Not you too ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The truth is

When I was a kid, I grew up in a small town that had a very specific (and potentially VERY local) Easter tradition called "Egg Pocking". Some folks also called it "Egg Knocking" but they lived in big houses.

There was a contest on the Town Hall lawn and it was against the rules to use the bottom (or fat side) of the egg against the top (or pointy) side.

So, I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree, friend.

I disagree

Go set an egg on a table. Then we can talk. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pointy = front

Fat = back

That's the way they come out. But the chick's head is on the top

We're not talking about what's inside of an egg, are we?

I'm talking about the Egg, as a whole. How you store it, fat side up, defines the top for me.

And also that's how I put them in my egg cooker. Cracking the air bubble makes peeling it super easy.

You literally have to restrain them to have your "top" but okay.

Yeah, the top is where the air bubble is.

Inconclusive ๐Ÿค”

I guess the left side is the top.

That is very much a conclusion.

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Now put it in water and see which side is the top.

That just determines where the air bubble is.

The top, exactly.

๐Ÿ˜‚ Nothing landbound stays upright in water.

We can always put effort into developing an aquatic chicken theory. I'm not opposed to that.

๐Ÿ’ฏ this is worth exploring.

I think I'm going to have aquatic chicken for lunch.

๐Ÿคฃ The only aquatic chicken that matters.

I float head up, that's where the air bubble is.

Do not. But I'll pass because that's funny.

Literally me

There's a poop joke in here... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

If I don't fart sometimes I'll level out, true.

Lefties are always bottoms

My son disagrees.

I think a disagreement on this topic is healthy. If you can disagree about eggs in a peaceful way, maybe you can disagree about other things without going to war.

Never forget the egg war of 1994.

My son knows no peace.

When the egg is leaving the chicken, it says, "alright, imma head out", and then it leaves pointy end first.

It's just a matter of whether it's going out forwards or backwards.

Technically the air cell is located in the fatter end, and people store eggs to protect the air cell. Wide part down. So the skinny part is the top.

Growing up raising chickens, we always stored eggs fat side up, so the air bubble was at the top, and the eggs would last longer.

That is interesting. I wonder why they package them the other way then. You mean Big Egg doesn't care about our egg quality and freshness?

This is true.

If they did they wouldn't wash the protective coating off of them. Farm eggs, stored correctly, last weeks without refrigeration.

Yeah I know. I live in CR. My eggs sit on the shelf, not in the fridge.

I'm in Canada. I was surprised when I moved into the city and had to keep them in the fridge. On the farm we just kept them in the cellar. I still flip them right side up like Granny taught me though ๐Ÿ˜‚

Tail first.

Ok I think you missed the "head out" joke.

I did lol
