What is 99% a chicken?

Evolution doesn't work that way.

Yeah, try to open your mind. It was not meant literally. It was figurative. And, actually, yes it does work that way...not ONLY that way, but yeah. Here you go:

Rapid sympatric speciation can take place through polyploidy, such as by doubling of chromosome number; the result is progeny which are immediately reproductively isolated from the parent population. New species can also be created through hybridisation followed, if the hybrid is favoured by natural selection, by reproductive isolation.

So 2 "almost" chickens reproduce and create an offspring that is reproductively isolated from the parents, and is an actual honest-to-goodness chicken. Not that fake chicken wanna-be that laid the egg in the first place.

Evolution totally works in the way of something procreating to make something not exactly like itself. The first bird to meet our classification standards of a chicken is a chicken and the egg it was born from is a chicken egg.

Yeah, here is how I see it...

A thing that is genetically 99% a chicken mates with something that is 99.5% a chicken, not really a chicken, but close. The resultant embryo in the egg that thing lays mutates just enough to get it to 100% a chicken. When it hatches, then it is a chicken. Hence, the egg had to be laid that contains a chicken for us to have a chicken, so the egg came first. The thing that laid the egg was "almost" a chicken, but not quite. If the egg gets made into an omelet then we still don't have a chicken, we have a delicious omelet. Once that egg hatches, THEN we have the first chicken. So the egg had to come first.

Another way to look at it is, if the chicken came first, where did the chicken come from? Naturally it had to come from an egg of some sort, so again, the egg came first. That egg, again, did not necessarily have to come from a chicken, but rather an "almost" chicken.

Unless it was some sort of cyborg chicken born in the depths of a dying star, sent to destroy us all. Then the chicken came first. And if it actually lays an egg, god help us all!

Well done. One of the great mysteries of the universe solved. Well done.

But I have a question for you. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it...?

What?
 
"In a photo shoot for Interview magazine, Ocasio-Cortez was pictured wearing a $3,500 outfit as she posed with construction workers. She was decked out in a Gabriela Hearst blazer ($1,990), Gabriela Hearst pants ($890), and some Monolo Blahnik shoes ($625)."

Yet the best thing to happen in politics in a long time, right?

She's an exciting politician because she worked her *** off going door to door engaging constituents who had long been ignored with a platform of economic justice. But yeah, how dare this woman spend money on nice clothes. That's not a sexist line of attack at all.

There's also a really good chance she didn't buy the clothes and they were provided by the clothing companies for the photo shoot. That's a pretty common thing apparently.

Jesus ****ing christ...

I think the line of attack is dumb but it had nothing to do with her being a woman.

Yeah man, I see articles slamming male politicians for wearing nice suits all the time.

Ones supporting socialist ideas? That was the line of attack. Pretty glaringly obvious.

But if you want to be offended go right ahead. But that doesn’t make you right.

Who said I was offended? I'm just calling out ******** when I see it. And yeah, I must have missed the meeting where all democratic socialists agreed that we must appear in public wearing sackcloth. My bad.

Funny. This is just gonna push people to vote for Trump, tbh.

The whole abolish capitalism and private ownership thing will sound good to a few fringe people, but the majority will hate it. Vocal minority will love it though.

With that said, cool story of how she got elected. Don’t agree with her viewpoints at all, but good for her. Plus I just don’t think she’s the least bit dangerous. People on the far left or far right typically work out better for the opposing party come election time.

Trump lost by 3.5 million votes and only 60% of Americans voted. Speaking of vocal minority, that's exactly who voted in Trump, with the help of gerrymandering and voter suppression. I wouldn't hold my breath for Donald Trump to ever have any kind of majority behind him, and 99% of Trump voters guaranteed don't have a clue about this woman. All they know is they hate everyone different from them and can't wait for Mexico to pay for America to build a space force.
