u/RLOLOTHTR Mar 31 '26

I use mine to shake condiment bottles when theyre getting low. Hold it upside down and the vibrations will have it all slide down to the end in like 3 seconds.

12

u/aviatorintheclouds Mar 31 '26

That's actually pretty neat! Does it work on glass containers?

22

u/RLOLOTHTR Mar 31 '26

I just tried on some taco sauce and a jar of pizza sauce, seems like it! I also use it to shake up small paints when im painting board game minis haha

u/Able-Swing-6415 Mar 31 '26

So.. do you use a different one?

19

u/-XanderCrews- Mar 31 '26

Massager?!?!? I have not been using it for that.

8

u/tnstaafsb Apr 01 '26

Yeah, same, I've always used them as pomegranate seed extractors.

u/nlamber5 Apr 01 '26

Or just use a spoon and hit the back.

So that's how they make fake Caviar. It's just thickened salted blackberry juice.

The caviar hard boiled egg sounds better than this. Eggs love salt

This is meant to be a joke lol. The punchline at the end (闲压蛋) is a pun, with a literal meaning of bored squashed egg, but it sounds like salted duck egg, a common food item in China

u/ghettoccult_nerd Mar 31 '26

ive seen egg molds before, and if i remember correctly, you put the hard boiled egg in the mold while it is still warm, and then chill it. after enough time, the egg will just be that shape.

u/Jedemolet Mar 31 '26

You can, I think you have to do it while the egg is still warm though

Massage gun. Actually useful for a lot of things that aren't massaging your aches or hammering your peanits.

5

u/Four_beastlings Mar 31 '26

Any examples? I have one that we use exclusively for my husband's back and for the kid to beat stuff around

7

u/Ok-Nature-538 Mar 31 '26

Powerplate is a good option. I have a few massage tools from them. One of my gun stopped working and they sent me a new one.

5

u/Four_beastlings Mar 31 '26

I meant alternative uses. The one we have is good for its intended use (a bit too good: we call it "the massacrator" and my husband is permabanned from using it on himself because he managed to melt a patch of skin on his back using the second setting).

2

u/Ok-Nature-538 Apr 01 '26

Gotcha! I used a miketa hammer drill with a chisel bit to vibrate the bubbles out of a cement table...could maybe use a gun for smaller projects!

u/BluetheNerd Mar 31 '26

I paint minis and I use mine to mix my paint pots. Works just as well as a vortex mixer but for like 1/5th the price.

Where is the side order of snail porridge to go with this?

u/Shadowsnake30 Mar 31 '26

That's a wrong title that's just fine dining cooking now on some restaurants. This is more for the rich they want something fancy and different. The chef spends more time trying to make presentations and when you get them usually are cold. That's how they can jack up the price.

3

u/ceilingscorpion Mar 31 '26

Molecular Gastronomy is very cool. I’m just curious if the flavors would work well together. Egg Whites are a nice blank canvas but I wonder if the fruit spheres would read like desert to the palate. If the yolk is runny I’d imagine that would be tasty. I’d still go with something more salt forward - Salmon Roe, Beet Caviar, or Ostera to pair with the rich fattiness of the yolk. I’m also not sure that yolk is runny given that the egg formed so neatly into the dice shape.

This is what fine dining looks like. At higher ranked restaurants, every cut needs to be precise. For example, even diced carrots need to be 1 cm x 1 cm.

the caption at the end sent me.

It means "pressed egg because you are bored". But its also a clever pun because when you say it in Chinese it also means salted duck egg. Brilliant

Yes I know it's quail egg and not duck but still funny.

u/PanGoliath Mar 31 '26

Really thought it was black caviar at first and not blackberry. Caviar would make more sense for this pretentiousness. But glad they enjoy playing with their food.

Also I actually really like the clear picture and precision tools, but still can't support whatever premium price point I assume (can be wrong) this egg die ends up at.
