@krazyito they wash the eggs. Which, yes, gets rid of any stray chicken poop or whatever from the shell, but also strips it of the very properties that protect the Inside of the egg from diseases and such. If you don't wash them, they don't need refrigerating.
Also, something about pasteurization. I'm not sure if that was that the US did or did not pasteurize the eggs, but I recall it being relevant.
Also, something about eggs means that once you've refrigerated them once, you then have to Keep them refrigerated until you use them. It's a non-issue if you just don't to start with though.
Where I live, the eggs don't get washed (though I suspect Something is done, because they're basically never dirty*), and they don't get put in a refrigerator until they reach the one in your house (and I think that's as much to do with fridges having special egg holding compartments as anything else).
*Actually, I believe this is largely a product of the environment the chickens are kept in.

Crush them and toss some stewed or canned fruit in the bowl, drown it in milk and let it go soggy,and it becomes decidedly less sad. Soggy is important, if it still crunches it hasn't absorbed the milk and fruit flavours yet. (Just, you know, don't leave it sitting around long enough that the water from the milk and fruit evaporates back Out of it, not only is the result disgusting to eat, it's an absolute pain to clean off the plate).
You Can use (small amounts of) sugar instead of fruit, and I believe most grain based milk-substitutes work just fine too.
There's a reason eating whole, dry, weet-bix (or equivalent) with nothing added to them is a challenge people only do to show off.
Or, you know, just eat muesli instead. There's a lot of variety to be had, some of it pretty good.
