Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Would being shitty to trans people be okay if they did make egg prices cheaper?

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By executive decree, we're all now females, so we can't even be shitty misogynists.

Nongender, actually. The EO specifies "at conception". No sexual characteristics have been developed at that stage.

[–] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 16 points 1 year ago

Depends on how low the prices go /s

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I know you two are sorta playing off each other, but I think most of us agree that no, it wouldn't make hurting innocent people ok.

Still $9 "low price" at Ralph's in the Los Angeles area...

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve been paying $8-9 for fancy organic farmer’s market eggs for years. It’s wild to me that the basic Kroger brand egg now cost that much but my fancy eggs haven’t gone up in price.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

8-9$? Holy shit, that is expensive. Here in Germany a 10 pack organic eggs is somewhere around 3€.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Costco was about the same per dozen (business costco had 15 doz for ~$137) and they're supposed to be cheaper because of membership fees and buying in bulk. But, hey, at least those damned trans folk are miserable! That's all any of us ever really wanted, right?

Oh look, another brick wall on which to bang my head until I do enough brain damage to understand the ~~reich~~right.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but that's Ralph's. I've continued getting $4 eggs from Sprouts which is just their going rate. (Although their $9 pasture eggs are lit).

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was just at sprouts and they didn’t have any. Same as last week

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think it helps that mine is a new sprouts so it's not as frequented. They do have a notice saying there is a shortage though. I don't think their pasture raised ones are impacted directly, but the loss of the cheaper eggs still makes it in higher demand.

Does this actually sell? I personally buy it from Costco for $3.95 and I've lowered my eggs ~~consumerism~~ consumption(fuck Gboard for wanting to speak for me) from 5 - 7 eggs in the morning to only 3 now. And if this shit keeps going up, I'm stopping it completely.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Are they having a fire sale?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

We need some stickers with trump on them saying "I did that" on the overpriced egg signs

Only up $0.65/dozen since his inauguration from the already record high price...

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The policy on egg prices is “go fuck yourself”.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

There's a trans/egg joke in here somewhere...

[–] magikmw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're having egg problems I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but a hen ain't one.
