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

how do you know when someone abuses animals don't worry they never stop telling you

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.

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:
-
As an American, I can't afford eggs.
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.

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.

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.

XX
OO
OO
OO
OO
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.

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.

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

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?

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?
