Das Fühl, wenn du dir nicht sicher bist, ob das noch Schweiß oder schon Schmelzwasser ist, was an dir runter tropft.

little known fact, once you are older & no longer in school, time stops being real. did that thing happen one year ago? two? five? a few months ago? who knows.

another little known fact, when time is no longer real it becomes your responsibility to make it real and if you get it wrong you miss your doctors appointment and havent seen your friends in two months.

before cooking an egg, do you poke a little hole into the shell?

no, why would I?

No. (I know the reason people do it but I don't do it.)

yes, obviously??

Yes (I don't really know why, though)

....before you put them in here:

the water cup even comes with a little needle at the bottom for hole-poking purposes, see:

sorry i meant boil not cook

WHAT IS THAT

It's an egg cooker!

It's like a toaster and an electric kettle had a baby and ...the baby boils eggs.

#is this specifically a German thing#because Germans tend to have Opinions about eggs#also the only people I know who actually know how to use an egg cup are German#teach me your ways - I still don’t understand why you’d use an egg cup. and I can’t imagine boiling eggs not in a pot on the stove

no egg cup:

#why is the wobble an issue you pick them up one at a time shell then and eat them like not whole but just#you hold them and bite them and eat then till there's none left? why does this need extra tools

...at this point i'm sorry to introduce...the egg spoon.

Even better news about German egg related gadgets… the Eierköpfer (it also has a super long German name), for when you need a guillotine to open your egg neatly

bonyassfish

No offence to Germany but why are you guys so fucking insane

langernameohnebedeutung

nothing to see here. Just normal feelings about egg.

thatswhywelovegermany

The guillotine device from a couple of reblogs above is der Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher

das Ei (pl. die Eier) = egg

die Schale = shell

sollen = to be supposed to

der Bruch = crack, fracture

die Stelle = site, place, location

die Bruchstelle = site of fracture

die Sollbruchstelle = predetermined breaking point

verursachen = to cause

-er =suffix to turn a verb into a noun (genus m)

der Verursacher = causative agent

der Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher = device to cause a predetermined breaking line around the perimeter at the top of a boiled egg so it can be opened neatly

Also: Eierwärmer, egg warmers to keep the eggs warm during a long Sunday breakfast. They are often handmade and knitted or crocheted in a decorative shape, but they can also be bought. Popular as a gift for Easter.

Extremely German egg eating

cheeseanonioncrisps

As a Brit, gonna say Germany's the normal one here. Had no idea the Americans were eating soft boiled eggs with just their hands.

shinyhappygoth

No, we’re mostly eating hard-boiled eggs with just our hands. Soft-boiled eggs certainly aren’t unknown here, and I can’t speak for others’ experiences and we’re a huge and varied country, but hard-boiled eggs are much more common; I’m not sure I had a soft-boiled egg until adulthood, and I definitely only learned how to make one a year or two ago (I am in my forties) and that was just so I could put them in my ramen. Please note that you’re the first person in this thread to overtly specify the type of egg; I am willing to bet that the Germans were assuming it went without saying that they meant soft-boiled, and that it never even occurred to the Americans as an option.
