You need a perfect transfer of the kinetic energy to the chicken for that to hold, not a slap

i love fully inelastic chicken

[–] HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's the part that erks me the most. Ain't no way that chicken is staying together.

And no heat losses from slapping the chicken either
