Or worse: attempting to legalize that the kind of boots you wear are the only ones that can stomp

In "Gulliver's Travels," specifically in the land of Lilliput, the two tribes, or factions, are primarily in conflict over a political dispute regarding the proper way to break eggs.

I don't care how you break them, but you MUST remove them in an alternating pattern that keeps the carton balanced, rather than leaving a bunch of heavy eggs in one end.

Woah, I never thought of this...

This is one of my favorite *-pills to drop on people.

Not only is it better for balance - you never have a carton fumble and drop - but it's also mildly mentally-stimulating. Removing eggs goes from being a rote task to one where you get to solve a tiny, satisfying puzzle with each move.

You're welcome

Egg eugenics at its finest.

I do that too... you're talking about real eggs, right? This seems a little metaphorical. But why is it a -pill ?

Haha yes very much real eggs. It might be a bit metaphorical, but also real.

The pill part? I dunno, just vibes I guess yaknow? Carton-pattern-pilling

Carton pattern 😂

I always put them back in the fridge heavy end OUT so 'no surprises' but your way is (even?) smarter

At least you have some kind of system!

The majority choosing*

So if we don't like it we can go fuck ourselves I guess 🤡 🌍
