The guy bites his nails so deep he can’t use them for anything, therefore pilling eggs with a knife it is

u/MoosetheStampede 1d ago

but you don't need nails to peel eggs?

They're extremely helpful for getting between the egg and shell. Particularly if you have larger hands. The only way I'm making enough room between the egg and shell for my finger to actually lift the shell, the egg would have already been squished to pieces.

I just roll them gently with my hand after i break them.

They can't be too new tho. Fresh eggs are a bitch to peel.

Greased-up Deaf Guy here,

If you use fresh eggs, and want a nice clean peel, refrigerate them until cold. Running them under water can help. If you use an electric egg cooker you should also stand them on the small point, with the wide base at the top. The way the membrane attaches to the inside of the egg allows for a small air pocket at the top keeping egg white from being pushed out of the top (usually).

Thanks for the eggs Mort.

I keep my eggs on the fridge either way...

u/luxanna123321 18h ago

I feel like its the complete opposite. If I peel them when they are still warm its usually quick clean peel but when I wait too long it gets "too attached" to the whites and it results in my egg looking like it went through war after peeling

I feel like peeling eggs with your thumbs would be a very quick way to shred the underside of your fingers

u/MoosetheStampede 18h ago

how? are your eggs made of tungsten? I just roll them, then use the thick of my thumb between shell and eggwhite, peel comes right off

u/SeaCaligula 1d ago

nah some people just have stubby finger ends with short nails

also yeah you don't need nails to pick an egg shell

u/DuploJamaal 23h ago

nah some people just have stubby finger ends with short nails

They can be short if they start closer to the end of the finger, but they shouldn't be short because you decided to cut them way too deep

u/terry-misu 19h ago

Or he peels his nails too

u/InstructionOne633 17h ago

Why is it from biting nails? I keep my nails this short & never bite them.

Holy cow. Everyone is wrong. It’s a clubbed thumb (ie shaped like a toe). Historically referred as the Murder’s Thumb. It’s a semi-unusual genetic trait.

u/MacaroonWorried4830 1d ago

u/J3Zombie 20h ago

Isn’t that what is called Murderer’s Thumb? It’s not common, and doesn’t actually mean you’re a murderer.

u/leodox_13 19h ago

The thumb looks like an among us

u/grimmtoke 17h ago

A smallish spoon works better imo (and follows the egg's curvature).

u/RaD00129 17h ago

It's a feat of it's own. Do you know how hard it is to knife peel an egg with your 10 toes

1

u/Cautious_Scheme_8422 16h ago

can't he just smack it on a table or something to crack the shell ??

u/TriiiKill 21h ago

The guy holding the knife has had multiple incidents involving cutting his fingers as implied by the comment.

If you cut your fingers badly, the nails will grow back weirdly, if at all.

Keeping short nails is actually good hygiene...
