I do the same. I like the Fediverse and want to help make it a nicer place, but I am too critical of the messages I think of sending. I often think of a message and then go "Nah that is pretty similar to what the other guy wrote, it won't add anything new". But maybe it makes sense just so you can see others have the same experience (other than looking at your upvotes) or maybe it makes sense because it will mean comments for bored people to read through. At least that is what I try to tell myself because otherwise I won't be writing many comments.

When I first saw this I thought it was one of the "intentional bad design" images that are common on Lemmy. I am disappointed.
Depends on your definition of "chicken egg". Language is defined by the way people use it and nobody (other than perhaps a few people in this thread) has ever bothered defining what a chiclen egg is: Is it an egg laid by a chicken or is it an egg that contains a chicken
When you go to the supermarket you call that a chicken egg because it was laid by a chicken, even if the egg is incapable of ever containing a chicken (at least from what I know you can't grow chickens from supermarket eggs) So arguably that means eggs laid by chickens are chicken eggs. But nobody has ever had to define whether an egg containing a chicken is also a chicken egg, even if the egg was not laid by a chicken. So if you don't define an egg laid by a proto-chicken to be a chicken egg then you would say that the chicken came before the egg.
