People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.

No doxxing people.

Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.

No international politcs

Be excellent to each other.

Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Just because it came out of someone's back yard, doesn't mean it's high quality. So many chickens get table scraps and little else. Not everyone is suited to keeping pets, let alone livestock.

-- But it generally does in developed countries as the majority of people going through the effort of keeping chickens in that environment are into keeping chickens. You might get some shitty setups, but the norm is decent quality feed and far less stress than large scale commercial setups.

It's more of a hobby than a "get rich" scheme.

That's cool, but neither of us have any data, and I'm telling you my experience has witnessed the norm is shitty setups feeding table scraps to half starved hens.

What do you think is worse, taking really good care of animals you are exploiting and possibly going to eat, or taking really shitty care of that same animal?
