US chicken companies pioneered restricting sleep to keep birds eating around the clock.

A new study (Li et al., 2026) recommends giving chickens just 2 hours of darkness nightly to maximize the time they spend eating. The study and photo are Chinese.

We know chickens have far better hapiness with 7–8 hours of darkness to sleep.

But they eat more and grow faster when they are sleep deprived.

    This is just plainly incorrect. Humans have been shit long before capitalism came about. This is like claiming rape wasn’t a thing until [insert thing here] came about.

    Capitalism is shit for so many reasons, you don’t need to make things up to show that.
