"Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" is one of my favourites, it used to be some kind of law regarding the labelling of beef products. It was a fine example of how there is seemingly no limit for creating compound nouns but it no longer exists, my guess is that people simply grew tired of saying it.

I have been learning German in Duolingo for a pretty long time. I liked this word "Kaputt" which means broken. I keep saying "Mein Kopf ist kaputt" whenever my brain aint working.
I like the word "Kopfkissen" as well which means pillow. I keep saying "Ich liebe das bett und das kopfkissen" as well

As "Kopfkissen" is literally a "head pillow", resting a broken head on it makes it a "Kaputtkopfkissen", I guess :)

Krakenbraten.

You need to catch das Kraken and then you make das Braten from das Kraken.

If you eat too much of it, do you catch Krakenbratenkrankenheit?

Logic suggests that you would, provided that Krakenbraten's made from an actual substance of some sort.
I coined the concept only yesterday, so I haven't had time to taste it, as of yet.
The big clue lies in the "too much" section. Even water can make for Wasserkrankenheiten as you probably know.

I'd say you don't just love "the bed" but more specifically your bed and your pillow, right? so, mein Bett und mein Kopfkissen

Und du willst keine Hornissen in dein Kopfkissen.

Well those two sentences are different actually, they are not related to each other. My sentences might be grammatically wrong because of course duolingo does not make you fluent (of cuz the sentence "mein kopf ist kaputt" must be grammatically wrong"). Duolingo just teaches basics.
