Is it weird to say that your chicken looks straight gangsta? Like I'd invite that chicken to my smoke circle
Not at all, she seriously is. She will steal your lit cigarette or joint and run off with it. Look at this chook, she’ll cut a bitch.
It was 42°C out so I had them inside to cool off.
Edit: Also, that is my smoke circle in the first pic haha
Love it! You seem like good people, take a cool person puff for me today ✌️👍
Awwh! Thank you for saying so ✌️
i just want to thank you for starting a thread of people posting their chickens im the midst of a bunch of debatelords being debatelords.

God I wish. I live in an American city, so it's too dangerous to walk along the 4 lane stroad to get to the grocery store a block away
my condolences:(
When I look at those neat American suburb grids and imagine to be a shop owner, I would love to put my store directly into the grid. Is it just not allowed to have a shop in those neighborhoods? Isn't that anti-capitalist lol?
That's correct, suburbs are the product of the worst housing experiment in the US, in which racists fled from cities to suburbs. They were designed to benefit white people in the aftermath of WW2, because white people were more likely to afford a car. More racism prevented POC from buying in the suburbs or qualifying for housing loans. A second layer of racism came when the Department of Transportation intentionally used Emminent Domain to design the highway network for disrupting and dividing neighborhoods of black people. The whipped topping of this racism pancake came from an unassuming supreme court case, which allowed for municipalities to "preserve the character of the community", which cemented racist single family zoning into city ordinances and prevents literally anything other than a single family home from being built
Suburbs without cars are food deserts. No shops, no public transit. Only single family homes, schools and pedophile shuffling services (churches). If I had to walk to buy any food (even fast food) it would be a 45 minute trip minimum.
Unironically agreed. Suburbs suck and apparently they're also bad for the environment.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fuckcars@lemmy.world

The suburbanite sounds like she had a lot of other issues besides just owning a car lol
Some of those other issues stem from being a suburbanite. No social interactions, no casual exercise by walking more than the length of their driveway, no easy access to either cultural institutions nor quality green spaces, etc.

why did u assume the suburbanite’s gender lol
Sorry, I'll fix it... The suburbanite sounds like he, she, and/or they may unfortunately have a lot of other non-normative and potentially problematic life journeys going on besides just owning a car. Perhaps we should educate them by exchanging platitudes about living our best life?
Oh c'mon you know it was a classic Karen. Stop with this ridicule over everyone using common sense intuition.

the president still doesnt make the gas prices
that's the joke i think
Fuck suburbs, probably the one thing rural and urban people can agree on.
Suburbanite: Child, go open the instacart app on my phone and have some eggs delivered by an underpaid driver for $35.
When the store is 100 mile/160 kilometer round trip, you either figure out a substitute or do without. And if you don't know what else to use, your favorite search engine is only seconds away from helping you with your problem. It ain't rocket surgery.
Yep, it's their fault for living in a food desert and not the fault of the corporations that made it a food dessert 👍👍👍
Food deserts are mostly not the fault of corporations; they're the fault of zoning. Some of that blame admittedly rests on misguided (to say the least) modernist urban planners back in the '30s, but most of it rests squarely on the shoulders of NIMBYs.

Bessie the chicken huh
if i'm feeling restless i'll just bike 20 minutes to the local egg farm and buy the eggs directly from their little unmanned shop, for a hilariously low price.
i have a lot of complaints about sweden but god damn stuff like this is nice
For the vast majority of my suburban life, whenever I needed eggs mid-recipe I just walked across the street to either the local grocery store or local convenience store to get eggs.

Now, which artist or thinker said that a suburb is just the city spread too thin
I live in the suburbs and am within walking distance of 3 places that sell eggs. Which is an anomaly, because yes this is one of many problems with suburban sprawl.
