 It only takes 10,000 sats to buy a carton of eggs because USD is the UoA of each item.

If it wasn't for bullshit fiat measurements of each asset, we have no idea what the price would be. 
 der 🤓 
 (eggs/USD)÷(sat/USD)

still fiat denominated 
 eggs are priced in dollars
SATs are priced in dollars

its only because they have a common UoA pricing in sats is possible

super basic Econ, principles of money stuff here 
 some law of physics stops me pricing eggs in sats?? or roubles?  or matchsticks?

this convo is hilarious :) 
 you can do whatever the fuck you want and nobody cares

but the world prices shit in USD and you doing division in your head doesn't change that. 
 They can't see it Han. They think it is smooth sailing until BTC becomes the UoA.

They can't see what I call the deep adoption of Monero, which has a similar owners structure as Bitcoin. Likely better.

In a blink of an eye Monero and Bitcoin could change roles if one sees wider use as a currency and becomes a kind of UoA even if it is just for a secondary market at the beginning. Monero is closer to that than BTC. 
 here come da akchually clowns! run!

 that isn't what we're talking about 
 I know. There is more they are missing.
