Learning how to speak chicken is not becoming a chicken. That's a frequent misconception that borders cultural appropriation. Chickens aren't just about a few bock-bock and cockle-doodle-doos. They have a rich set of physical expressions as well (flap flaps, head kicks, grating the soil, etc) and a vibrant culture that is transmitted between generations. Their philosophy on death and their capacity to always see life on the sunny-side is both unique and deep, the fruit of seeing their children being picked for food on a daily basis. This should be celebrated. The article completely missed the point on that aspect.
Pretending you became a chicken because you're now performing a few chicken-like sounds is plain wrong, an insult to the poultry community.

- ysavir 4y agoI can't tell if you're actually quoting the show Chuck or just summarizing charles_f's comment and attributing it to "Chuck", which is a nickname for Charles.
- charles_f 4y agoA more appropriate way of putting was "chucking up feathers up your cloaca doesn't make you a chicken"
- datalopers 4y agoIt's a quote from the book, Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk.
- Symbiote 4y agoI think it's attributed to an anonymous chuck, since that's also slang for a hen.
- inglor_cz 4y agoOn the other hand, the first programmer identifying as a chicken occupies a truly unique niche in the DIE ecosystem ... Of course, within mere weeks, more and more are going to start flocking to interviews.
- beardyw 4y ago> identifying as a chicken Just woke nonsense. If you didn't hatch out of an egg you are not a chicken - end of!
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoI don’t think anyone was implying that at a literal level, no need to get triggered.
- Volundr 4y agoI think GP was understood the joke as was continuing the parody... Buy with all the people having conniptions about "litter boxes in schools" it's honestly hard to tell.
- charles_f 4y agoYou need to prime the cycle somewhere though, i.e. Either someone started identifying as a chicken and laying eggs, or someone started identifying as an egg and transformed into a chicken. That whole pure astral energy egg inception has no scientific basis and comes entirely from poultryian cults chickenshit
- officialchicken 4y agoYou are absolutely correct about the nuance, but I disagree with this 'no true chickenman' argument. We all started somewhere below expert-level.
- satvikpendem 4y agoWow the m̶a̶n̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ chicken herself

- bjornsing 4y agoYea, this is chickenwashing.
- 8note 4y ago> life on the sunny side Yeesh
- saghm 4y agoOn the other hand, learning to talk like a duck and walk like a duck does quality a programmer to identify as a duck, provided they work in Python.
- snoot 4y agoTrigger Warning: may elicit images of graphic violence. Although I agree with your general sentiment, I feel your comment should have been prefixed with a trigger warning. Use of the term ‘sunny-side’ is problematic and insensitive, particularly when used to describe children of chickens.
- tbyehl 4y agoLife does not begin at laying.
- worthless-trash 4y agoI just knew this would devolve into chicken and egg philosophy.
- cm2187 4y agoOr to quote Wellington (accused of being irish), being born in a stable doesn’t make you a horse.
- iquerno 4y agoThis happens all too often and furthermore is a problem beyond the chicken realm. Attention to detail is an integral part of human life and it is disgusting to see mere humans pretend to comprehend the intricacies of escaping beyond their mortal self, just for internet points.
- nephanth 4y agoNow you are just bickering. Please show more respect for op and their accomplishments They didn't do all that to be roasted on the internet
