    It’d be hilarious if egg imports into the US were blocked because of the global tariffs.

        I am, but it’s only because I’m barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I’m crying the rest.

          Pretty sure that’s how The Joker lives, just before he attempts to blow up a bomb in downtown Gotham.

          I guess you need to find a tall dark brooding man to emerge from the shadows and engage in fight sessions with predefined hard limits. Like Batman has a no guns rule. So Joker tries to edge him into breaking his own hard limit.

          Yes, I DID just make Batman/Joker into a bdsm lovers couple. Because that’s what it is. All the villains, and Batman are all just acting out kink scenes in public. Thats why they all wear masks. They all know each others identities. The masks are to hide from the public. Not each other.

          Which brings me to the problematic side of Batman. There have been 5 different Robin’s. All of whom were teenage boys when they adopted the roll. If it had only been one Robin, you could make the arguement that Batman saw something in him, and needed to mentor him.

          But 5??? That’s just grooming.

        A Shakespearean comedy is just a play about regular people. His dramas were about the nobility.

      Is it a comedy of errors, or is it intentionally tanking the economy so Russia and Musk can buy up the USA at a steal of a deal?

    Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs. Almost like it’s some kind of hard addiction.

    At this point, I’m astonished no one has come up with some kind of synthetic egg that looks, acts, and tastes just like the real thing.

    It appears a hen needs about 115g of feed a day to produce one 50g egg, so the product yield is less than half the input, plus all the other overhead like conditioned living space, water, antibiotics, lobbying for ag-gag laws against animal rights activists… I bet someone could come up with a more efficient way to make an egg. They could even call it something like “Aeg™” which could have some cute marketing meaning.

      this country is really obsessed with eggs

      I was thinking about this myself. I think it’s a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.

        Eggs aren’t important because they’re eaten directly, as much as they are as an ingredient. They are used in all kinds of doughs (think breads, crusts, pastries, buns, etc…). They’re also half of mayonnaise, which again, is used in a lot of things

          Vegan baking has come very far. If anyone is interested don’t try to veganize your favorite recipe, it’s easier to find new vegan recipes.

          Also stay away from recipes that use healthier ingredients if you want tasty results, your recipe before wasn’t healthy either 😜

        Have you tried these? If so, are they any good?

        The real problem that needs to be solved for the true veggie-egg takeover is a runny yolk.

          This product wasn’t available to me when I went vegan, and now I don’t want foods that resemble animal products. So no, I haven’t tried myself. But my impression is it is very similar to chicken eggs.

          Products like this aren’t going to give you a defined “yolk”. You use this in baking, or if you want something like scrambled eggs. You’re not going to get anything over-easy or make eggs Benedict with this.

      Egg beaters liquid egg substitute has been around for ages and there’s even a plant based one now. Nothing in the way of something not scrambled though.

    [stand up comedian voice] Boy, these Republicans are really something, huh? You know, a lot of people just don’t understand why the support the things they do, but the thing you gotta understand, whether you agree with them or not, they’re a very principled group of people. You know, you might apply different approaches to different issues, but the Republicans, they apply the same principle whether we’re talking about women’s rights, or about global trade relations. Yeah. [Beat] Oh you all don’t know what I’m talking about, lemme explain what the principle is:

    FUCK YOU I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS I HOPE YOU DIE also, please let me control your eggs.

    Every single day, I am convinced more and more that us Canadians need to resurrect Rum Running but with eggs. The fisheries are questionable due to tariffs. We have both eggs and nice boats plus a long stretch of border.

    I have 15 dozen beauties right now, fresh, regenerative, free run, just at my house alone. The stock market is crashing but the egg market is rising.

    So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!
