american eggs require fridging to reduce the chance of hideous disease

American eggs need much, much less refrigeration than people imagine. I learned this from a roommate who came from a small egg farm. The eggs were kept on top of the fridge in that apartment, and zero eggs went bad. Now, I refrigerate most of the eggs when I buy 5 dozen at a time, though.

e: We load balanced eggs when I was growing up, because that was how Mom did it. Why? She didn't know, so she asked her mother. The explanation was that our great-grandmother's fridge had a broken shelf.

No but you are legally required to cut the box in half and throw away the empty portion when youve used 6 of your 12 eggs.

LargeHadron: May 19, 2009; They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

I actually do do this, yeah. My thinking is always something like "if someone were to grab this by the end with one hand, will they be surprised by the odd center of gravity and drop it?"

But it's always just me grabbing the eggs, so this is really more about how I don't seem to trust the intelligence or reflexes of my future self.

cool(???) thing i just realised

the store near my apartment sells eggs in packs of 9 in a 3x3 square, and it turns out that it's possible for any number of eggs to be arranged symmetrically, which is not true of a pack of 6 eggs. look

...any odd number? Remember that symmetry along the horizontal axis is impossible if it has the standard egg carton hinge lid.

Why am I supposed to remember something that isn't true? I mean if you want to add that to the initial requirements, then sure.

i hope everyone with the egg diagrams isn�t just visually balancing the eggs, but actually weighing them to ensure a good distribution. won�t do you any good to create two symmetric rows of eggs if each of the eggs on one side weighs 10 grams more than the other side.

also lmao if you don't snack on those eggs and finish them off before you even get home from the grocery store. $1.50 hot dog and 3 dozen eggs is a nice little pick me up that u can get at your local Costco when it opens tomorrow at 10am and you should be able to "house" them before you get out of the parking lot

i dont re-arrange the eggs in the carton to load balance them but I do just grab random ones instead of going down the line. sometimes this leads to balanced loads, other times not.

It came out of an rear end without breaking, didn't it? Egg laying must be symmetric under time reversal otherwise we might as well throw all our physics textbooks out the window and start wearing top hats.
