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.

I do this because the weight distribution is even so i don’t drop the carton when grabbing it out of the fridge again
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.
But what if all the ends are stable and there is no empty side?
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.
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.
How are you going to rearrange the eggs when you take out the next egg?
you take out another egg
Start from the corners one at a time.
T’was the tism m’lord
I do that all the time. The eggs MUST BE balanced.
I guess a three-egg omelette is out of the question then
I think with this carton you can get a weight-balanced arrangement for any number of eggs except one and seventeen. So whatever you do at the start and end of the carton, it better involve at least two eggs
Balance is everything, I don’t want the carton to flip on me cause the eggs are placed randomly
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.
Whoa look at Mr moneybags here, flexing with an 18 eggs container
Per egg it is cheaper than buying the dozen.
it’s just sensible. if you take from one end, you run the risk of unexpectedly grabbing the ‘light end’ and accidentally dropping the partial carton on the floor next time you take it out of the fridge.
This is why I do it. It’s not necessarily symmetrical, just roughly even weight distribution to prevent a heavy side.
So always put the heavy (short, not long) end facing the door, so you always grab the heavy end, and never have this problem.
exactly, set yourself up for success
Oh my god. This is beautiful.
Thank you, fellow lemites. I have assimilated this autism into my own.
Bam. Right here. It’s all about that weight distribution, simple as. First time I grabbed a carton by the light end, my stomach dropped. Not having that, no way.
According to this I am chaotic neutral, not sure what that means? I aim to balance the weight evenly, when pulling out of the fridge, the carton stays level.
I use Lawful Good for the same reason. Both keep the center of weight in the middle, but your method is more evenly distributed.
I’m chaotic good. Balanced haphazardly and without order.
There is always a relevant xkcd.
Per this example I’m lawful good
My wife insists on true neutral and I can’t think of a worse way of doing it. I try to counterbalance with lawful good whenever I have eggs, bit I’m always playing catch up…
I disagree with most of those. Lawful neutral is evil for example, as it imbalances the carton away from the hinge.
Knowing Randall, I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually got his own DnD group, or conducted some sort of poll, where he actually asked people already in certain alignment categories to describe their own egg carton balancing patterns… or lack thereof.
That would come closer to the actual alignments self representing…
But also I have no idea, this is just my head canon now rofl.
Chaotic good here.
Yep, I’m an Autist.
… Also had a mom with pretty severe OCD, so I always remember that ‘good enough is good enough’, in scenarios like this.
EDIT:
… Also also, I find the lawful evil solution to be utterly diabolical and actually makes me angry just being exposed to it conceptually… which I guess does make sense, opposite sections of the chart.
Did your mom also have a neverending project of slowly removing the old layers of lead paint from the inside of the house by scraping it off a little at a time with a razor blade?
… No?
She had different kinds of cleaning routines/phobias/rituals.
There’s another way to egg?
