Ah...creationism vs evolution. Though obviously believing in the latter, I picked the former for Splatfest out of studying the reactions of people and their experiences (yes, I know, I'm a Dirty Coward when it comes to these things). That, and if creationism were the truth, we wouldn't have byproducts from our bodies and things would be a lot better.

More specifically it depends on whether you define a chicken egg as an egg laid by a chicken or an egg that hatches into a chicken. Most people think of the egg as being "obviously" one of those (most commonly, but not universally, "egg that hatches into a chicken") and so think of the question as having an objective answer.

Chicken was the official winner last time around, and so the egg legally must be laid by the chicken.

After several weeks I've finally beaten Inner Agent 3.

EDIT: Actually, almost a month, albeit I wasn't really playing for most of it.

Here's a reminder from the Squid Research Lab: The Chicken vs. Egg Splatfest rematch starts this Friday.

Just like last time, I will be on team Egg.

Spreading the word of this because it's absolutely disgusting what this person has been doing for years now.

GitGudNami, the guy behind some of the more popular and memetic Splatoon comics in the fanbase, has just been outed as a pedophile/child groomer with proper screenshot proof.

I did a little bit of Normal Mode last night, and some Pro Mode this afternoon. After my first 7 pro mode matches, I ended up with an Egg Power of 1781.8, and have been trending upward, although I'm almost even on win/loss record against Team Chicken. I'll finish making my way to King rank later this evening.

I'm on Team Egg, and I seem to be fighting a lot of Egg vs Egg battles. I guess the Eggs are much more popular than the Chickens.

On the other hand, Team Chicken seems to have a disproportionately high number of maniacs who consistently get splat in the double digits.

Nice to know that even after the end of the world Mario stuff still survived! Though knowing the Inklings they might think it was all true

......Oh no. What if Splatoon is the future of the Mario universe!?

Splatoon is the bad future of Sunshine, when Bowser Junior accidentallies his magic brush and sets off WW3, with 4 and 5 following after that.

I just bought Splatoon 2 for $50. I never had much success with gyro control when playing Metro or Wolfenstein, so I'm gonna need a lot of practice.

Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to, although I'll also say that once you do, playing other console shooters feels imprecise by comparison.
