Oh, and Jones was there too.

Do they still come included with easter eggs?

I have one, but I mostly use it for dipping sauces or holding small amounts of salt.

Weirdass egg essentialism going on here

Softboiled: with buttered toast for breakfast, in an egg cup ofc
Hard boiled: for dinner with a ham or other meaty sandwich
Fried (sunny side up): sunday treat. Also with bacon if we're feeling fancy
Scrambled: three of them with extra poo poo (cheese, veggies...) if you want a full meal
Poached: order at a restaurant because it's hard (please by all means I invite 20 people to jump in screaming IT'S SUPER EASY I POACH EGGS EVERY DAY)

These things make reasonable poached eggs in the microwave. I like poached eggs on toast and this is the only way I can do it.

No, because this is a purchasable product that would do the job well. The life hack would be instructions on how to build a non-functional replica of this out of random garbage and hot glue.

Well, all right then.

I'm probably not properly poaching my eggs, but the only easier method for making eggs I've come across is to eat them raw.

Put pan on burner, with about half an inch of water. Add a dollop of vinegar, set to high heat.
Crack intended number of eggs (usually 2 for me ) into measuring cup for easy pouring.
Once roiling boil achieved, turn off heat, let bubbling settle a bit, pour in eggs, one yolk at a time.
Cover and set timer for 4 minutes.(At least, that's what works for my electric burner stove.)
Scoop out with slotted spoon.

I used to really like a soft-boiled egg. Egg cups are necessary in order to scrap out all the egg from inside.

Shotglasses do work too, though.

I just don't use the cup for soft-boiled eggs. I used to play oboe as a child, so I suppose I possess an above average sense of accuracy when it comes to doing things with my fingers, and I can gently scrape out the whole egg with a spoon without ever breaking the shell (bar taking off the top to get the spoon in, obviously). I never suspected it was a unique skill, but now I feel more powerful than ever. Going to have a cheeky night egg before bed to foster this previously unknown feeling.

Back to what started eggchat, though, why the spoon at all? Why not just discard the shell before you eat it?

You lick the spoon, dip it in some salt, boom, a perfectly seasoned piece of egg every time. Plus, you might dip something into the yoke before eating the rest of the egg, and then a spoon is the only option, really.

Agreed, that is not that much effort. But it's still more effort than hot pan -> pinch of butter -> crack egg into pan -> flip -> breakfast. Mornings are very hard for some people. I like to do "breakfast for dinner" now and then with all the bells and whistles, but in the actual morning I usually have black coffee, butter toast, and a fruit or cup of yogurt because I can't be hosed to do anything more. A fried or scrambled egg means I must have been extra perky that day.

The real reason I never poach eggs at home is that the only dish I ever crave with poached eggs is eggs benedict. I am not making hollandaise/bearnaise at 9AM, even on a weekend. You find a good diner/cafe that has eggs benny that are always on point, you got a real breakfast gem. The sauce and the poached egg are both both fairly delicate procedures in a hectic kitchen slinging hash and griddling up a couple dozen pancakes, eggs, and salted meats all at the same time. If the eggs benny are always good, you know they got everything else locked down. Take people there and everyone will be really happy about their meal.

This is my lifehack on how to find a good breakfast diner. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Eggs benny are where it's at. Now a days ot seems like you can't just get regular eggs benny. Everywhere has like poached salmon with arugula, or sausage on a biscuit with white gravy.

What the loving is wrong with people, they're treating it like pizza with no rules.

You mean like the Rollie Eggmaster? The fleshlight that makes an egg hotdog, and slowly poops the eggdog out of its hole when finished? Like watching your dog pinch off a loaf in the backyard but then you pick up the poop and make a breakfast sandwich with it???

A fried or scrambled egg means I must have been extra perky that day.

One of the reasons I stopped frying for the quasi-poaching method was because of laziness: I'd generally still have to pay attention to the egg (either to flip it, or know when to remove it from the covered pan). The poaching method gives me the consistency I want on schedule.

That said, yeah, eggs are going to be an "I have more time" breakfast; at the very least, I'm going to fry some bread, pour some salsa on it, and drop the poached egg on top.
