You should never ever do this with a cup of coffee and an egg

Viral videos exist in a realm as terrifying as it is fascinating, and occasionally you will find a life hack that will, quite literally change your life.

This is not one of those times.

The good people over at Life Hacker tried to halve the time it takes to boil an egg for breakfast and drink a coffee by... doing the two at the same time?

That's right: they attempted to soft-boil an egg in a cup of coffee, and it went exactly as you would expect:

1. Boil a mug of coffee and grab an egg from the fridge

2. Put egg in cup and pour the coffee inside

3. Wait 10 minutes

4. Take out the boiled egg...

5. And...

...

There you have it. A (still) raw egg.

Well what did you think was going to happen?
