it’s because the eggs expect to be warm and they punish you if you let them get cold. same reason chickens sit on them before they hatch.

Do you even mean "You realize this is a men post and community right?" Seriously the level of meming is proportional to frying pans squared. In fact it could be said that Frying pans were the first type of meme. Frying pans have been around long before Reddit and they even predate things like brexit and Barack Obama. (Quirky I know)
So to answer your question, yes

What now? Of all the things stainless excels at, cleaning certainly isn't one of them. Much easier to clean a nonstick or iron pan. The nice thing about stainless is you can use aggressive scouring pads or barkeepers friend etc to go to town on them at least, but stainless excels at adhesion and heat distribution and makes for a tougher cleanup.

A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it'll make them a bit better.
Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

I'm 90% cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless but you need to be pretty committed or pretty scared to not use any nonstick if you are a busy person. Sometimes the ease of throwing something on a nonstick with little to no oil and a fast easy cleanup or leave it with sauce sitting in it for a day or two and then deal with it later just can't be beat. The trick with nonstick is to avoid high heats and buy a new one every two years or so. Go cheap when doing so. I've found no real advantage of the expensive nonsticks over the cheap ones.

I have been cooking on stainless for over a decade, if it's sticking or tough to clean you've done something wrong
Check the pan surface, it needs to be clean and smooth when starting
When starting, don't add food till it's hot
Never use scouring pads, it'll create grooves in the surface that make food stick
Barkeepers friend is fine but a freshly polished pan will stick at first
Anything stuck to a stainless steel pan will come off with water, if it doesn't you probably cooked too hot

Trolling can be funny, but not when it's encouraging people to do actively hazardous stuff.
Lame

I have never once cooked with a stainless steel pan and not had the food stick like crazy. Dump as much vegetable oil as you want in, let it heat up as much as you want, that tofu is sticking to the pan and getting ruined in stainless steel. I'm convinced that people who swear by stainless only ever cook meat.

It's not unhealthy until you add sugar to give the good a resemblance of good taste after removing the fat.

Usually you need hot pan as the water will vaporise and make a vapor layer that prevent sticking
For inox pan, it also avoid that the micro cracks in the metal move and expand during the cooking which tend to trap the food and make it stick a lot
But you should avoid to heat a non-stick pan without food as it can emit toxic fume if it reach a critical temperature

If buttered eggs is the least healthy thing in your diet then you'll be fine

Scramble em in a glass cup and pour that into the pan. Might work better

Never had such a problem, even scrambled egg and the pan looks like new after
Never tried vegetable oil though
