Powerful how?

If it's a troll question: is blue whale counted as meat or fish?

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

Chicken has more calories whereas fish has more omega 3s.

I'd say chicken wins out from a survival perspective.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The downvotes are so unwarranted, lol.

Anyway, fish, because some fish can be "strong" but chicken is just chicken. Idk, that's what my intuition tells me. 🤷

But chicken is a dinosaur though

[–] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Depends on how you define fish, also in some places fish is not meat, and can be eaten by vegetarians. But i think, since the chicken derived from a dinosaur, and the only living creatures that basically never changed are fishes, the battle is pretty simple:

Any fish looses against the chicken on land

The chicken looses against more than 25% of all fish species.

Killer whale... they take out sharks and anything else. There be some power in that meat.

Fish is the nutritional super-meat due to long-chain omega-3:s and vitamin D.

What do you mean by powerful? Are we mashing them together to see which is the strongest meat, my money's on chicken. Fish tends to be quite soft and squishy.

Protein bioavailability? I believe that's also chicken but I haven't looked at the numbers in a while.

The fish, having the greater ratio of acceleration to mass as compared to the chicken, must therefore also be the more powerful.

True, but clearly you've never slashed a chicken in Zelda. Unleashing hell's fury is also pretty powerful

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Well, fish will suffocate on land, and chickens will drown in water, so we can make them compete. Meat all by itself will just rot, and if offered to chicken or fish, in the their environs would be eaten by the chicken or the fish. So I suggest chicken or fish. Tho' rotting meat does have a very powerful smell. Hmm.....
