Oooo, look who’s so rich, they can afford eggs…
Nice

Even after something like ~15 years of exposure to XKCD, I still get one of 10 thousand’d

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

Saw someone buying eggs the other day and asked them what they did for a living
“Egg broker”
And even if you could, you’d get RFKitis
The eggs have gone back to 5 bucks a dozen where I’m at, at least in the store I was last in. Still haven’t bothered getting any recently, but they’re not at like, 8 or 9 like they were at the same store a month or two ago. Not sure if that’s a change in the bird flu situation or if they’ve just been pushed down with some kind of subsidy or something.
That’s crazy. I paid 2.80€ for 12 the other day. And that were the higher quality ones
Was 5 bucks a regular price in the US?
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
We use this thing instead of the carton.
Let me guess, European? Or at least not from US
Yes, European :)
But the egg dispenser is something I once 3d printed when it was still a hobby.
Can’t seem to find the original design anymore though.edit
Oh, I think it’s this one: https://www.printables.com/model/70036-fridge-spiral-egg-holderEuropean because we can keep the eggs outside the fridge
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:
This is the way.
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.
I had to read your comment to realize it wasn’t some cool home-chicken-owner egg holder.
I think the combination of strong foreshortening, the unexpected extreme size differences of the eggs, and maybe the half carton many of us are less used to, makes this the eggbox version of one of those ‘mystery houses’ where things are warped in sone strange way that it fools you into thinking things roll uphill and such.
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
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.
