Everyone now watches short videos to pass the time when they have nothing to do, and various food videos are the most popular category. I also often watch videos where eggs are used in ingredients. It is true that many authors deliberately use "hen eggs" or "male eggs", but this matter is actually not that confusing. Let's answer it below. This issue’s topic: Why do some people call eggs “hen eggs” and “male eggs”?

Among all the dioecious creatures on our planet, almost all females are fertile. This is basic common sense, so our common sense tells us that "roosters cannot lay eggs." It is redundant to add the word "mother" to the name "hen egg", so it is not surprising that the expressions in some food videos are difficult to understand.

If the reasons for these seemingly redundant statements need to be explained in detail, there are probably only the following three situations that can make sense. Improving video interactivity

In fact, the emergence of this topic has already shown that those video authors who deliberately refer to eggs as "hen eggs" or "male eggs" have succeeded, and their purpose has been achieved. Achieved, the reason is very simple. The reason why I say that is to attract comments and attention.

The recommendation algorithms for video content on many platforms are based on the amount of observations, viewing progress, likes, reposts, comments, etc. Generally speaking, the higher the amount of these data, the more likely a video will be The greater the recommendation. Therefore, when people hear the words "hen eggs" and "rooster eggs" mentioned in the video for the first time, they will be more likely to comment and reply, such as "Can roosters still lay eggs?" and so on. Most likely, watch the video in its entirety just to see if the author has any other "slips of the tongue." In fact, for video producers, if these small slip-of-the-tongue content can be exchanged for an increase in the number of effective comments, allowing viewers to watch it patiently, and thereby increasing the number of food video recommendations, then it is very cost-effective. 2. Imitation for reasons of humor and fun

Everyone should still remember the somewhat "brainwashing" line Ms. Song Dandan gave in a sketch on a Spring Festival evening one year: "The egg-laying rooster is the fighter among roosters. Oh yeah!" This kind of very popular, simple and easy-to-understand humor is very suitable for communication. This is just like square dance. Although there are not many conditions such as artistry and beauty, they are easy to learn and conducive to dissemination. Especially when other food video creators find that this can also increase views, more imitators will inevitably appear.

And eggs are extremely cheap, easy to obtain and nutritious. Basically, the first meals many people try to cook are egg fried rice, tomato scrambled eggs and the like, so eggs are Very common and common ingredient. So attaching this extremely simple and popular little humor to eggs, which is very popular, is a simple, easy-to-understand and conducive choice for the spread of food videos. 3. According to folk customs in some places, eggs are divided into "male and female".

We mentioned that almost all animals reproduce from females, and the same is certainly true for animals like chickens. The egg itself is an egg cell, and chicks are hatched from the eggs. But not all eggs can hatch into chicks. Eggs must be fertilized by a rooster before they can hatch into chicks. Some laying hen factories raise individual eggs without a chance to fertilize the eggs.

So in some places, those that have been fertilized by roosters and can hatch chicks are called "hen eggs", and those that are not fertilized and cannot hatch chicks are called "male eggs". egg".
