The chicken you are eating has increased 364% in size over the last 50 years. Here is what this means for your health. THREAD 🧵

SummaryModern chickens have grown 364% larger over 50 years due to the 1948 'Chicken of Tomorrow Contest,' which prioritized size and speed of growth over taste and nutrition. Today's chickens are slaughtered at 47 days as oversized baby birds fed high-carb diets of corn and soy, resulting in bland, nutritionally inferior meat compared to pasture-raised alternatives.Apr 16, 202227 tweets♥ 169K

Jaguar just made the most expensive mistake of 2024. They spent millions on a rebrand that erased 100 years of heritage. Even Elon Musk is publicly mocking them. Here's the fascinating reason behin...

SummaryJaguar's 2024 rebrand completely erased 100 years of heritage by removing the iconic leaping jaguar, adopting an abstract futuristic aesthetic with no cars shown, and targeting ultra-luxury buyers instead of existing customers—a strategy that backfired spectacularly with widespread mockery and 50% sales decline. The case demonstrates that brands can't manufacture relevance by abandoning their core identity and heritage, and that authentic storytelling and personal connections matter more than bold but alienating rebranding.Nov 22, 202419 tweets♥ 159K

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. T...
