Always wash your eggs folks
Ironically, one of the reasons we have to refrigerate our eggs is because they're required to be washed in the factory farm process which removes a natural protective membrane.
I mean I keep mine in the fridge but then wash them again anyway Yolo
It's still a good idea to refrigerate them. It is possible, if unlikely, that salmonella can get inside the shell from the mother before the egg is laid. Keeping the eggs below 40 degrees Fahrenheit will keep the germs from growing inside during storage.
For those doubting me and down-voting.

So that they spoil faster and profits would increase?
Actually the opposite. Our eggs need to be refrigerated, but the process also means they spoil slower if properly chilled. Washing also removes contaminants from the environment where they're laid, which is not very hygienic because they're fucking chickens, there's old feed, dirt and chicken shit everywhere regardless of the type of size of facility or backyard. Having them washed during processing means you generally don't need to bother washing them at home, you can just use them.
It's two different ways of operating, each with some advantages and disadvantages.
Cool, I learned something new today. Dunno why I got sad votes for asking but idc
Halcyon to the rescue again!
While technically a question, the form it was asked is typically sarcastic.
