Assuming you mean chicken egg, and not just eggs (which @Sanctus@anarchist.nexus points out are much older than chickens) then it’s really a philosophical question. Does the egg belong to the hen or the chick? If it belongs to the hen, then the chicken chick came out of a proto-chicken egg, else the chicken’s egg came before it did.

Very weird of me to comment 2 weeks in the making, but this comment gave me a worm brain for some reason, like I’m RFK or something. Based on the idea that something is solar powered if it has any involvement with the sun at all, I wondered if I could think of a way to tie all non-solar powered sources to the sun.

• Tidal used solar tides, but non-tidal hydro can also be solar power if you consider that earth was formed in Sol’s accretion disk and water likely comes from comets pulled into the solar SOI (none of this is researched, just off the dome, no clue whether my yr 10 astrophysics is either outdated or completely misremembered)
• ergo, the use of earth’s gravity to power turbines via waterfalls etc is also solar power.
• Originally, I thought I had a gotcha with nuclear power, bc uranium DEFINITELY doesn’t have anything to do with Sol, no trees involved. But, because it uses water, you can use the same logic as hydro
• even for Voyager, which afaik just uses the heat directly sans water, you can say that the uranium itself was first attracted to Sol’s SOI before either being deposited on earth by asteroids or included in the accretion disk during earth’s formation. (tangentially, not sure how you make a fission reactor without steel, which uses organic hydrocarbons. Titanium?)
• The formation of the earth also allows attributing thermal and wind power to Sol.

As a result of me realising I’m wrong despite desperately thinking I was right, I’ve decided to dedicate all 3 rubles in my possession to develop a power plant that only uses cosmic rays and other interstellar radiation (as well as neutrinos if I’m allowed to say they’re not really captured by the solar gravity well despite having mass, which I’m pretty sure I won’t be allowed to do :c ) as well as fund interstellar colonisation efforts so that we can have extra-solar sun power, maybe hawking radiation and other fun stuff too. Escape the tyranny of the sun with me, brethren! Forego local Dyson-Swarms in favour of non-solar fossil fuels!

*stellar, not solar, the carbon in coal wasn’t formed by our sun but a different star far in the past

This is pedantic, but I don’t think an equal tax would be fair at all. I take equal to mean everyone pays the same absolute amount, eg $10 a year. It wouldn’t be fair to make a newborn baby with $0 to their name pay $10. Similarly, it wouldn’t be fair to make a multi billionaire only pay $10, because they relatively cost more and benefit more from the infrastructure, institutions, economy and every other part of society; taxes of course contribute to funding that society. Sorry the paragraph where a sentence might’ve sufficed. Think that all the semantics I’m allowed to argue about on the internet for this week.
