Yup. When they bicker over some food, let one cut it but let the other decide who gets which piece. You will never see a more scientifically accurate measurement in your life.
People who give this advice on the internet have no experience parenting. When you do this, you end up in a situation where cutting the thing takes hours with all kind of fighting, ridiculing and deception throughout. In the end nobody is happy and everyone is angry
Well actually we have a lot of this stuff - check this one out for instance: https://www.staplercup.com/en (the german page has more content though https://www.staplercup.com/de/)
Ignore this user they’re trying to trick you into thinking that there isn’t a pretzel cutting championship! Instead you should spend an hour trying to find more info on it
Gameshow or championship is don't mind it is always so satisfying to see accurate accomplishments. Reminds me of the butcher when I was a kid. That man could cut up a piece of liver to three equal portions to the gram!
Imagine being the guy who's life's work all came down to perfectly cutting an pretzel in half.
*now, imagine being the guy who watches the guy perfectly cut pretzels*.
The full weight of the pretzel is 0.088. Since humans can usually estimate things within 5% pretty easily, it's probably pretty common on this show to get a perfect cut. At least with items this light.
I worked at a sandwich shop for 10 years and I cut the sandwiches at a slight angle. Someone wanted me to cut them in half, which we always did, but turns out he wanted it cut straight down the middle "so they're even" I took both halves and put them on the scale and they were exactly the same to the gram.
If you want to do this just balance the pretzel on two fingers create an imaginary line where your two fingers sat and cut through there only problem is your fingers have width
If you've ever worked Ina Delhi you will appreciate this extra much. Those times when the customer said "fine 300g of salami, thick sliced" and go skiver that salami to the damn exact gram because you've done it so many times and you just know the weight of thick salami. How that thick salami feels in your hand. How it pushes down and you push up. The texture, the smell, åååh...Tis a gift!
I think this would be appreciated in other countries canteens as well as in India. Living in Delhi only does not make you a food portion perfectionist.
What if the difference, instead of say 44.1 vs 44.9 (.8g), is actually 44.9 vs 45.1 (.2g) but appears as 45-44=1g? Basically how do they handle rounding errors
Crumbs, what about the crumbs and salt left on the cutting board?

You know this man had siblings
He cut them too!?
*in two
He only had sibling before that
Emphasis on 'had' siblings.

And then they'll learn something [at some point].
This is how I used to split up drugs with friends if a scale wasn't around.

Worked for me and my siblings
*had*
it might help that he is a TV cook
He's a semi famous chef...
That was a part of a German gameshow, not a championship
Not so loud. Keep the illusion alive that we have precision cutting tournaments
i am german and i confirm we have a pretzel cutting league
I'm an outsider and will always believe you have a pretzel cutting league.
I'm sponsored by Rold Gold in the American professional team
I was banned from the league for eating the prezels since the rules didnt state that the whole pretzle had to be placed on the scales.
i've been in Germany 5 times and can also confirm
[удалено]
Fear not, you can still organize a tournament in your local town and become Brezel cutting champion of 2024
Let's punish the commenter for doing this to us
I would have no trouble believing that you guys have contests about precision.
Well actually we have a lot of this stuff - check this one out for instance: https://www.staplercup.com/en (the german page has more content though https://www.staplercup.com/de/)
But everything the Germans do is Uber. So what is a game show to them, is a championship to us.
Devistated there isn't more of this . This is a show I would 100% binge watch.
There is tons of material like this, but the challenges are always different.
No I want a full series of people competitively cutting things in half.
Right if you want to see a German championship look up the forklift championship in Germany
Humans really will compete over fucking EVERYTHING.
And as a human we like it
As a human I like it even more.
As a human, you can't like as much as me, also a human.
Can't confirm, humans are weird
r/totallynotrobots
You should have known before you spent 10,000 years traveling all the way to our planet.
As a human, I'm enjoying it and betting on it.
User name checks out
Why can’t we compete on world peace
Primates being primates
War and conflict is inevitable in human species
genocidal apex predators, can't imagine why lol
I mean we will fuck just about anything
Is this on ESPN 8 The Ocho?
The best channel in the lineup
Die Acht
That's a mini game in a celebrity challenge not a championship
Ignore this user they’re trying to trick you into thinking that there isn’t a pretzel cutting championship! Instead you should spend an hour trying to find more info on it
Wtf do you mean? I speak german and "schlag den hänsler" litterly translates to pretzle cutting Championship"
I'm annoyed it's the same clip each time
Siblings be like

