I just squeezed more eggs in one hour than you have in your entire life

Participants in the 'Egg Squeeze' exam engage in squeezing an egg to determine its breaking point, aiming to release their grip just before it breaks. The gameplay involves holding down a mouse button to apply pressure and releasing it to stop, accompanied by music and an on-screen "Eggmeter" that displays a number between one and nine. A live chat feature allows viewers to comment, and a character named Buddy provides playful remarks. Participants may experience success through a sense of synergy with the eggs, leading to questions about the nature of this connection.
