Not looking for any street cred, I just want to eat deviled eggs that taste good!
I used cultured sour cream, dill, horseradish and salt for the version I made for my menu from summer
Good smoked paprika is also really nice, but unfortunately was hard find in China

You need a bit of extra.

Yes. As much as it’s a total chemical crap storm, I can’t deny this.
Atlas actual here.
I need all of you except @RT_Nomad to know, that you have failed me.
For backstory, my wife and I went to this nice little Amish market yesterday to grab some groceries to make dinner. We both are slimming down for our actual (read: non courthouse) wedding in November, and are both crushing our goals, so we grabbed a little treat to enjoy on the car ride home. She got a home made Amish whoopie pie. I got, by my count, 3 deviled eggs.
She proceeds to tell me that it is absolutely unhinged to eat 6 deviled eggs on the road while driving home. I counter that deviled eggs are a perfectly acceptable road snack, and that I only had 3. She says no, you had 6. I point out the very logical fact that 3 eggs had in fact been deviled, thus I ate 3 deviled eggs.
And here is where you all came in. The purportedly impartial tie breaker for this conundrum.
And you failed me.
I shall not forget

I’m sticking to my definition. I will disagree with your wife though - a whoopie pie is far more unhinged for weight loss than deviled eggs.
This marrage is off to a rocky start.
(I’m kidding! Congratulations to both of you!)

I suspected this was the basis for this question. Sorry, for letting you down. I don’t even know who made these rules but I think @Brant_Drake summed it up best.

While I disagree with your counting, I do agree with @Brant_Drake that you made the better choice. Take solace in the knowledge that while she might know how to count deviled eggs, you know what a nutritional snack is. And this is what marriage requires, balance.

It took me a couple days to figure it out. For background- I’m accustomed to taking a single thing and cutting it up into more single things for fabrication and whatnot. So one single stock length of steel tubing becomes x items of other objects, and at the same time its own individual object. Once an object is significantly changed it becomes another different object, while maintaining the same essential properties of the original object- deviled eggs meet this criteria.
So here’s how you’re both right: It is true that you ate 3 eggs. It is also true that you ate 6 deviled eggs. These things can both be true at the same time.
The benefit of this method of counting objects is that you are both right, and of possible outcomes permutations, likely as good as it can be.
The Right/Happiness continuum permutations I used to arrive at this are as follows-
Scenario 1: you’re both wrong, both unhappy. Thats a -4.
Scenario 2: you’re both wrong, only 1 happy. -3.
Scenario 3 & 3ª : you’re both right, neither is happy. 0. Both wrong, both happy. 0.
Scenario 4: You’re both right, one happy. +3.
Scenario 5: you’re both right, both happy. +4.
I’m going with scenario 4, cuz you got to eat the eggs, and you’re also right. But you two seem competitive so I’m going to assume that she feels bested.
Possible solution- next time get her the same amount of the objects in question.

This is hysterical in every metric, and my wife’s response is that this was “eggcellent logic”

Side note. @SkyzykS is correct. You are both right. Had you worded the question " how many full eggs did I eat if I ate 6 deviled eggs?" You would have won the day. So technically you failed yourself. Lol

After a certain point, they DO add up like dog years…

The point where you switch to dog years is after surviving the 7-year itch, or any married years accumulated after the first marrage ends, if it ends before the initial 7.
Assuming dog years equal 8 human years, I have been married 47 years.
The math is completely open to debate, btw.

So if we are counting the first 7 as human years and then dog years after that, I’ve been married for 111 years I think. This certainly FEELS accurate some days…
