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.

Balance is everything, I don't want the carton to flip on me cause the eggs are placed randomly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I kind of have both, just learn to enjoy the beauty of symmetry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

OMG, I do this too!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

not autistic but I picked up a very unbalanced egg carton once and realized we shouldn't have unbalanced egg cartons. it's just sensible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

There's another way to egg?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

And if you are left with a prime number of eggs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is why eggs should be sold in packs of 15

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

2 is a prime. I think you meant odd.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Of course, how could I forget about the oddest prime!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Always removed in two, there are. No more. No less.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

I do this too for weight distribution, but I don't make sure it's symmetrical. I'm worried someone in my family will be surprised by the uneven weight of the carton when they pull it off the shelf and drop it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have! I'd have to buy three of them though just to cook a small breakfast for the people sleeping in my house tonight. I'm usually making breakfast for six.

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I usually create checkered patterns to keep a consistent weight balance and keep box strength strength against external force evenly spread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks 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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

now kick your egg balancing autism into high gear to start balancing electrons on atoms to discover new elements.

or balance the number of molecules to create a new type of crystal that cures cancer.

or...you get the picture.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They clearly don’t get any other picture. No one balances eggs… EVER

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I balance eggs...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I first heard of this a couple years ago on a reddit post. It had never occurred to me to think that an egg carton should be balanced, or to expect an egg carton to be balanced when I pick it up.

I still don't worry about the balance, but I get it.

I don't even take them out of the same lateral side of the carton, just pick at random

You'll bring chaos into your house rumba!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I have a teen and a tween, we are at max entropy already

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Huh... I do this too. I like the box to be balanced when I take it outta the fridge.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

How are you going to rearrange the eggs when you take out the next egg?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

you take out another egg

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Start from the corners one at a time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I do this because the weight distribution is even so i don’t drop the carton when grabbing it out of the fridge again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

Or you just put the heavy end facing the door of the refrigerator so you always are picking up the heavy end and not the empty end. It should be that way anyways if you're putting the eggs in the fridge because you'd also want to be holding the stable end of the carton and not the empty side.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I used to do it that way but other people in the house dont so I’ve switched to spreading it out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

But what if all the ends are stable and there is no empty side?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you don't have teenagers that are taking eggs from the carton to make scrambled eggs at 10pm. They happen to put the eggs back in correctly because they need the sturdy side to handle them. I don't need to teach them fractal patterns to take eggs out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Lol yeah... I'm sure it was hard enough to get them to do it this way 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

I do that all the time. The eggs MUST BE balanced.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

T'was the tism m'lord

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

This is the way!
