Yeah fuck it, let’s not bother gaining any more understanding of human biological function. Shut down the labs boys, we’re done here.

UK here. Quite a rural area in the mid-90s, and worlds away from US gun culture, but one time our school was playing rugby against another rival school and a lad brought in a .22 air rifle and shot one of their players in the ass from the edge of the pitch. It was hilarious for those not involved, kid got a telling off and may have been briefly suspended, but thinking about how that would have been reported these days it would probably have caused national outrage.

I am. And this amounts to selective censorship.

I don’t think there is one. The Impressia app (iOS) does though.

Absurd take

The fridge egg holder is for keeping hard boiled eggs, not raw ones.

That’s an interesting observation, I hadn’t thought of that. Although the day I consider pre-boiling eggs for later consumption is the day I give up on the illusion of youth.

No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.

I put them in the fridge… On top of the egg holder … In their box

Absolute madman

It’s what’s going in the appliance I’m asking about, not the appliance itself.

To be honest, I live rurally and there’s no shortage of roadside eggs available from nearby farms. A lot of them actually stock local shops, including the bigger chains where I live, because there’s an overall community preference to buy local where possible.

In terms of flavour, that’s actually something that’s recommended by at least one celebrity chef here, who suggests not putting them in the fridge so that they don’t absorb tastes and smells from other foods within.

James Martin’s egg opinion

Yeah I know, that’s why I was focusing on UK egg-fanciers.

Yeah that doesn’t really apply to eggs though, their “container” is unopened. Otherwise your fridge will get messy.

But yeah, obviously I’m gonna put stuff in the fridge that would go off once the seal has been broken.

This’ll blow your mind, but I actually put the box on top of the fridge. It makes sense in my kitchen layout, but I understand how much of fridge-tease it is for them.

Refrigerating eggs also roughly doubles their shelf life.

Yeah that’s fair enough, although they already last for ages. “Can’t wait to eat these eggs in a month”.

Still one too many pieces of packaging for my liking. Put the OG egg holder in the fridge. The chicken.

Yeah you’re right, I should really be more invested in global egg storage.

I think this is bordering on becoming an absurd discussion on the validity of demographics, which I’m not really interested in.

Besides which, the last time a whole US population was polled about something, they decided to make the worst possible decision, so my interest in US opinion is even less today.

Apart from pretty much every single supermarket

It answers the question as to why I limited it to the UK. Advice for eggs from non-vaccinated hens is to refrigerate them. So in a country that doesn’t vaccinate, the proportion of refrigerated eggs will be much higher than a country where it isn’t necessarily advised, and the decision comes down to personal choice. That’s what I’m interested in.

Because in countries that don’t vaccinate their chickens (like the US) the risk of salmonella is much higher so the recommendation is that eggs should be refrigerated to reduce bacteria growth.
