The US, grappling with an egg shortage, is reaching out to Lithuania for egg exports after Finland declined. The situation has prompted ridicule online.
Seriously? This is just getting sad at this point. Look, you could eat anything else. Literally anything. Why are they so obsessed with fucking eggs? Is it because someone stupid made it a campaign promise?
Your missing the point. It’s less about eggs than it is at showing the world how durable and reliable USA is, that it can overcome every problem. The hilarious irony is what it is now showing is how fragile and weak the US has become now that it’s alienated it’s allies. Unable to even cope with a tiny egg problem because the world is turning it’s back. I’m living in America and yet I’m cheering this on, so bizarre.
Same. I want it to hurt. I’m not into BDSM, but I kinda get it now.
Eeeew who would bdsm a MAGA?
partially. And partially because it’s used in making so many things like bread and mayonnaise and so on.
Yeah, and I get that, but comparatively, it’s very low volume of eggs/loaf. Even at the nearly 3x price hike we’ve experienced, it shouldn’t make a whole lot of issues for bread companies. Sure, mayo would get hit hard but that’s another thing that really shouldn’t be that hard to live without.
I mean, bread and mayo is like . . the foundations of civilization. For me. Personally. So - those aren’t going to be lived without at least for now.
But just based on stupid internet searching, the number I’m seeing is 300 million eggs per day for bread. That’s a lot of 19% highers.
The actual number might be quite different, but I’m assuming that’s probably not that far off.
Who makes bread with eggs?
“Bread”. Did you know that Subway isn’t allowed to call their sandwiches “bread” in Germany because it contains to much sugar?
It depends. https://www.chainbaker.com/eggs/
Has the US even said thank you?!
Tell us to take a long walk off a short pier, Lithuania!
Nah, the others must say thank you ;-)
In a not so funny note, egg prices in the U.S. are up 19,19% in February (month-on-month).
If you look in /r/conservative on reddit they have a completely different view. Prices are down according to them. If you check from November. I can’t be arsed to check because I don’t care.
That whole subreddit is a huge circlejerk, so small doses are required or you’ll get nauseous.
