Something's up with the texture on Chad EU's face. His vest is also weird, can't see where it splits at the very top, and it has a weird silver stripe in only one small area.
The old lady's eye on the right is weird, almost like it's missing and there's just an empty spot there, but it's not quite like that either.
There's a lady in the back holding a kid, and...she has him in a choke?
Same lady, her nose is weird, like the perspective got fucked up there.
The eggs are weird too. There's two stacks, one is a 28 count, and the other is a 21 count? But it looks like two rows got like blended together in a weird way, like if you look at some of the eggs they look like two blended together, like it started doing another row and then gave up.
Also, they're all looking through him, not at him. Plus, in a real picture, not everyone's looking at the same thing always. The composition is also nonsense when you think about it. Dude is way off from the truck, by himself, stacking eggs on a table surrounded by a crowd of old people. That is not how aid distribution works.
Also, related to composition, someone once mentioned that AI images always look overcooked because it doesn't know when or how to stop cramming in more detail, and I find that to be pretty true. It's really hard- but possible- to get it to make an image that isn't just over-detailed to death.
number one, ew, ai slop, number two, i appreciate concern for americans getting more nutritious sources of protein and fiber but blaming consumers for lacking access to and time for better food is not a great strategy in my opinion
I'm still fuming over how childish that was. That oversized baby Vance was literally acting like some kid awkwardly trying to score some points in the eyes of his idol.
Kinda like blaming a President at war for not saying “thank you” to its “benefactor”
What's crazy about this line is how frequently Zelenskyy has done the "America A#1, you're the best!" media tour in the run up to this meeting. How many clammy-handed, rictus grin photo-ops does this guy have to do for you people? How many trips does he need to make to DC to say "Hello from Ukraine, I love you!" to Congress? Dude's entire career as President has just been going abroad and brown-nosing for NATO support.
This reminds me of the British journalists who will cut an Arab liberal off in the middle of an "I am here to condemn Hamas and ask for release on behalf of the Palestinian people" automated response to grill them on why they haven't condemned Hamas. It's all just bullying at an international scale. I'm amazed Trump didn't drag Zelenskyy into the restroom and try to give the man a swirly.
Probably couldn't find that many real unarmed Americans waiting properly for a real picture.
And to preempt the comments: I've seen videos of people tearing down the doors for black friday. I've seen people going with open carry to buy TP during covid, openly stating "I'll get my TP one way or another". No way hungry armed people won't escalate. Sure this is human nature, but Americans are the ones with more guns than eggs, and very divisive at this point in time
We do have H5N1 here, just like everyone else it's out there with wild birds and those fly all over the place, it's been a thing for two decades. Difference being we have regulations and also industrial structure (not as large companies/flocks) which means even if a flock gets infected it's a much more limited loss.
And of course the completely different hygiene standards: Eggs in the EU must be sold unwashed, which means that companies actually have to keep the barns clean. It's similar with chicken meat: It's not like chlorinating chicken would be a health danger to humans, it's that the hygiene conditions that would make chlorinating necessary, seen from the other side that chlorinating enables, are absolutely unconscionable. That's why chlorinating is outlawed in the EU.
In another line of thought, though, we should have another class of eggs: Organic barn. The usual better feed, more space etc. but keep them inside, it's not like chickens mind being inside. Vaccinating them sadly isn't an option at this point, like it is with salmonella.
EU has sustainable practices, robust regulations, and way less idiots in power. There is a lot of idiots, but the way regulation works, it's harder for them to fuckup. Not impossible, but harder.
Good chances that chicken plague is already here, but is dealt with appropriately and doesn't have this devastating results.
Also, no measles.
No they are a symptom of a deregulated industry that can raise prices by 100% even though their costs have only gone up 2%, as long as a convenient excuse is pushed by the industry-aligned media.
Then, when the chicken plague is over, they lower the prices a tiny bit, to about 80% more than before, Trump declares victory, and the rich have become richer again.
You realize Canada doesn’t have this issue, right? And they share a literal land border with the US. Why are you assuming the bird flu is some inevitable force that can’t be stopped?
That's because a) the EU is a coalition of many different countries who all have their own flags, and b) we don't fetishize our flags nearly as much as Americans. Many countries have laws against putting the flag on merchandise, because it's seen as disrespectful.
I mean, setting aside the "We're from the Government and We're Here To Help" liberalism that American conservatives reflexively recoil at, I do find it disorienting to pretend a heavily rural American breadbasket would need agriculturally scarce Europe to send food aid.
