Came to say the same thing. That's impressive for raw eggs or eggs in general.

That’s what am actually saying 😂 a lot of times it gets cracked by mistake while just holding it in my hand, i mean that wasn’t even 1 KG worth of pressure force and it cracked it open. So how the fuck it can hold a damn TON or even 200 lbs that’s ridiculous to even think about it 😂😂

Because you didn't drop a ring of them is why it broke

Why is that? Eggs are ridiculously strong and it would be weird if they gave out any sooner. Eggs are one of the strongest known shapes and can take a huge vertical load, it's likely how people discovered the archway.

Each egg should be able to hold about 100 pounds on their own and 20 of them holding 2500 pounds is about right considering the more of their is the stronger and better at displacing the load the structure gets

See if knew eggs were strong but not this strong. That's pretty neat 👌

Wtf bro ? Are you serious ?! That would be the most thing that ever amazed me and nothing even close ! That’s even more shocking and surprising to me than fuckin space bro ! You telling me that’s not AI or some fucked up video ? U telling me that chicken eggs can really hold that weight on top of it ? Wtf ! Thats ridiculous 😂, bro i crack open it while cooking by just looking at them 😂😂 ! If that’s really true that would be the most impressive, amazing and shocking thing physics would ever give me ! 😂

u/Conscious-Bite1 Sep 18 '26

That doesn’t look like 1.25 tons to me

u/Fart-Sniffin_Nelson Sep 18 '26

Wrong, it’s 200 lbs the video says so
