- Come over and I'll spare you a few. 6,60€, 30 eggs carton. Figure that's fair?

As an American, part of me wants to try to write a comeback to these posts since this isn't even remotely what I and pretty much everyone I know personally wanted or voted for. But at the same time too many dumbasses in my country apparently did want it and I feel like we deserve to take our lumps. Sigh
- You know, this is one those situations where we make others laugh out some other's misery. We shield ourselves behind arguments like "they played themselves into it", etc.
  But I'm the one be laughed at. Me and any one seeing any humour in seeing another human being suffer because nobody took heed of what was to come.
  I sincerely hope you get rid of that dictator as soon as possible and in the most spectacular show of force you can devise. And don't be afraid to call for help.
  
  I really, really appreciate this comment. thank you for taking the time to write it ❤️

Notification: How to Basic has posted a video
- I did? Shit.

- Beautiful! What breed?
  
  I wasn't entirely sure as we rescued her and a few of her friends about two years ago. Had a look around though and it seems she's a Golden Laced Wyandotte. She's a good girl. The duck is a Bantam Appleyard and although duck eggs threaten to kill me, she's also a good girl.
- I have one hen who is a cross of buff orpington, barred rock, and various random breeds. She is a pretty bird but that is a gorgeous one.
  
  Thanks! She's a rescue and we love her.
- Aww! Someday I'll get the hell out of this city and have chickens, someday...

American here. A dozen eggs is 7 dollars. And I live in a poor area of the south. Fuck you mom and dad who voted for this. I tried to warn you.
- I’ve gone from a no-politics rule, instituted by me, with my mother, to outright accusing her of responsibility for every terrible thing the orange man does. All of this is by email with links to articles about his shitbaggery. My hostility is apparent and our relationship may not survive. I don’t care; she had the ability to learn who he was and didn’t take it.
- This is really strange to hear. I live in California, and the price is the same here. Everything here is typically a lot more expensive.

Eggcellent

Joke's on you, my whole neighborhood is farmers. Eggs for days baby.
They keep trying to give me raw milk tho...
- Your neighbours keep their hens inside or are they allowed to roam free?
  Because chickens will gladly trespass, forage around, and casually leave an egg behind.
  
  They across the street, hanging out behind a fence with the goats. We're on good terms :)
- Boil the milk? Like, I don't understand what's the problem with raw milk.
  
  Gee if only you could Google Louis Pasteur
  
  I don't think it's that easy. You're supposed to do it early, and milk burns and/or evaporates if you don't do it the right way (I suppose bain-marie in a closed cooker).

Do you collect your own butt nuggets?
- I wish.
  I have a small plot of land and got a few chickens to help clear the weeds. The creatures were lovely and at some point they just started to leave their eggs around. Ko rooster, no potential chicks.
  Then a stupid neighbour took the opportunity to let their hunting dogs into the chicken coop. Killed every single animal.
  
  Sounds like the neighbour should have a life time of half inflated tires.

$3.50cad/dozen from a farmer; got 8 dozen on Friday...
- Sadly, I can't see that image.
  
  It's a dozen eggs...does it show a placeholder rather than the image?

Lol, you guys know we have eggs, right? They're just roughly 60-80% more expensive right now.
A dozen near me is currently $7, instead of $4.

What's next? Talking about healthcare?
- That is a basic human right. Let's at least have a small sliver of respect.
  But Kinder eggs are fair game.

I just need 4 eggs If I don't get them, ill put the whole house in lockdown, with my funny games
- I would gladly give you those eggs, if I was able to.

You're preaching to the choir here on Lemmy

Dude i have no idea what this egg thing is a about, i just bought a dozen of the bougie large brown eggs with omega 3 for like 3.50
- I was just at Whole Foods, not the best barameter for price, every brand that wasn't the store brand was $10+ for a dozen. The store brand was $5.
- Good to know! Spread the news!
  
  But don't spread the bird flu pls.

My mother-in-law literally gave us 20 eggs from a local farm for free yesterday.

Smaug may find this a better treasure than gold these days!

That'll be worth a small fortune soon

How do you mine those?
- Local egg farm. These are large eggs and then I have a tray of extra large eggs. They treat really well their chickens.

No need to stock up. The organic XL eggs from the farm shop are €0.45, and available every day. At night we can get the smaller (L or M) eggs from their vending machine.
- Egg vending machine? That sounds interesting.
  
  We actually have two of them here. One is at the farm shop, the other one at the poultry farm.
  The one at the farm shop offers eggs, milk, and apples. You drop in the money, enter the number of the flap you want, and it buzzes open.
  The one at the poultry farm only has eggs, but in different sizes (M and L) and amounts (6 or 10). You drop in the money, enter the number of the product, a lift rises towards that row and a pack of eggs is carefully pushed on that lift, and then the lift moves down to the flap where you can take you product.
  I prefer the vending machine at the farm shop, as the one at the poultry farm has once eaten my change...
  If you wonder about the farm shops products: It is an apple and pear farm, but they have vegetables, meat, and eggs, too, which they get from other farms and a local organic butcher - with the eggs coming from the same poultry farm.
- So I guess there's no "bird flu" affecting you guys?
  
  Not that I know of. But you have to keep in mind that outside the US, farms often have way higher standards of hygiene. Which might make the difference here.

Soon that stack will be worth more than its weight in gold.
