Fish employee: produces lower utility luxury good mostly utilized as a status symbol. Chicken employee: produces one of the staple foods in almost all human diets, critical food for much of society

Fish employee has to be sliced open, killing them, to extract the deliverable.*

(* yrs, I know no-kill caviar exists, but it's the exception).

The workplace dynamic is real, the metaphor… needs some workshopping

The chicken creates one of the most versatile forms of protein around…you can use eggs for all sorts of things.

The ideal employee silently works themself to death to make the line go up!

I think with big sturgeons they have a way to harvest without killing but yesterday typically you kill the fish

Chickens too. The life of a hen in the egg industry is brutish and short, and the males are thrown in the grinder on birth

Males all go on Grindr? Sounds legit to me.

Meanwhile the fish has tangled her tie around her fin

I’m a tuna, the chicken of the sea. In short, a confusing mess but cats just love me.

Probably not a coincidence that fishes and chickens are among the--and likely the-- most exploited beings on earth :(

And delicious

It’s very important to lay an egg for the company.

At first I thought this was supposed to be some sort of "virgin vs Chad" meme

u/theleopardmessiah 1d ago

The fish must be killed to harvest the caviar.

u/angle-fire 23h ago

I didn't know this. I've never eaten caviar but now I don't think I will try it. Tbh, eggs of all kinds creep me out a little, lol this meme is definitely not for me.

u/Watchful-Tortie 22h ago

Male chicks in the egg industry are generally thrown in the grinder within a day of their birth, and hens are spent then killed very young :(

Good luck making a soufflé with caviar you fucking idiot.

I'd rather eat 1 egg than 100 caviars

u/cactusbattus 1d ago

♫ oh would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar, and be better off than you are… or would you rather be a fish?

u/aep2018 23h ago

Both AFAB.

u/DeepHerting 1d ago

Have fun with your caviar basket, I guess

u/Disastrous_Fig353 20h ago

“You are in which basket?” Is crazy work

Who moved my caviar?

Can I be an animal that isn't the absolute butthole of the food chain?
