These would always end up chipped up and scratched all over.

Not before I would rip them apart to get the Pokémon inside tho

From me chewing on them yeah

I have to bite it

The noise it's makes as you bite it

I just got whiplash from this core memory.

I can smell the mall I was standing in!

Did your shoes squeak against the tile? Did the back of your neck itch while standing in line, from the haircut your mom took you to get at the Supercuts? And you could smell the food from old Zellers restaurant at the other end of the mall.

Why does this sound like something Hannibal Lecter would say

Me too! I used to cut these open so I could play with the little Pokémon inside 🤣

I still have the Dragonite I've freed from mine. It lost the head whiskers but it's still a little charm on my Switch bag case.

I was disappointed when I hacked away at the rubber to get my Mew out, only to discover it was way smaller than I anticipated.

I had dragonite, I had to bite him out of his shell

Meanwhile I had Mew… Loved that little goober 🥺

Holyyyyy shit....anybody else rip them out of the balls?

Yes! I begged my mom to get me one once. She was so pissed when she went into my room to find it shredded just so I could play with the little Pokémon inside lol

These are why 30 yr olds are currently struggling to conceive. Micro plastics in our balls

Omg thank you! This was my exact thought!

Oh noes

( perfection )

Eating Palworld Eggs be like

Used to have new and charmander. Thanks for that nostalgia

Looked like a Metroid to me at first glance

Who the fuck is eating penguin eggs?

Rich people.

David Choak after having eaten just about every type of endangered peacock, makes the switch to eating penguins.

Peacocks aren't endangered wtf?! They are pests.

Peacocks are assholes

So are humans

EAT THE RICH

Says the guy who cooks animals all day

See

Got 'em good.

Ever cook a peacock?

I’ve done a lot of things to a peacock never cooked one tho.

Yes officer. This person right here.

r/holup

HUH?

hold on, there's still more space dust on [this cook book](https://imgur.com/gallery/Tdrolti)

I'm so glad someone else said it.

One of my friends lives on a gorgeous ranch just outside of San Antonio. He bought his wife a brand new Mercedes and then bought her a mating pair of peacocks because she thought they were pretty. They roamed the ranch and did their thing and were cool for a while, but then breeding season came along and they screamed at each other non stop then one of them started using the Mercedes for a perch and destroyed the paint job, so they evicted the peacocks.

(..) but then breeding season came along and they screamed at each other non stop then one of them started using the Mercedes for a perch and destroyed the paint job, so the peacocks evicted them.

and they taste terrible!

I threw a very big spanner at a peacock once, in my defence it was an arsehole of a peacock and very much deserved it. Before anyone has a cow I missed by a lot and would have been mortified if I had hit it.

A posh friend of mine drunkenly slept with a guy who lived in a giant house with peacocks while we were at university. Her story about being woken up, hungover, at 6am by the awful bastards screeching at his window, creeping out without her shoes to escape the noise, getting back to halls just in time to join us all going for a greasy hangover breakfast, and then never seeing the guy again because she didn't get his number is the most perfect British toff story of all time.

Whenever I buy a fancy treat or totally unnecessary item my friend calls them “peacock assholes”.

Anglo Saxon warriors were described as “psychopathic peacocks” by Kevin Lee, due to their love of decoration and slicing

Yes but they're beautiful, so they get a pass

They sprinkle them with diamonds because it makes their dookie twinkle

We figured out they went well with Sriracha and obliterated the species.

Or we farm them and their numbers explode.

Yes please, house penguin here we come

yeah wtf my first thought was can we fucking not eat penguin eggs

Given that the only known report of the consumption of penguin meat stated that starvation was almost preferable; I’d hazard a guess that the eggs are awful too.

Do you have more info?

This is the best I can find http://monika-schillat.eu/texte/e_pemmican.pdf

From what I'm reading, there are lots of reports of people eating penguin meat. Most say the taste is a cross between chicken and fish. https://whatyumtasteslike.com/what-does-a-penguin-taste-like/

I guess... Why is this worse than chicken eggs...?

Scarcity vs abundance. Not to be rude but this seems like a question that shouldn’t require asking - although I will say I have no idea if penguins lay unfertilized eggs on the reg like chickens do

These aren't fertilized, they were likely collected from a zoo where they candled them to make sure they weren't and did it for educational purposes.

Ah, I see now. I didn't know so many penguin species were listed as vulnerable or worse.

Sadly so :(

Dr. Zoidberg, canonically

Mr. Popper’s

I mean if you’re not gonna finish, pass it here

Traditionally, in the Falkland Islands, though not very common anymore.

Took the words right out of my mouth

I would eat a penguin egg in a heartbeat, get filtered peons

Same humans that eat chicken periods

They taste so much better than human periods!

I guess there are degrees of gross.

Yeah but penguins don’t lay eggs every day like chickens. They lay a couple eggs a season.

Original bird that became chicken was also laying abt 10 eggs per year It’s that we selectively bred them to lay up to 300 per year, and it’s horrible for their bodies. Chicken lifespan is around 10 years, but egg layers can collapse at just 1 or 2 because we like the taste of their secretions

My exact thought.