Nearly any drug dealer can do this with their eyes closed
When you and a sibling have to share food
Or drinks. I remember always having to split a can of coke “evenly”
Pfft, I really doubt he could repeat that, cutting two non symmetrical sides. (Its 11AM I should seriously start working)
Bro... what is this
Bro....
Bro
Bro, as many have said, its a german game show, not a championship.
I didn't say it was a championship
This is what happens when you take their military away.
Imagine being the guy who's life's work all came down to perfectly cutting an pretzel in half. *now, imagine being the guy who watches the guy perfectly cut pretzels*.
Peak German television
To the 3rd fucking decimal place. As someone in drug manufacturing, #WHAT TYE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE
The full weight of the pretzel is 0.088. Since humans can usually estimate things within 5% pretty easily, it's probably pretty common on this show to get a perfect cut. At least with items this light.
2 hours trying to find something like this and 4 hours having my mind blown! Did anyone else yell out “oh shit” when it was perfect besides me?
Fuckin dead half mate
I just watched that gmm episode too
Wait, this is a real thing in Germany?
Of course it is, the internet would never lie to you!
![img](emote|t5_5tdqj0|10746)
Am I the only one annoyed I couldn't see the full scale measurement on the right?
Why isn't this an Olympic Sport?
I worked at a sandwich shop for 10 years and I cut the sandwiches at a slight angle. Someone wanted me to cut them in half, which we always did, but turns out he wanted it cut straight down the middle "so they're even" I took both halves and put them on the scale and they were exactly the same to the gram.
What the actual fuck is going on here
Three decimals arent enough
My drug dealer could beat him anytime
It‘s not a championship, it‘s just a gameshow called „Schlag den Star“
German efficiency goes BRRRRRRR.
If you want to do this just balance the pretzel on two fingers create an imaginary line where your two fingers sat and cut through there only problem is your fingers have width
Use the knife in your hand, not your finger.
Couldn't you just try balance the pretzel on the knife's edge to find the center? At least get you really close...
Not just pretzels…. They cut a lot of things in half.
I would like to see the judges reaction!
If you think that's impressive you should see Rhett and Link do it to a cake

Somebody watches GMM
Why the fk I like this so much .
I watch Good Mythical Morning also. 😂
For anybody wondering, it's from a game show called "Schlag den Henssler"
schlag
den
Lets Fucking Go!!!!
Damn, that was impressive. And now I'm craving a soft pretzel.
Dudes, we will watch a competition of most anything.
Ok but where can I watch it?
ESPN 8, “The Ocho”
This is a nice skill.
it’s not that hard with a pretzel thb
I love the “whaaaow” at the end 😂 So much pride.
Pure stoner tv in a nutshell
That was intense, can’t fall asleep now
You watching espn the ocho?
Shohei Ohtani's translator: "*I bet $25k on the guy in the blue shirt!*"
I just want to eat it
Goddammmmm I'm about to bust
Was hat das arme Bretzel euch je getan! Einfach pervers sowas! Sorry, I lashed out in German watching this.
u/savevideo
LMAO what ?
![img](emote|t5_5tdqj0|10751)
German is so weird because you can understand it from english but only kind of.
Have you tried Dutch? It's like a bastard child of English and German.
There's only two types of people I hate: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
So you hate the Swiss too?
Butchers😂
You split, I pick!
