This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn't evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.

I do this! If I'm the one cooking, I'm cooking eggs in pairs so there's never an odd number too.

Maybe I'm not autistic enough... But what do you do when there's an odd number of eggs left?

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Zig zag them.

TIL: I have autism.

Why would you ever want your eggs to be asymmetrical if you could help it? Eggs are fragile and symmetry promotes greater carton balance

"Balanced, as all things should be."

I keep all the eggs at the end that's facing out, where I grab it. Less leverage on the carton.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

More eggs in hand.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

What if you only wanted one egg?

Me: sorry, that's just not possible.

[–] Shave_MyBeever@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

To be fair, even weight distribution will lessen the chances for someone grabbing the empty end and having the heavy end droop the carton causing eggs to fall on the floor (this is a lessons learned) 🥚

The only correct way to remove eggs, duh

[–] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I do similar but take out the outer corner ones first because they're the most likely to get knocked in the fridge :P

[–] pizzazzie@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

oh shit… i do the same thing 😭😭

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Fuck. I sorta do this. Not our of some need for symmetry, but so it's center of gravity is as close to the center of the carton as possible. Dropping eggs sucks.
