Uhh, no? It’s the most watched thing in America by a wide, wide margin.

A zoo in Minnesota once shipped a camel to Alaska via FedEx.

My source for this info was a zoo employee. I neglected to ask him why the camel was shipped to Alaska. I presume it was being moved to another zoo.

I saw a dude leaving the post office today with a box of live baby chicks. He was walking very carefully and I held the door for him, but I didn't realize what the package was until I heard all the cheeping. It made me smile because while I knew that chicks can be sent through the mail, I'd never seen it before. I hope they all made it.

Well over actually. 57 dB greater than the threshold.

I some work a company that offered a technology that could measure impacts through foam or padding that can be used in helmets. Would help NFL learn about how hard the hits really are on the head. It was pitched to the NFL. They didn’t want anything to do with it.

And Highschools and Colleges around the country looked to them and their recommendations on how to handle concussions.

When you order a dozen, they send like 15 because they expect a certain proportion to be killed. It's pretty horrible.

It's unfortunate people don't feel the same way when seeing chicken nuggets

Oh God, not the beads!

Go to church every Sunday, listen to the pastor tell you who you should hate. Then catch a beer and the game, watch some kid wreck his life with a concussion. The bloodier and more brutal the sport, the better.

A Lmao is fully warranted here

We really like to worship a lot of evil shit over here.

Your evil overlords thank you for your contribution to their bottom line. And remember, ads are wholesome, players are young gods, and viewing is a family-friendly event!

Not giving your kids brain damage is probably a good long-term strategy for their success.

And America worships them for it!

I wouldn't think mma would have the same rates. In mma you get concussion and knock outs but not week after week like contact sports

>and have enough nutrients for 72 hours

Baby chicks have 72 hours of nutrients built into them when they hatch. That's why the process of shipping chicks the same day as they hatch works so well.

It would be a logistics nightmare shipping three-day-old chicks.

>Shipping chicks that young is really risky and most sadly don’t make it.

No, it's not risky, and yes, the overwhelming majority make it just fine.

my grandparents were looking to buy some chicks and I was shocked to find out they ship them with usps

I live for the day when a news article names a shithead politician as "this asshole" instead of "democratic" or "republican". Cause, you know, they're all assholes...

You can mail spiders too

Books do get beat up but that is mostly because shippers send them as media mail, our cheapest and slowest option, while not properly packaging them (little green plastic bags are the norm). If they shipped them as live animals, they'd have to pay way more than they currently do.

There is no distinction in how they are treated. Live animal means live animal.

The absolute, and I mean Disney villain level worst, is when the resident doesn't give the shipper a good phone number. We had one customer do that a few years ago, we called and called and called thinking the box just wasn't set up and they would pick up the phone eventually but they never did.

They have to be held at the post office because of the instructions on the box and expectation that the customer is going to pick them up ASAP. The entire box died before the customer got there 2 days later. Just wretched people.

Hard to take over the the capital city when they don't have one
