USA asks Lithuania for eggs after Finland and Denmark, internet calls it ‘Door to door begging’

They’re full because they’re expensive. And they are expensive because there’s a shortage

You know it's AI because of the waist sizes.

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.

I bet they're asking only to be able to say "see? Nobody helps us. Why should we defend them?"

Cue Canadians and Mexican torching their farms as they retreat, Russian-style

Trump right now: They do not want to send their eggs to us? Fine, I will just conquer them and send it by myself.

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.

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).

Lmao! Not a maga, the rest of the world.

Unable to even cope with a tiny egg problem because the world is turning it's back.

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.

Thank you, this is an interesting experiment!

You might be floored to discover there’s an entire chunk of breads that involve eggs. Brioche and Challah are perhaps the best known.

"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/

Who makes bread with eggs?

What kind of bread needs eggs? Are you talking about cake and donuts? Even so, in many recipes, eggs can be replaced by things like linseed/chia, bananas, or bean water ("aquafaba"). I'd actually expect American food manufacturers to be price-conscious enough to have cut such corners a long time ago.

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.

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.

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.

partially. And partially because it's used in making so many things like bread and mayonnaise and so on.

We'd rather egg the white house than give them eggs at this point

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.)

Lies. Mines 6, 12, 24!

in europe egg cartons are metric (10 instead of 12)

Yikes, that's extortion, atleast 6 eggs for a patriot and 12 for a abrams

I'm sure Ukraine would send eggs if asked. 5 eggs for a patriot missile, 10 for a fully equipped abrams tank.

They even have already asked Austria. Trump is now famous for having no eggs.

Has the US *even said thank you?!*

Tell us to take a long walk off a short pier, Lithuania!

How come they haven't contacted Canada yet, their closest and best friend?


Surely it’s easier to import from land neighbours? Oh..you’ve pissed them off?


Now this is just pathetic.

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?

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.

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

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.

inb4 due to disagreements on, or shitty enforcement of sanitary norms new and exciting chicken plague will develop

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.

Donald Cuck and company probably think bringing down egg prices will solve all their problems.

This has Chris Griffin vibes, the episode where Chris and Meg take on Peter and Lois' tasks, and Chris has a heart attack
