-Easier birth control: Make the egg into an omelette

-Relaxed child support laws: Requires deliberate decision to incubate the egg

-Clean packaged periods: Egg = No mess!

Although, there would be stories about partners hiding fertilized eggs: Instead of unplanned parenthood we would have unconsensual parenthood

There’s probably more nuances I am missing. But do discuss it in the comments.

      If I had access to the human ones I’d have those for breakfast but until then I’m just going to be eating bird period on toast every morning :(

    No thank you. The eggs would have to be enormous to develop into a human baby, and laying one of those every month would suck.

    Yup. Eggs>livebirth. They’re also easier to expel because the shell helps it to slide through. Once you get it about 2/3rds of the way out, simply relaxing causes the rest to come out on its own. Still painful, but at least goes part of the way itself. Plus you don’t have to deal with a squirming, screaming creature wanting to gorge itself on your nutrient sacks while you’re trying to recover.

    Shock eggs are horrifying though. Yanno, when you thought your boyfriend pulled out and then you accidently commit infanticide.

    Edit: don’t ask what happens if the shell breaks while it’s still inside. You don’t wanna know. Be thankful you’re approaching this evolutionary step voluntarily and not due to natural evolution. Evolution sometimes decides that those kinds of questions aren’t worth bothering with. You’re lucky though. When the time comes, you’ll get to choose how you want your eggs done.

      The hard part of pushing out a baby is far less than 2/3 of the baby. Once you get past the shoulders they just slide out. And they are pretty slippery with all that amniotic fluid.

    That’s abortion, at least going by bird eggs.

    Much safer than whatever people did before abortion clinics, though!

        If by “fuc” you mean pushing cloaca at each other then yes they fuck. But for most bird species males don’t have a penis for penetration

      Ops focus on a singular “nicely packaged “ egg made me unable to consider anything else then bird eggs.

      I was so confused by your comment, i had to look it up.
