[Maxi605]

You can't open a rotten egg carton, you can before they go rotten, but not after.

All rotten items have this or similar issue. For example, take a fresh watermelon and a knife allows you to slice into watermelon slices. Dead animals, watermelon, whole ham (unsliced), and many other items that can go into compost bin must be reduced into smaller pieces when the item is fresh; I am fairly certain when any of those items go stale or rotten can no longer be broken down into smaller pieces. This may be why egg carton when rotten can not be opened. Your option is to put it in the compost bin; some containers like cooking pot of rotten soup/rice/etc return cooking pot after compost cycle (2 weeks).

 

Actually, on the meals in pots and pans, I would prefer an option to pour the contents into the compost bin, but I understand why they did it the way they did. Otherwise, if you poured the meal into the compost bin, they would have to add more code to potentially be able to remove the soup/rice/whatever meal and place back into the cooking pot/etc. With all that said, the extra weight of the cooking pan/pot/etc is not optimal all of it going into the compost bin. Even if you poured the meal onto the ground, you should be able to retrieve it from the ground and put into the compost bin; example; pot of rice, the cooked rice can be scooped up with a spatula, shovel, etc.

 

And a note about stale and rotten eggs. Is this realistic? Not really sure stale eggs smell; and rotten eggs have to be very rotten to start smelling.

 

When food items spawn, there needs to be a found 'fresh' date. Like, you take a black crayon and mark date and contents on frozen steak, so you know what it is (without having to unwrap the packaging) in real life. Or, something store bought has a label with contents and expiration date. Even if we have to create them or write it on the container, some way to guess at the freshness of food items is needed; based on experience doing this a few times with a type of food item, eggs for example, would increase your skill at guessing the expiration date of the item, as it progresses from fresh, to stale, and to rotten. Any of this making sense?
