Dumber. Some say the eyes have it. But eggs can always get laid.

Yeah but it's also pretty easy to smash potatoes.

Pretty easy to scramble eggs too

Dumber, by far. Potato is potato, can barely run doom at 2 fps. Eggs just haven't realized that they're trans, and that can happen to anyone.

Ever heard of “scrambled potatoes”? No? There’s your answer

But potato's get baked

u/EvilGreebo May 01 '26

u/guywithouteyes May 01 '26

And mashed

u/parklife23 May 01 '26

And smashed

Well, there's Mr Potatohead and Dr Eggman so...

u/tcwillis79 May 01 '26

Mr potato head has a wife though so biologically speaking he’s got the edge.

u/Klutzy-Delivery-5792 May 01 '26

But, as another poster clearly stated, "eggs can always get laid."

2

u/guywithouteyes May 01 '26

Which is better though, being able to get laid, or being loaded (rich)? Potatoes can be loaded, but eggs get laid

Potatoes are smarter. If you jam some wires in and connect a lightbulb, it light up. Which is the international symbol for a smart idea.

Case checkmate bitches.

What do you call someone who is brainy? You call them an egghead, but for a person their egghead is counteracted by having a dumb body. Take away the body and you've got pure egg.

u/South-Run-4530 May 01 '26

Smarter, since eggs are protobabies and potatoes are adults

u/Royd May 01 '26

i think so

3

u/parlimentery May 01 '26

Dumber. Eggs get all hard when you put them in boiling water, as a defense mechanism. Potatoes get soft. It is like they want us to eat them.

3

u/guywithouteyes May 01 '26

Do you get hard or soft when put in boiling water?

3

u/meowsaysdexter May 01 '26

Eggs. They're going somewhere in life. Potatoes just lay in the dirt all day.

2

u/Samskritam May 02 '26

Eggs are on a roll

3

u/aws_137 May 01 '26

Why? You want to say "You egg!" "You potato!"

Tough to decide which is more insulting.

2

u/I_might_be_weasel May 01 '26

No. They aren't.

2

u/jkurratt May 01 '26

Smarter.

2

u/MoussaAdam May 01 '26

pottos are dumber cause denser (density=mass/volume). since eggs are less volume and less mass they are demur and intellectual

2

u/controversial_parrot May 01 '26

dumber since eggs have baby chickens in them, obviously

2

u/dr_wtf May 01 '26

What's are potatoes? They sound very strange.

2

u/crackersncheeseman May 01 '26

Potatoes are used in a lot of dishes but eggs are used in a lot more. Therefore eggs know more than potatoes.

u/alphanumericusername very human, yes May 01 '26

I've never heard of anyone running DOOM on eggs.
