    Isn’t there something to be said about parents just not doing cruel things to their kids? Like, this isn’t even funny it’s just mean. I have kids. Why would I do this to them?

    I honestly don’t know how much of a concern salmonella is from this. In the US at least, eggs are required to be thoroughly washed to be sold in stores. Bruising from literally hitting your kid seems like a real concern though. And the person your kid should be able to trust the most humiliating them on the Internet is absolutely a core memory forming event.

    Just all around stupid.
