That isn’t entirely correct, the layer of mucous around the egg is called the bloom - it isn’t shit that protects the egg. The bloom actually protects the egg from bacteria that live in the chicken shit, and washing them removes that layer of mucous . Even still, the likelihood of getting salmonella from a supermarket egg is like 1 in 20k or something like that.

Lol I never claimed it is.

But if there’s shit on the egg, it strongly implies they haven’t been washed and thus have an intact bloom.

Not in Finland. That high percentages, that is.

    Did you think In was suggesting the shit itself is somehow protective? I didn’t assume that people would assume that, my mistake.
    
    I thought the implication was obvious.
    
    implication
    
    noun
    
    the conclusion that can be drawn from something although it is not explicitly stated.
    
    Like if I said “I’ve had a very sensual weekend. Your mom says to say hi.” You could probably understand the implication and wouldn’t just think your mom has accidentally rang me up as a wrong number only to say hello to you, would you?

    Idk man, look at the words you write after you write them - don’t expect me to read between the lines of your incorrectly expressed thought.
