Oooo, look who’s so rich, they can afford eggs…
As an American, I can't afford eggs. 😔
And even if you could, you’d get RFKitis
Saw someone buying eggs the other day and asked them what they did for a living
"Egg broker"
I saw the ridiculous prices just after whatever bill that passed made them more expensive. Have the prices gotten worse or stayed the same?
Nice
Always eggs in the middle. Because when I pick it up I always want the center of the weight to be in the same place. If all the weight is to one side and I grab the opposite side I'm more likely to drop it. Yes this is how I live my life, by overanalyzing everything.
That's the same reason that I do the opposite - I take an equal number from each end, so the remaining eggs are centered in the carton, so I'm never surprised by a carton that's unbalanced in an unexpected direction.
I think we do the same thing. I meant I leave eggs in the middle I pull from the outside edges.
You at least have to keep it symetrical.
Amateurs.

husbears?
Had to look it up XD Just regular papa and mama bear with cubs :)
Eegan bo beegan I'm vegan
2 ounces of plain applesauce is one egg for simple baking recipes
Almost out, picking up three more cartons tomorrow from my supplier of eggs from free range, grass fed, goat harassed happy hens.
The cartons are usually whatever my supplier happen to have there and then. Pretty standard egg cartons as sold at the store.
I usually use pairs as it's fastest to mentally intuit how many eggs remain that way.
Lol "goat harassed", time stamped and everything lmao
A couple of goats share the same forest as the hens. And knowing goats, there's bound to be some harassment involved.
We have backyard chickens. The huge one was a double yoker and delicious 😋
For a second I thought you had some kind of crazy triangular egg carton until I realized it was just foreshortening.
Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:
XX
OO
OO
OO
OO
OO
I face the heavier side toward the door so that I will have the majority of the weight in my hand as I pick it up.
Currently full, but I work my way in from the outside corners to the inside by the hinge so it is balanced when I pick it up one handed. It might be slightly lopsided because I always pull multiple eggs next to each other with one hand, but mostly centered.
So it frequently looks something like this:
Normally like this, but we ate them all yesterday.
Any particular reason for the markers on the eggshell?
It's the dates they're laid!
Id be cautious about using sharpies on eggs. The shell is pourous. It looks like you're using a regular pen. You're probably fine but we avoid out of an abundance of caution
pencil would probably work
I remove eggs opposite each other (front right, rear left and so on) so that it remains level for weight and balance. My partner doesn’t subscribe to my logic and just sprays a machine gun of bullets around the carton, grabbing whatever like she’s blindfolded. It’s not a hill I wanna die on, so I don’t say anything.
I have 4 eggs left and they're all right in the middle, 2 in the top row, 2 in the bottom row, to create balance in the flimsy container they came in.
I don't use eggs like that, but my housemate does. Looks like they take em from the carton one row at a time, the carton currently looks like:
1 1 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0
I normally eat scrambled eggs for breakfast so I always grab two at a time. So next time I make breakfast I'll grab the next eggs from the right side.
Checkerboard! Keeps it level if I keep the pattern.
I did once replaced half the brown eggs with white eggs and visa versa to screw with my partner. It didn't work. I was just weird.
Of all the things I could have been embarrassed about today I was not expecting this
I always remove the eggs in the Fibonacci sequence first until I run out of indices, and then I remove them in order by index.
Bunch of rich people or non Americans on here.
No clue why, but I always work from the outside edges and work into the center.
