I'm a mature middle aged man with a family, serious job, responsibilities, atheist, but when I finish a boiled egg I still put my spoon through the bottom of the shell so the evil witches can't use it to sail across the river and attack the fairy kingdom.
@fesshole hey, what if our witches need to defend us against the evil fairy king? You will regret all destroyed eggs that day.
@fesshole Well of course. It would be irresponsible of you not to.
@fesshole at what point when you typed this did the drugs kick in
@fesshole This is charmingly whimsical.
@fesshole Someone please explain this superstition to me, I've never heard of it and it sounds wild
@thegiddystitcher my grandmother always told us to do this. Because witches can't cross open salt water but apparently they can in egg boats????

@n1ck So it's a saltwater river that these fairies live across?

Edit: fairys? fairies? I think maybe the second one

@fesshole I'd never heard of this superstition before, but apparently it's a quite old one: https://folklorethursday.com/folklife/the-witch-files-going-to-sea-in-an-eggshell/

The Witch Files: Going to Sea in an Eggshell – #FolkloreThursday

@fesshole same but I just try to peel it like Robert Deniro's Luis Cyphier character in Angel Heart.
@fesshole
I would do too, if I ate boiled eggs like that. Good for you.

I promise you that I did not submit this one.

Also, yes, please break the shells so the chickens can eat them with their feed and also to stop witches using them as boats.

@fesshole

@fesshole No, don't do that! Any day now we'll need all those egg shell boats to transport oil across the Strait of Hormuz.
@fesshole
Why not? Monarchies are king of overrated <canned laugter>
