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.

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.

I've never done this before, but as soon as I saw it I realized I've been doing things so wrong. If I can ever afford eggs again, I'll do this.

[–] pizzazzie@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

oh shit… i do the same thing 😭😭

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

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Zig zag them.

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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."

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago

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

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) 🥚

[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

TIL: I have autism.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

More eggs in hand.

The only correct way to remove eggs, duh

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

What if you only wanted one egg?

Me: sorry, that's just not possible.

[–] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours 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
