I know hardy har har such banter, but for real we also have unwashed eggs, and plenty of Americans have chicken's, I currently have 80 in my backyard and am overflowing with eggs on my countertops.
Your jokes will hit harder if they come from a place of reality and not only information gained from reddit and social media posts.
There are Americans who own chickens and Americans who've never touched one. It's a big country. This post applies mostly to city folk.
I live in a major American city maybe 4 miles from downtown and I have a farm with fresh eggs and produce a block from my house.

The ones subsidizing the rest of the country. You think Cletus has health insurance while he cosplays as a farmer think his 600 dollar a month land tax is paying for his 4 kids in school? 9 out of 50 states pay federal taxes and those states all happen to have the biggest cities.
But hey I get it. My parents were cosplay farmers as well. Here I am working like a schmuck for a living.
My man, if people want to own a couple chickens it's not that serious.
The rural welfare states are really a separate issue from that.
I do find it funny that conservative states are so anti-welfare when their existence depends on it though.
I don't get upset about people having a hobby, I encourage it. Just you know because you have fun doing something doesn't mean the rest of us have to subsidize your hobby. I enjoy baking that doesn't mean I get to quit my job and do it full time and depend on the government to pay me for it.
Knew a lot of families like mine growing up. Want to get a real job? No? Ok go back to failing at potatoes, and spend all your free time hunting while drunk.
I think that's a fair point. However in this case, as an American I personally know people here who are like this.
A friend of mine will go to the store and buy more eggs because he refuses to eat the fresh eggs I keep on my counter.
Edit: He also keeps an ice chest in his trunk to keep them in during the 20 minute drive from the store...
Well, if you're buying them at a store in the US and storing at room temperature, your friend has a point. In Europe, they don't wash the eggs at the processing plant. This leaves a film of sorts on the egg that prevents bacteria from entering the egg. In the US, we wash the eggs in processing to get bacteria off the eggs. Both methods are done to prevent E-coli, but the caveat is the washed eggs need refrigeration because there is no film on the eggs.
Also-- if the eggs are unwashed and then refrigerated they are now not shelf stable, the condensation that will occur going from fridge to room temp will disturb the cuticle enough to make them unsafe.
This is something I never knew, thanks
I will add to this... obviously, if you have chickens, farm fresh eggs can be stored at room temperature in the US.
What, a shitpost didn't take every singe person who exists in America into consideration??!?!?!?? No way, that's awful, I can't believe OP would try and hurt you like that, wild they posted a public meme that didn't apply to you personally
Also I believe you by your use of "chicken's". I grew up rural and many did not know how to pluralize things.