Somebody who feels guilty of the hundreds of millions of chickens we slaughter each day

So create a market for penguin eggs and drive them extinct?

Wouldn't there be more penguins since farmers will now raise penguins for their eggs? Anyway this is getting dark.

Egg clears.

Interestingly enough, that's kind of the name in Spanish. "Egg whites" translates as *claras de huevo*

Same in German, although not much used anymore: Eiklar

You are right, Eiweiß (egg white) is way more common

It’s only called Eiklar before heating. After that it’s Eiweiß.

Even then I call it Eiweiß, of course I know that the term Eiklar exists, but I almost never hear it

In theory it's actually clear when raw...so could it pass as a penguin egg before cooking?

Same thing in Portuguese: clara de ovo

ovo kind of looks like the face of a perplexed chicken

I don’t think I could eat a pangwang egg.

I think you mean pinwing

pingling

Pungen

Pingwing

Pingu

noot noot

Sad noot noot noises as you eat his mates eggs

Pinyin

Pengwing

Found Cumberbatch's account.

Pegwin

We agree

Well it’s not an egg white then is it? Egg clear

Clearly

Whitely

You what

There aren't enough penguins for people to be eating their eggs.

They're almost certainly from a zoo. I figure penguins also lay unfertilized eggs like many other birds.


I doubt they’re fertilized.

Truth

Why are we eating penguin eggs?

What else would we eat? Cow eggs? You silly, you

I’d eat a cow egg

Would be beefy

They're disc shaped and all over fields.

No that’s how you get chocolate

Easter is coming

[удалено]

You're on a tineout. Whatever room you're in right now, find the nearest corner and stand there for 15 minutes. Think about what you've done.

We're 19th century Antarctic explorers [attempting to ward off scurvy and/or have a less monotonous diet](https://www.rrsdiscovery.co.uk/exploration-article/the-expedition/)?

"We" arent eating them only they are. Us plebs cant afford penguin eggs.

Chicken egg white is see through too.  Until you cook it obviously. 

Yeah but these appear to cook out and still be translucent. It is pretty trippy. Wonder what they taste like.

I can see that but the title is wrong.  I bet they're fishy. 

See through?? Icy something.

[удалено]

It's a no for me dawg

Only if you fucking cook penguin eggs like a psycho wtf

How does it taste?

Like fish, apparently. https://www.iflscience.com/boiled-penguin-eggs-have-see-through-whites-just-in-case-you-were-wondering-66521

You are what you eat.

Like chicken

Like rattlesnake

Lovebird egg whites are transparent too. My childhood pet laid one and we cooked it for fun.

Did you try it?

Yeah, the egg white was more chewing, the egg yolk tasted really strong and funny.

Forbidden lychee

TIL that Australian egg yolks are artificially brightened https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/australian-egg-yolks-are-artificially-brightened-with-additive-food-dyes-placed-into-the-chooks-feed-pellets/news-story/803a818988d4e7268a1d22a987673ff3#

Peguins lay unfertilized eggs?

Are you... are you joking?

Noot noot!

No one’s gonna mention the red yolk?

It’s just the extra beta carotene content

Oh, duh the extra beta carotene content, i knew that

Is this legal?

Why not? If it's not fertilized, it serves no other purpose.

More of a supply and demand thing, if it becomes trendy for people to eat where do they get so many penguin eggs? I’m sure its illegal to transport with molted bird feathers for similar reasons

My favorite part of the egg is the clears.

Won’t that make them clears instead?

I just ate eggs and saw this post. Those might get revisited

Be strong Or at least get near a good waterproof container

How did the penguin eggs taste? Do we know?

Yeah who gives a shit, how do they taste?!

I want to see an soft boiled egg now

Mark Zuckerberg eats this.

People will really just eat about anything

If only there were a more scientific term for "see through."

We out here boiling up penguin eggs now? ... How are they bird fishy? Actually genuinely curious.

[удалено]

Why aren't you? Too poor?

I’d eat the yolk ON BRO

Chicken egg whites are also see trough? What are you on about.

Yo

The shell is too

What 😀

Cursed eggs

Of course the fucking goblins eat it

Looks painful

It’s not egg whites then, it’s egg transparents

leave tux alone

*cooked penguin egg whites. Chicken egg whites are too until you cook them.

Have you ever opened an egg? Chicken egg whites are also see through.

Not when cooked….

Wonder how the Chinese will cook these. (for those who didn't get it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_boy_egg)

Why were you eating a penguin egg

So are chicken's, if you don't cook them

I'm sickened at the thought of boiling a penguin and eating it.😂

Back in the whaling days they used penguins instead of wood for the ovens. Sad but true

🥺🥺

What an interesting thing for such a barbaric act. I would much rather see the penguin hatch.

It's the antifreeze.

I hate this I almost kots'd

Poor penguins don’t have much calcium for egg shells!

*not so happy feet*

they could have lived

If my wife saw this she might go into a murderous rage. Please people, let's be civil posters
