I don’t think that the turkey lived a happy life in the livestock factory
Well the chart could be showing a constant mass with decreasing happiness.
If it’s weight divided by happiness, it should spike to infinity instead of dropping to zero
i believe as the turkey does not feel any happiness it should be either 0 or undefined, resulting in the function being undefined beyond death either way.
True. If it realizes death is iminent, it spikes as this will, at some scale, still be a gradual process where happiness approaches zero before actually reaching it. If not, it stays wherever it would normally be in those instances. Starting at the moment of death, undefined.
Solid analysis especially considering what the artist thought they could slip past us: turkeys getting a little bit happier every day from birth to death.
where do you get that from? as far as i can tell, the only conclusion fro that part of the graph is that the turkey, on average, gains weight faster than happiness, though the exact relation of the two beyond that is unknown unless the weight curve is known. i would actually argue that it’s losing happiness at the end as the weight curve should start to flatten out, yet the displayed curve doesn’t follow that expectation.
I’m reading it as “Weight & Happiness” rather than “Weight ÷ Happiness”… perhaps a bad assumption.
“weight or happiness” i would understand as that is another established interpretation of a slash - “weight and happiness” though is, in my opinion, actually incorrect. in that case it would have been “weight + happiness”
I believe the slash is being used to mean “or”, rather than as a division sign.
most definitely - we’re just taking the piss here :)
😆 whoosh
“whoosh” is used for people who do not get the joke. we did get the joke but deliberately chose to ignore it to make a different joke. there is a difference between those two.
The whoosh was for myself…
oh. in that case, whoosh to me as well, i suppose :P
Weight = happiness
Upvote for sourcing properly, even though I don’t really agree with the contents of the source, it makes the joke a lot funnier.
I make no endorsement of the source itself :)
This one probably takes the cake for most hilarious out-of-context from the source https://old.reddit.com/r/boneachingjuice/comments/10pbwzv/egg_face_surgery/
EDIT: Come to think of it, there should be a Bone Aching Juice spinoff for Lemmy. EDIT2: It is done.
Getting a free-range, heritage turkey from a local farm is well-worth it, if it is affordable (or you can pool money to make it affordable). You can genuinely taste a significant difference. Not only do they grow for a longer period and get a more varied diet but they have a less stressful, happier life with more experiences. I think that the happiness makes them taste better.
