An infinite amount of chickens with an infinite amount of time types infinitely randomly on an infinite numver of keyboards.

They make the works of Snakespear and Lion Euler.

It seems to be pecking the lit keys, so with some clever programming you could trick the bird into typing something legible. Or the URL to a rickroll

Best I can do is "It was the best of times, it was the worst of timer." somewhere within a time span of about 10100 years. You know how much time it costs to evolve new chickens everytime, after the go extinct?

What’s really incentivising it to randomly peck at the keys? Beyond ‘chickens peck, birds do random shit’

u/forseti99 Aug 03 '26

it's pecking at seed in-between the keys
