When I visited Ireland several years ago, supermarkets kept eggs on the shelves, not in the fridge.
Same here.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Canadians (of my mom's generation at least) keep butter on the shelf in the cupboard. Not eggs though, so far as I've noticed.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Fresh, well-handled eggs can keep at room temperature for a long time. It's the dubious health practices of the factory farming industry that make refrigerating them a requirement, not anything inherent in the eggs themselves.When I finally get my chicken coop, I will have awesome, fresh eggs that I will keep on the counter.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
yeah, what juliana said.
Y'all! I finished my cover letter and resume tweaking, and am going to send it off tomorrow morning. YAYES.
Also, I am still not itchy. This has changed my life, I am not kidding! Totally trying it on mosquito bites the next time I get any. Which will likely be tomorrow.

Yeah, it freaked me out in Peru that all the eggs in the supermarket were just out on shelves. I figured that maybe you just can't keep them like that for months like I do the eggs in my fridge...
In general, though, I"m very much "any doubt? throw it out" because I all too often have no idea when I opened it, or when I bought it, or whatever. That's mostly my issue--the things that are all "Good until November 2024! ...but use within 4 days of opening!" and I"m like "What? I...can't eat it that fast"

There is a lot of margin built into "use by" dates.
I have never cracked open a bad egg, even though I have used some pretty ancient eggs. I only use pasteurized eggs for things in which the eggs are not fully cooked, though.

The kitten lives in the bathroom most of the day . with a giant crate - food and liter box. I want to take a bath , but the crate takes up a lot of room. but it is too early to put the kitten in his crate for the night. So I am waiting ...
I am a very accommodating cat parent

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am very liberal when it comes to use-by dates, unless it's chicken, pork or seafood.
I keep butter in my grandma's silver butter dish, even in the summer. We use it too fast for it to turn rancid, and when it gets REALLY HOT in the summer, I have a cool butter dish thingie that keeps the butter cool.
I hate hard butter.
