I just think it's kind of nice to cook with eggs that don't have a thin coat of shit on them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And yes, washed eggs lose their cuticle & "don't keep as long." But they still keep for like.. 4-5 weeks. In what way is a 4-5 week shelf life insufficient. What r u doing

Anyway back to avian sex ed Some birds have penises! Some just ... don't! How do birds have sex without a penis, you ask?pic.twitter.com/bjjFYIc2M9

for real though SciShow has made multiple videos about this exact conundrum. If you need to know more about bird penises,
@hankgreen has provided. This one is a great starthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W_BjxjpnwI …Show this thread -
Reptiles also have 1 hole. So do monotremes! (echidnas & platypuses) They're mammals that lay eggs, which one would think would be their highlight feature, but no. "Monotreme" means "one hole."

Marsupials have two holes! (one for the GI tract, one zoned for urogenital use.) In fact, marsupials have wonky geometry with their ducts that makes their reproductive tract have to stay super narrow. Which is ok bc marsupials have tiny babies.pic.twitter.com/GpyHbDa76s

The vagina is a unique, placental-mammals-only institution it's the whole reason placental mammals can have babies bigger than a lima bean, and thus why human babies can have giant heads. Thank u vagina for your service

*cismale placental mammals have the urinary & reproductive openings remixed back into one hole. Fellas: this is ONLY YOU. if it is news to anyone that roughly half of humanity & placental mammals in general are packing a 3rd hole, please go to wikipedia & refer to some diagrams

But back to what we're all really wondering, which is "How many holes did T. rex have?" Given that birds are dinosaurs, and birds have one hole (as well as the taxa that are most bird-adjacent- reptiles & basal mammals) it is most likely that T. rex had 1 hole.pic.twitter.com/P72Xc3beZR

in conclusion, I strongly recommend washing T rex eggs prior to use and/or sale
