Egg Rule

Who names their chicken Bessie? Everyone knows Bessie is a cow's name.

Takes all of 5 minutes to start a car and drive a mile and back. Nobody walks into a Costco for just eggs or brings the entire family.

I get that you all hate cars but when you make up fantasy stories like this you just harden mind of those you must convince.

Suburbanite in a proper suburb: "Come child, walk with me to the corner store to pick up some eggs."

egg

Was not expecting something about literal eggs.

Suburbs should not exist. I get Urban, i get rural, but there is absolutely nothing justifying suburban.

USA moment in the middle

What if I'm a rural non-farmer?

I've been an urban pedestrian/cyclist all my life. Unfortunately I chose a career path that means I now have to work far from a city. I just failed my driving test. I don't even want to drive. I fucking hate this so much.

me, being broke/cheap/lazy: repeats recipe search adding keyword "eggless"

...do you know how crowded Costco is on Sundays.

As a German: I hate you.

your chicken hasn't laid an egg? go ask your neighbor! They'll probably have some.

I live in suburbia in the US and I can walk to 3 different grocery stores from my house. If I go to the warehouse store, I will drive. Between telework, walking, and avoiding unnecessary trips to various places, I try to drive less than 1 mile per day.

Density kinda sucks to live in, but we can all make more effort to waste less energy.

Blood is a good replacement for eggs in recipe. Use like 4 tablespoons per egg you'd have used in your recipe.

Suburbanite should ideally go to their backyard garden/ chicken coop

Who can even afford living in a city or on the country side? City is too expensive, and country side is cheap but there are no jobs. If you wanna have some kind of a decent-sized place for a family with kids, suburbia is a must unless you are somehow rich. Or happen to have a job that exists in the country side.

In Europe at least it is super hard to afford rent inside the centre of a big city. But yeah being a “walking pedestrian” is soooo cool.

And you can actually do it in the urban suburbs :) but in Paris for example, the cost of living is so high in the suburbs and the center.

I guess if you live on a farm or walk to the grocery store, you don't have an internal monologue?

My suburb doesn't allow chickens as they're livestock, but it does allow egg-laying ducks because those are apparently pets.

you need eggs for dinner

Do you, though? I've swapped which nights I'm making which dinners so I can pick up missing ingredients on a day I'm going out anyway.

I'm allergic to eggs all of a sudden, so I use a substitute.

Yes. I'd like to pay 50quid for some eggs please, Mr Cornershopman. 😂

All the corner stores in Sydney have been turned into homes.

Imagine having so much time to complain.

Shit, I grew up in the suburbs and it was pretty much the same as the urbanite. Except "corner store" was "egg ranch" and you had to walk out of town to get there.

is there a r/eggsfordinner on lemmy ?

Minivan? Try GMC Suburban.
