For those that don't read Japanese, that says tamago which is Japanese for egg. It also sounds like time ago. That's the joke

Why do you only need one egg in French cooking?

Because in French, one egg is un oeuf

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
