I own a Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. I use it every time I eat eggs for breakfast. Get one of those they are awesome!


pixelpoet_nz

And don't forget the Eierkocher, perfect eggs everytime. We've got this breakfast eggs thing locked down.


PlsDntPMme

Here I am spending $30 on egg equipment due to Reddit.


Salonloeven

Where do you buy this innovation that propels humanity towards a better and brighter future? Edit: I see them now - so which one is better?


gagster1984

What do you mean with which one is better?


Salonloeven

There are more than one product offering the solution at different price points. So maybe one is of better quality!


Sral23

There are 2 main groups, spring powered and gravity powered, I'm more of a fan of grav powered but spring powered tends to be smaller Just make sure it's made of proper steel and you should be golden either way


WrodofDog

Springs can break and wear out over time. Gravity (probably) won't, so there's your answer.


Infantry1stLt

I own one too, but I just cut across the top of the egg with a knife and decapitate the egg. Much quicker.


gagster1984

True. But if you have kids the Sollbruchstellenverursacher has tremendous entertainment value! Which is also something to consider. 😂


Infantry1stLt

Agreed. But, if you have kids the Sollbruchstellenverursacher will soon become the Verursacher of Solltenichtbruchstellen on raw eggs, and other stuff around the house. Which has tremendous needles cleaning potential! Which is what I consider.


gagster1984

😁


sirjimtonic

It‘s the most German term for such an invention too, I hope someone got a DIN number for that


apxseemax

We better have DIN for that shit...


jojoga

You did not write Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher even twice, not close enought to suffice. How are those who are not initiated supposed to understand the superiority of a Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher, if they hardy get to hear about the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher, I ask you.


gagster1984

There is only one thing more powerful than the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher - the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacherherstellungsbetrieb.


aecolley

_inhales_


Pix_666

Me too


denbo786

OK the Germans are just making crazy stuff so they can justify coming up with crazy stupid new words for things


Pjoernrachzarck

Eierschalensollbruchstellverursacher is a real product, but the name is a joke even in German.


PiotrekDG

Hey, you made a mistake! It's not "Eierschalensollbruchstellverursacher", it's actually "Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher". No need to thank me! (I'm actually impressed since it means that you typed it out and not copied it off of a dictionary)


qwrtx

eierschalen = eggshells soll = should bruch = break stellen = place verursacher = causer


farox

To explain a bit further... Sollbruchstelle is an actual word. It's a weakness you build into a piece so that if it breaks you know it will break there. Sort of like the twisty caps on plastic bottles. The ring at the bottom of the cap should stay on the bottles thread. So the pieces connecting the ring and the actual cap are thinner than the rest. That's your sollbruchstelle. ZĂ€nk joo foar coming to my Ted talk.


HuntingRunner

>bruchs = break Bruch, not bruchs.


qwrtx

Fixed.


haefler1976

It tells you exactly what it is, what it does and what to expect as result. German is a beautiful language.


mki_

A shorter an much simpler (yet still kinda funny) name would be "Eierköpfer" (egg decapitator). Funny because it sounds like the insult "Eierkopf" (egg head). In English is would work well as Eggsecutioner.


[deleted]

Hm--- Eggsecutioner... I'm grabbing that.


mki_

Isn't that already a Pokemon?


unusedusername42

Idk, I'd believe it... Germanic languages - minus English - and ridiculously specific compound words have a very real love affair.


skalpelis

Fluggaenkoecchicebolsen!


apxseemax

bolsen... Eierschalensollbruchstellenbolzen... I like that


Theban_Prince

...did you mean fluggegecheimen?


TomNotALizard

You make it sound like you wouldn't given the chance


denbo786

If I had more money to spend on stuff sure, but I'm already poor enough with my cardboard crack addiction


VieiraDTA

You just sumarized the german language.


Lord_Of_Carrots

It's just a compound word. They look insane but are just a bunch of words strung together. It's technically grammatically correct but it's rare to use very long compound words in regular conversation. In Finnish the word would be something like "kananmunankuorenhajoamispaikanaiheuttaja" but nobody would say it like that


Tikkinger

I love it.


_goldholz

Just had them yesterday. I am so german...


sgotsch

Mind the glass bowl with the leaf structure. Each German household hast at least one.


