#2The fact that this, and videos like "how to eat an apple", have millions of views is a testament to how even the smallest things people are curious about, they still want to do it perfectly or correctly

#3Didn’t watch this specific video (already knew how), but this one is definitely a skill worth learning—so either this video or another one is worth watching for sure.

Speaks to the power of youtube as well. A generational innovation.

#5This looks great and all, but another YouTube video says that when you crack the egg against the lip of the bowl, you create shell fragments....
So - maybe those videos need to battle it out?

Both are right... it depends on so many factors. I've (subjectively?) found older eggs to create more shell fragments when cracked this way.
The only hard truth is that the egg will break in whichever random way it wants to.

#7I was a short order (Waffle House style) cook from 15-21 so I got pretty good at cracking two eggs at a time. In my 20s I impressed a lot of girls with that trick. Now we just need a video on how to see the right pan temperature by the oil shimmer and how to flip an egg.

#8A few years back, I was a line cook for Denny's. Busiest day of the year was always Mother's Day. Shortly after Denny's introduced the Grand Slam Breakfast (I did say a few years back) I worked Monther's Day on the egg station. In 8 hours, I did eggs for 344 Grand Slams and 45 omlettes. Total: 803 eggs.
So I got pretty good at cracking with one hand.
The only point I'll add: Crack on a flat surface like the counter, not a bowl or pan edge. It yields fewer small egg shells shards to fish out.
PS: I also got to the point I could shell 30 hard boiled eggs in under 30 seconds with a 2-handed shell technique.
