People of Lemmy, what does your egg carton look like? No fair changing the setup for the picture.

As an American, I can't afford eggs. 😔

And even if you could, you’d get RFKitis
Saw someone buying eggs the other day and asked them what they did for a living
- "Egg broker"
I saw the ridiculous prices just after whatever bill that passed made them more expensive. Have the prices gotten worse or stayed the same?
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?
- I just bought 2 dozen for $2.78 each.

Even after something like ~15 years of exposure to XKCD, I still get one of 10 thousand'd
I guess I'm neutral good when it comes to eggs.

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.

You at least have to keep it symetrical.
I also over analyze everything, which is why I always remove my eggs from the right side of the carton.
The left side of the carton is always towards me in the refrigerator, and I also always have the left side towards me on the counter.
As a result my first grab out of the fridge is always the most stable grab possible.
The way I figure it is, the most dangerous time is pulling it out of the fridge when I don't always remember where the eggs are and where I have to grab it from one end. I don't want to be surprised by it being heavy away from me.
Once I have it safely in my hand, I no longer have to consciously think about how to hold it, as that can all be done unconsciously.
- I have a wife and kid so I can't guarantee it goes back in how I want it to. But it's good you have a system.

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
- A couple of goats share the same forest as the hens. And knowing goats, there's bound to be some harassment involved.
Exactly how mine look except the cardboard is gray.

Nice

Amateurs.

(90-packs due to two bodybuilder household – amateurs, as in not professional :)

husbears?
- Had to look it up XD Just regular papa and mama bear with cubs :)

Eegan bo beegan I'm vegan

2 ounces of plain applesauce is one egg for simple baking recipes

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.

Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:

XX

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.

Exactly the same, except the reason is that the eggs at the back can freeze if the carton is pushed back in the fridge, so I work from the far end to near

I remove eggs opposite each other (front right, rear left and so on) so that it remains level for weight and balance. My partner doesn’t subscribe to my logic and just sprays a machine gun of bullets around the carton, grabbing whatever like she’s blindfolded. It’s not a hill I wanna die on, so I don’t say anything.

That is a hill I died on, and luckily everyone else in the household got in line so I didn't actually die. I do most of the baking, we're keeping that box balanced for me otherwise no more cookies damnit.

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-holder
- The design is very human

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!

I normally eat scrambled eggs for breakfast so I always grab two at a time. So next time I make breakfast I'll grab the next eggs from the right side.

but you grabbed 3?
- Guilty, your honor!
- In my defence, I was super hungry.

Mine is chaos. I purposely grab them at random.

Monster.
- All beauty is born in chaos.

I always remove the eggs in the Fibonacci sequence first until I run out of indices, and then I remove them in order by index.

Checkerboard! Keeps it level if I keep the pattern.

I did once replaced half the brown eggs with white eggs and visa versa to screw with my partner. It didn't work. I was just weird.

My eggs are notarized homie, $10 each.

I have 4 eggs left and they're all right in the middle, 2 in the top row, 2 in the bottom row, to create balance in the flimsy container they came in.

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
0 0 0 0 0 0

I normally do 1/3 from first end (start at the right hand end), then start at the other end

Back 3 rows are full, front row is empty. Can't be effed to balance em.

Of all the things I could have been embarrassed about today I was not expecting this

No clue why, but I always work from the outside edges and work into the center.

Why do companies refuse to tessellate their eggs?! You could have 3x rows of 3-4-3 for 10 eggs, 5-6-5 for 16 eggs or 7-8-7 for a 22-pack.

I'm assuming they want extra cushioning and don't want the complexity that would bring. Maybe there would be issues where they would fall into each other's pits and get stuck or smash into eggs beneath.
