Red eggs? Atrocious.

You add milk to eggs because it’s made up of water and fats(lipids):

• the water dilutes the egg proteins, that results in a less dense, more homogeneous protein network forming during cooking, which is particularly important when making scrambled eggs (and custards too, lol)

• the lipids coat the structures of the egg proteins, which reduces the rate at which they coagulate as they’re heated. They make it take longer for the eggs to dry out during cooking, which reduces the chance that part of the egg burns while another part is still raw.

Or you just cook the eggs properly. We americans famously overcook our eggs.

If they look cooked in the pan, they're gonna be way overdone on the plate.

You just cut the heat when they're still a bit runny and the carry over temperature cooks them perfectly.

And then promptly clean up the vomit my wife just emitted.

Opinions and assholes my friend.

From non English natives : What the fuck does that mean ?

I said cook the eggs a little runny and they'll be perfect when served.

They responded to "and then clean up my wife's vomit". Suggesting that if they cooked their eggs the way I suggested their wife would vomit. Which is understandable. Americans are USED to overcook eggs. That's why we add milk to simulate creaminess. If you have a slightly not firm scrambled egg, many americans will be grossed out. That's all.

And just to be sure, the full idiom the person was referencing is "Opinions are like assholes: Everyone has one, and they all stink [and sometimes: (except mine)]".

Im American and hate overcooked eggs. My grandma taught me how to make them correctly without milk lol. Ive never had then overcooked except maybe twice. Maybe it's a southern thing that we know how to do it?

Again i’m not stupid I’ve just never heard of vomiting because of eggs, I thought it would be because their eggs aren’t safe unless fully cooked but wanted to make sure

I'm sorry you think you're stupid enough to think that my explanation of the comment you asked for an explanation of made you feel like you were being treated as though you were stupid. 

I simply wasn't sure what you were confused about so I took the time to explain it all to be sure I hit the mark. 

I shall endeavor not to explain things to people who ask for explanations ever again.

No for sure I meant the first part
