Buy Manhattan for some eggs and blankets
Spoiler: the blankets are infected with measles
If you really wanted to screw them over, you would infect the blankets with measles vaccine.
Wait until they wrap the blanket around themselves and then jump out from behind the door and shout "haha! You're now immune to measles! Sucker!"
While threatening their colony?
Denmark should deliver the extra eggs, personally and ballistically, right to the White House door.
lmao, the same people we are bullying for Greenland?! lmao.
This is how Trump will spin his failed conquest of Greenland: it was really just a ploy to extort eggs from Denmark.
Eggstort. Come on, people.
Gosh, the egg on their face after missing that one.
It really was quite eggregious.
These egg puns are atrocious. I'll be glad when they're ova.
When he said rare earth metals, he meant eggs
It's like they took every stupid political meme in today's discourse, put them into a bag, shook it up, and pulled something out at random.
Is this flooding the zone? Am I being baited?
You can't make this shit up
You could, but people would tell you that's fucking stupid and a terrible story.
Yes, realism is a really important part of fiction.
Fine. They get 2 dozen eggs in exchange for California.
Just a sec, moving back to California before the deal is final.
This kinda sounds so stupid I had to fact check it.
- Obviously they are just asking around everywhere if any country has even capacity of surplus eggs. So the department of agriculture send out letters to several countries. Also Sweden and Netherlands seem to be among them. Probably many more.
- Also I asked myself why they would even ask such small countries. It turns out at least Netherlands and Denmark are #4 and 8 of Egg producers in EU. #7 is Ukraine interestingly, maybe this will be part of the ceasefire negotiations xD Anyway here the full list of top egg producers in EU, interestingly Norway is #1: https://essfeed.com/cracking-open-the-european-egg-industry-unveiling-the-top-producers/
Pretty sure that article is wrong about Mowi/Norway, at least in the sense of egg species. Mowi is a farmed fish company and although they likely produce loads of eggs I don't think salmon roe is what the US needs the most right now
yeah definitely salmon egg would be the wrong kind of egg
Trump has pissed away all soft power so why in hell would they send us eggs?
