Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

May I offer you one hundred thousand eggs in these trying times?

[–] Naal@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago

me, patting my suspiciously 100K-egg-shaped belly: smuglord

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 12 hours ago

That's one hundred times one thousand eggs

And that's terrible

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 5 points 9 hours ago

century egg

no not like that

[–] gaycomputeruser@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

How the fuck do you steal 100k eggs

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's literally just the number of eggs that fit in a standard semi-truck trailer.

[–] gaycomputeruser@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

Ah, that makes sense.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 19 points 13 hours ago

put em all in one really big basket

[–] Wendy_Pleakley@hexbear.net 68 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I don't care for the price of eggs meme, but if the collapse of this country is agitated by a series of egg heists with no real cohesion, that will be quite funny.

It's literally comfortable brunch libs laughing at people for being concerned with the price of food

[–] neroiscariot@hexbear.net 19 points 15 hours ago

Ah yes, things are getting really very cool and normal

My grandfather had the egg monopoly in central PA

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 11 points 15 hours ago

This is the first thing that came to me lol

[–] buh@hexbear.net 28 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

that's as many as 10,000 tens. and that's terrible.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 12 hours ago

Dammit! I had a don't put all your eggs in one basket joke and this! Now I've got squat

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 27 points 16 hours ago

smuggle those eggs to California and you got like $100,000 profit

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Trader Joes in California has eggs for like 4 dollars

[–] SoJB@lemmy.ml 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Either TJ has some serious inter-CA regional pricing going on, or this is a straight up lie. But we’re comrades so I assume TJ is just price gouging markets.

$9 for 12 white non organic eggs at my TJ last I checked two weeks ago

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago

They have their own suppliers iirc, and we dont have white eggs at ours.

That being said they run out of eggs by 12pm

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 34 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (3 children)

Given eggs only last a few weeks someone's got to have a plan for this. Do small cornershop owners buy stuff like this under the table? Here in the UK practically any independently owned local cornershop has smuggled cigarettes and tobacco for the regulars they know personally.

Got any discount eggs bruv?

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Me and My guys are about to cook the world's first One-Hundred-Thousand Egg Omelet

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 30 minutes ago

No more half measures?

[–] Coolkidbozzy@hexbear.net 23 points 17 hours ago

bro should travel to montana or something, and become the mansa musa of eggs to crash the local eggconomy

[–] crime@hexbear.net 12 points 15 hours ago

maybe it's a Robin Hood situation and they're gonna show up at local food banks and stuff

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 54 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Amish Mafia reruns are on the menu

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 16 points 16 hours ago

Truly can’t put into context the absurdity of all that is happening. This hellhole country has industrialized agriculture and can’t even do that shit effectively.

The beginning of the EGG Cartelegg-dog

Hazbin Hotel SpoilerSir Redemptious appearing in heaven without his little egg bois makes me sad.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 6 points 15 hours ago

Carnists will do anything but eat a legume

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

carnists [cw carnism]:

spoilermorshupls actually, you must feed the beans to a whole animal (which will breathe, shit, piss, and fart most of that energy back out) so that you can slaughter it to extract a single bean's worth of energy for every three fed to the animal (I think typical FCRs are actually a bit more dire than that)

Castro stole my grandfathers eggs
