Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br /> <br /> This comic shows nine egg cartons, each of which contains between five and eight eggs. The cartons are presented in the format of a ''{{W|Dungeons &amp; Dragons}}'' {{w|Alignment (Dungeons &amp; Dragons)|alignment chart}}. Originally created as a way of categorizing game characters' motivations, the chart has three possibilities on each axis: lawful/neutral/chaotic on the X axis and good/neutral/evil on the Y axis. Used outside its original purpose, the chart has become a meme used for categorizing things it has no real applicability to. This comic is such a meme.<br /> <br /> A standard egg carton has 12 cups for 12 eggs, but the egg owner is unlikely to consume all 12 eggs at once. Because of that, the carton will be emptied gradually according to the owners' preference. This comic depicts various possible storage schemes for the unused eggs and assigns them D&amp;D alignments. The final carton, &quot;chaotic evil,&quot; shows what appears to be six eggs (counting the yolks) smashed inside the carton.<br /> <br /> <br /> The center of gravity of the different arrangements shifts as well, contributing to the &quot;goodness&quot; and &quot;lawfulness&quot; of the solutions.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> {{incomplete transcript|Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}</div>
