USA asks Lithuania for eggs after Finland and Denmark, internet calls it ‘Door to door begging’
Access Denied
The US, grappling with an egg shortage, is reaching out to Lithuania for egg exports after Finland declined. The situation has prompted ridicule online.
Has the US even said thank you?!
Tell us to take a long walk off a short pier, Lithuania!
And where is the suit?!?
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.
How come they haven't contacted Canada yet, their closest and best friend?
We'd rather egg the white house than give them eggs at this point
You know it's AI because of the waist sizes.
Surely it’s easier to import from land neighbours? Oh..you’ve pissed them off?
Trump right now: They do not want to send their eggs to us? Fine, I will just conquer them and send it by myself.
Cue Canadians and Mexican torching their farms as they retreat, Russian-style
Now this is just pathetic.
Lithuania isn't a big country. Are they famous for their enormous egg production?
They even have already asked Austria. Trump is now famous for having no eggs.
It's so sad that the joke doesn't work in English.
(For readers who don't speak German: Testicles are called Eier=eggs in German slang.)
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.

Tbf, eggs are perishable and thus not the ideal thing to transport for multiple weeks on a ship. There are multiple problems here, it's not just the world turning its back.
Same. I want it to hurt. I'm not into BDSM, but I kinda get it now.
partially. And partially because it's used in making so many things like bread and mayonnaise and so on.
In before, Trump promises military help in exchange for eggs.
I wasn't really into eggs, but now I'm gonna start enjoying our european eggs.
This is fucking embarrassing.
I’m making extra Easter eggs this year just for you, America.
Is there even an egg shortage? They stores where I shop usually have their egg fridges as full as usual, only more expensive
They’re full because they’re expensive. And they are expensive because there’s a shortage
inb4 due to disagreements on, or shitty enforcement of sanitary norms new and exciting chicken plague will develop
Why are we asking for this? Just let the flu work itself out, deal with our costs, and focus on domestic production. Eggs are getting thrown out still. And those imports won't save anyone who's actually starving.
I bet they're asking only to be able to say "see? Nobody helps us. Why should we defend them?"
I don't think their thoughts go that far in advance. But yes, that's how it'll be sold in six months to a year when our chicken populations stabilize. For me though, this shouldn't even be a matter for the government, if it's going to happen at all. The egg producers should be doing this as part of their private enterprise, not the government. Eggland's Best, Goldhen, and the like could handle it. I don't want the government trying to do something that should be left to the free market.
Well, according to Trump, there is no friendship between nations, only deals and leverage. Well, orange man, what do you have to offer for our eggs? Maybe lift your stupid tariffs again?
That was the immediate thought I had. The US is going around like a beggar asking for eggs, it's pathetic.
This has Chris Griffin vibes, the episode where Chris and Meg take on Peter and Lois' tasks, and Chris has a heart attack
Donald Cuck and company probably think bringing down egg prices will solve all their problems.
