Diogenes would be proud here

My first thought too.

To anyone unaware, plato defined man as "a featherless biped" so Diogenes brought a plucked chicken

Why does it always come back to chickens?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

Because they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.
