We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.

The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.

Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

But the question is, is a chicken egg an egg containing a chicken or an egg which was laid by a chicken? (infosec.pub)

Eggs already existed here

Been saying that for ages.

But then [as the op points out] the question re-arises when asking "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?" The first chicken would have been in an egg... do we call that egg a chicken egg? Is the egg defined by who laid it rather than what's in it?

If the latter [what's in it?], which forms first? The chicken, or the egg around it? The egg.
If the former [who laid it?], the chicken came before the chicken egg, that first chicken being in an egg named after whatever non-chicken laid it.

So which is the proper definition? I'm leaning to who laid it. The first chicken came out of a non-chicken egg. The chicken came first. And then went on to lay the first chicken egg.

And when exactly do we consider it to be a chicken?
