It’s just a small thing but I had some eggs and toast the other morning and remembered a friend’s suggestion to mix fresh basil into my scrambled eggs… so I literally walked onto my balcony and harvested some basil! Mind = blown. I grew that basil! I’ve been lovingly tending to it on my balcony for weeks and weeks and now I get to EAT it!!

It was delicious, in case you’re wondering. The eggs are fresh from my neighbor and went so nicely with the basil c:

EDIT: my neighbor’s chickens I mean

    I’m procrastinating on laundry so thinking about this way too much:

    Human eggs are only about 3.5 micrograms (0.0000035g) so to equal the weight of a typical 55g chicken egg you would need 15,714,285 human eggs. If you harvested them every month, you would need all the eggs from every ovulation from 35,000 human women in the entire span between puberty and menopause to equal the weight of a single chicken egg.

    Mammal eggs also contain proportionally a lot less yolk than bird eggs, so even if you did all that it would probably be like having an all white omelette that looks like wet sand.

      That’s going to be the big scandal of 2030, isn’t it? Some high up guy at a chain of IVF clinics secretly making nasty little omelettes.
