I brought a dozen camping with me the other day. Imagine my disappointment finding 3 cracked open when I arrived. I'll never financially recover from this.

Lucy Bluth: what could an egg cost? 10 dollars?

Looks like an upside down dispenser for something.

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I actually took this ages ago and just ran across it while retrieving data from a dying phone.

Egg rack? That seems to be a device not even billionaires could find use for, so useless
