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.

Ngl I'm too lazy to do this and just take eggs out from right to left. I always put the carton back in the fridge the same way so the weight is always on the end I grab.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are you a lefty? (Left-handed, I assume you're politically Left because you're here)

[–] ViperActual@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Lol nah I'm right handed. But to get the geometry right, my fridge is on the right side of the kitchen, and the door hinge is on the right. So the eggs stay on the left side of the fridge closest to the rest of the kitchen counter tops. So the carton comes out and goes back in the same orientation using my right hand. Meaning I'm always grabbing the heavy side with the eggs.

I'm still careful anytime I'm grabbing the carton just in case, but so far no dropped eggs in the house

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago

So you always have to take a multiple of two eggs? Well it’s unarguably visually pleasing

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

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

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago

When I eat grapes, I like to eat two at a time, and end with an even number. I throw away the last grape if it's not an even number. Why? #JustAutieThings.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

When it must be inbalanced due to the number of eggs, as long as the extra weight is towards the hinge then it retains the safety benefits of being balanced.

Since I get eggs while holding the carton I tend to take from the 'outside' row first, starting at the ends, and work my way into the center by the hinge. This puts the weight in the hand I'm using to hold the carton and works well even for 18 and 24 count cartons. If I set the carton down before yoinking eggs, I would go for more balance.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I've never seen a pack smaller than 2x3. I buy at least two dozen a week. I make sure partial cartons are weight balanced though.

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!

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 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!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It makes the carton easier to handle and less likely to tear and drop.

[–] SaintOwlPizza25@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

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

Why do this.

[–] snf@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Whoa look at Mr moneybags here, flexing with an 18 eggs container

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Per egg it is cheaper than buying the dozen.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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")
[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

buys the entire US egg industry

technically cheaper than buying cartons

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 6 days ago

Symmeggrical

[–] ModestCrab@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 days ago

Huh, maybe I should give it a try…..

[–] raod_guitar@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

I always take them out symmetrically and front row first, if possible.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 points 6 days ago

Apparently seating on aircraft is allocated similarly.

[–] Prime_Minister_Keyes@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Cool. Now if you were to stack these eggs in 3D, would you create an hcp or an fcc lattice?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[–] datendefekt@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I take supplements in the evening and it 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.

[–] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca -1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

Is ADHD supposed to be a social coping mechanism?

This whole sub is just bunch of folks complaining about habits…

Why is this an ADHD thing? Other folks have habits yet spare the world from suffering their internal mechanisms… Is ADHD just forcing others to hear your habits?