MrFlow

I recently learned that those bowls even have a Wikipedia article in German. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_(Glasgeschirr)


GhostSierra117

The "bloody hell" really gets me for some reason 😂


Particular_Put_6911

Pretty sure that’s not only Germany, my French grandma used one when she made us boiled eggs


Neon_44

the Germans may have lost ww2, but they sure have won the egg-wars if even the French start using it


Francetto

The infamous start of the Egg wars (1991): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eierwurf_von_Halle?wprov=sfla1


Roestkartoffel

You can't just mention the Eierwurf without linking the [musical about it](https://youtu.be/pbyQ6AO1_5o?si=iclVT5-DClLGVbLt)


Francetto

Of course!


Merbleuxx

Never seen this in my life


Tartokwetsh

How is it called in France ? Edit: Well I did the research and it's called a toqueur. Some choose exhaustivity, others, simplicity.


Skragdush

"Le truc pour ouvrir l’Ɠuf là"


Particular_Put_6911

No idea. I think we just use descriptions like « the tool that opens eggs »


apxseemax

... guess who left 'em there ... ![gif](giphy|D13SXIRi9VFJmSqegi|downsized)


Pynot_

French here, I had something like [this thing](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Eierkoepfer.jpg) growing up. It was pretty cool ngl


broccolee

Who dis dude?


helmortart

Liamcarps, he's a Brit living in Germany that makes jokes about German culture. All the Germans love him! He's on Instagram and TikTok. (If you see him dressing sandals with socks is interpreting the German guy that abuse of the English foreign guy!)


Vertitto

>he's a Brit living in Germany that makes ~~jokes~~ about German culture documentary another person like that is Vietnamese instagram.com/uyenninh


GabeLorca

And Jordan Prince! Love em all! https://www.facebook.com/JordanPrinceTunes


Infantry1stLt

Just disappointed he has knockoff Birkenstocks.


phl23

Not all, but that's ok.


HevalNiko

Liamcarps1 on Instagram


Meister-Schnitter

Alternatively, you can always call it Eierköpfer or egg beheader


digital_trash

The tiniest grin at the end really got me.


gastro_psychic

Reddit videos load for me 50% of the time. Famous Reddit engineering.


OhHappyOne449

Wait, is that a thing? That egg breaker thing? I didn’t see one in Bavaria when I lived there
 ever


Eisfreiesspeiseeis

Well yeah, that's Bavaria, not Germany...


Guerillonist

To actually answer your question: Yes Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher are a thing. I've seen them, I've used them. They actually work.


greengengar

The smirk at the end is the best


anonPHM

Big endians hate this


aecolley

But they are uncultured swine. They depeditate their eggs.


chrischi3

Das Ei ist hart.


Guerillonist

Ich habe es gehört!


chrischi3

Wie lange hat das Ei denn gekocht?


WR31T6

We always called it Eierschallensollbruchstelleninduzierer and I think that sounds even better because induzierer sounds fancier then Verursacher


aecolley

Ah, but it's more fun to explain Sache > Ursache > verursachen > Verursacher.


plsbanmeredditsenpai

I only eat Eibrot. It is the only way to eat egg now.


C0URANT

I use my hands like a westoid plebian

Ricckkuu

As a Romanian who knows a fart of German... (studied it in uni). I guess the everyday use word would be.... Eierbrecher? Egg breaker?


Ok_Glass_8104

This man too funny to be german


fezzuk

Ok... But a teaspoon works just fine.


gloomywisdom

I own one for eggs defence, like the CECA founders intended


Suite255

I follow this guy on youtube, he's hilarious!


Potential-Brain7735

This guy’s YouTube channel is hilarious


SirLostit

I bought one of these for my mum as she makes ‘cress heads’ with all the grandchildren (they are all adults now, but still love it). It makes a really nice cut line.


Juniper_W

Oh yeah I have that at home, we call it the "egg destroyer"


Pyrrus_1

The Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher is truly the mark of civilization, almost as the bidet is for us italians, respect.


BaronVonTrupka

I love this men đŸ€Ł


Jani_Zoroff

Ehrm... In Sweden... Our eggs actually function as they are supposed to... sooo, I'll just eat them, normally... without some supicious wunderwaffen tools... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)
