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

There's another way to egg?

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.

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

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.

OMG, I do this too!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Relevant XKCD

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

You try to take the egg carton out of the fridge and it's unbalanced ONE TIME...

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.

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!

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

T'was the tism m'lord

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

This is the way!

I do this and I am not austic.

I might have picked it up from this guy.

I do also balance the carton. Not always absolute symmetry but don't want someone to drop them.
