I was hard boiling eggs and accidentally let them sit in hot water for 3 hours. Are they dangerous to eat now?

Probably a bit tough but not dangerous (unless thrown)

Will eating hard boiled eggs left out in hot water for three hours cause food poisoning?

I agree that they are not dangerous from the standpoint of food safety; however, they may qualify as lethal weapons.

Not dangerous, but very possibly inedible.
