Every best part of this TL starts as a joke. I kind of want to do the lore of Meat Mountain now. I shall include it in the Oswald's Acolyte chapter on Thomas.
"It's the name of the ranch, dammit, not the 10,000 pound formless meat creature that lives in our Hell Gate packing plant. I mean, that DOESN'T live there, 'cuz that's RIDICULOUS. AND WE CAN PROVE IT IN A COURT OF LAW."
*In court later* "Your honor, I WISH I owned a five ton potbelly meatgoblin made of pulsing blobs of succulent, steroidal flesh sacs. I don't know a farmer who doesn't think that would be a Jev-send. So let's say, just supposin' now, that we WERE to own such a creature. Now, what laws would that actually break, if it were to break any, just supposin' now, as a thought exercise?"
*suitsoiling sphincter spew*
"TARNATION, THEM PANAMANIAN MUDSLIDES COMIN' MY WAY AGAIN, DADGUMMIT."
Fun fact: my joke is based on an ACTUAL OTL urban legend about KFC having a singularity chicken that infinitely produces m e a t. Lmao
The government did not force KFC to stop using the word 'chicken' because they serve meat from mutant, eight-legged animals.
