Apparently, Patrick Stewart is coming back as Picard in a new Star Trek!

Does this mean we're finally getting some shows that are a. in the prime universe (not the reboot) and b. really, really in the prime universe? I like Disco just fine, but with those tech levels there is just no way it's the same universe as the main series, nor even the spinoff reboots.

I can't believe chicken diapers are a thing.

And yet, people evidently pay top dollar for them.

It's still bizarre. My brother kept pretty dwarf chicken as pets for a while, and was quite attached to them. Not to the point of dressing them in diapers though. I'm not sure they would have tolerated it either.

Listen, if there are people out there willing to shell out an hour's pay to diaper their chicken, who are you to stand in their way? What I want to know is this: is it too late to get in on this action?

[ratcreature]

At least the international market is still wide open. The organic hipster city chicken exists here (my brother had chicken enthusiast magazines, also an expensive chicken coop that still failed to protect them from becoming hawk food eventually, organic hemp bedding and so on), but I've seen no sign of any chicken diapers.
