  I remember my sister dropping the last of the eggs casue one side was heavy. She was so upset.

  Why do this.

  I guess a three-egg omelette is out of the question then

    Per egg it is cheaper than buying the dozen.

      For regular commodity eggs, the cost per egg is exactly the same between 12 and 18 packs (at least at my grocery store). However, with eggs being so expensive, I’ve started treating them as a luxury good, and so I took a look and noticed that the prices of the fancy eggs haven’t increased nearly as much (on a percentage basis) as the basic commodity eggs. I’ve also noticed that with the fancy eggs, you actually do get a small volume discount for buying 18 instead of 12. Therefore, the skyrocketing egg prices have actually caused me to buy fancier eggs and more of them at a time, LOL!

      Before:

      • 12 normal eggs: $1
      • 18 normal eggs: $1.50
      • 12 fancy eggs: $4+ ( 4x “normal” too much of a price premium)

      Now:

      • 12 normal eggs: $5
      • 18 normal eggs: $7.50
      • 18 fancy eggs: $10 (1.33x “normal,” a small enough premium to say “might as well get the better quality”)

  I keep the eggs away from the corners, most likely to get damaged imo

  I only buy boxes of 2x2. I suppose the only way is to get all four out at the same time.

  • doingthestuff@lemy.lol ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I’ve never seen a pack smaller than 2x3. I buy at least two dozen a week.

  I do this all the time but for some reason don’t feel compelled to drag the entire internet through my process to make feel better every time…

  Why is this an ADHD thing? Other folks go through it and spare the world from suffering their internal mechanisms…

  Is ADHD just forcing others to hear your shortcomings?

  For me I have to take them out in an even number otherwise I will have a feeling that is going to hang onto me until I rectify it ASAP.

  Also they must be taken out from one specific side and not the other. The balance must be maintained!

  The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens? I mean, even decimal months make more sense

  • Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    EVEN NUMBERS ONLY! 15? Are you fucking kidding me? They come in 6, 12, or 18, or those big 30 squares. EVEN NUMBERS!

    Who packs them in odd must suffer the wrath of the gods of the autists

  Cool. Now riddle me this: If you were to stack these eggs in 3D, would you create an hcp or an fcc lattice?

  Tend to get eggs in a box of six: front corners first, then the rear corners and then the centre eggs.

  I’m not in America so my eggs can live outside the fridge, it’s mostly about making sure someone doesn’t knock the box and crack an egg accidentally.

  Perhaps this person would be better employed as a tanker mate; that’s bang-on distribution to avoid hogging or bowing.

  I take supplements in the evening and i got so boring taking out the pills from top to bottom, left to right. So now I’m doing various patterns, usually symmetric.

  Thanks, now I feel not quite so absurd.
