally, the term for “racism” did not fall out of use in Europe, so that still has the old connotations. This means that in German e.g. a German who hates all French people is a racist, while in US English he wouldn’t be.

          The origin of whiteness is from the Spanish inquisition after the fall of Granada, white skin was used as proof that you had no Muslim or Jewish ancestry

        Ethnicity is useful for social categorization, but it cannot be used as a stand in for genetic Principle Components. Ethnicity is also a construct.