This reminds me of the 90s US effort to do welfare politics in West Africa, by dumping millions of tons of excess agriculture into Trans-Atlantic wholesale markets. The flood of "free" food (with tons of political strings attached) shifted the balance of power to the African urban centers, as local agricultural markets collapsed and people flooded to the industrial centers to get food at below the domestic production cost. Political leadership capable of controlling the influx of foodstuffs rapidly consolidated power within major port cities. This gave rise to authoritarian governments, political purges, and ultimately two horrifying Congolese Wars (the second often referred to as The Great War of Africa).
Obviously, more complicated than this. Along with food "aid" we also delivered a surplus of "military aid" to our regional allies (a list that was constantly shifting between US and African administrations, particularly during the fallout of the failure of the Soviet Union). Then there were a host of local tribal conflicts and score-settling that got ramped up to eleven with the sudden glut of foreign wealth.
But maybe I'm drawing lines where none exist. Can you really imagine how the US economy might be upset by a sudden shift in who controls the supply of cheap imports? Can you imagine what our country would look like if it was flush with small arms or if we had a bunch of local land barons with short tempers and delusions of grandeur? Can you conceive of an America that had a bunch of poorly defined interior borders that suddenly become flashpoints of political tension?
I get that the price of eggs is shorthand for the price of all food, which has gone up, but eggs specifically have gotten so expensive that egg substitute is about the same price at this point.
Sometimes it's just okay though. To have a commonly understood simplification of a societal problem to meme about with others to share the pain or burden of the problem with.
That's dumb. 2.50 is not a sustainable price. If you get local eggs from a humane farm, they are going to be expensive. It's just how it is man. If anything, that should cause you using them wiser.
Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes,
Other "meat substitutes" like seitan or sunflower seed mince,
Nuts, nut butters, nut flour,
Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt,
Soy milk
I mean for real, eggs are super unnecessary for a protein rich or healthy diet. I would argue that unless you literally want to treat yourself with a sunny side up or an omelette you shouldn't be using eggs at all. I like eggs, but a dozen lasts us (family of 3) a month easily.
Seitan is also very high in protein, containing 75g of protein per 100g compared to 13g per 100g for scrambled eggs (although its low on lysine, so it should be balanced out with other protein sources).
Ignore the legumes suggestion, it's nasty af and makes most people's stomachs bloated and inflammed (which gives gas and is the reason there are so many jokes on legumes giving people gas). Eat fish, nuts, artisanal cheeses (very low lactose compared to other cheeses) or even just homemade jerky. Good for the brain and no bloating unless you have some diagnosed gut diseases.
For those who can't be bothered to read my replies, proof of legumes irritating the stomach of many people, causing bloating, causing gas and even pain:
Stay educated. You don't HAVE to eat legumes, you can get fiber and essential nutrients in many other foods which is why I recommended other healthy foods, which don't cause physical discomfort or pain.
Edit: Look at all the downvoters. Pissed people off just by not recommending a single fucking plant (among many that we can consume with less difficulty) that humans don't absolutely need to live healthy and get all nutrients. Crazy ass people fr 😂 As bad as MAGA licking Trump's ass and if someone points out the bad and say they don't like him, they flip the f out. Except this is the legume cult. They flip out over legumes 😂
They definitely don't look entitled and angry enough. Some even seem to exhibit hints of appreciation and humility, which would cause a dimensional rift in the real world. I've never seen a less accurate depiction of what this event would actually look like.
This is the traditional baby-holding pose employed by republicans. It ensures the brain never gets enough oxygenated blood, and makes the spawn easier to indoctrinate late.
Gemini and Copilot are often overly cautious with their guardrails on generating anything violent or misinformation, although super easy to bypass in most cases
Images are a lot easier to create "good enough" generations of locally compared to text and video... I imagine the driving force is probably horny people like 99% of other innovations on the internet
Here in the Midwest we generally have our family egg for lunch on Sunday. Ever since Grandad passed we've been able to make thicker slices, but Sissy's little one is getting to the age that we're going to have to go back to thinner slices soon. We're just fortunate that we're able to get our weekly egg, so we're not complaining.
Yes. We usually rather give people money to buy food locally than ship sacks of rice across the world. With the US simply having no eggs of their own, though, that's of course not an option.
Occasionally, we ship some to Ireland to cause a political ruckus there. Sadly couldn't find any pictures of the famed EU cheese, but have some rice.
