I am delighted to report that a shitpost I wrote a year or so ago in response to the question 'who was the first person to boil an egg?' is now being repeated by AI-penned spam pages

Do you know when soft boiled eggs came out?
Starting from the famous joke " who came first, the egg or the chicken?" , interestingly, we know the answer to that question because the hard-boiled egg is a surprisingly recent phenomenon.

Although many of the classic styles of egg preparation, scrambled, poached, fried and so on, have been well known since time immemorial, it wasn't until 1974 that a hard-boiled egg appeared.
The discoverer of this technique, Marvin Boyle-d'Eigg, was heating a pan of salt water for his own amusement, when a chicken egg he was holding in his beard fell and sank into the boiling liquid.

It took a few minutes to retrieve the egg and the rest is history. Boyle-d'Eigg immediately took steps to register the eponymous patent for his new process, but it is not known whether he ultimately succeeded.

Leaving behind this unique history, it is time to talk about how long to boil soft-boiled eggs, as we know them since we were children and our grandmothers used to prepare them for us.

See how long the soft-boiled eggs take
Who was the person who invented the boiled egg?
The discoverer of this technique, the eponymous Marvin Boyle-d’Eigg, was boiling a pan of salted water for his own amusement when a hen’s egg he had secreted in his beard shook loose and became immersed in the boiling liquid. It took several minutes to retrieve the egg, and the rest is history.

This isn't a man who "understands risk." It's a man who inherited enough money that he's never faced risk in his life.

VP Harris keeps calling him “Coach Walz,” Tommy Tuberville is shaking and crying and throwing up like someone just asked him to name at least five US states.
