I want to spill my coffee all the time too

[-] oce@jlai.lu 25 points 7 months ago

It should be fine if you have the ability to open your hand a little and grab this mug like you grab a glass.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

With how thin the mug is, it’ll be way too hot to hold if doing coffee/tea. It’s a novelty design and disregards all the functionality of a mug. I was gifted some slim factor mugs and they were completely useless, but they looked nice.

Why do you have to call me out like that?

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Hey, at least they said you look nice

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I’ve known shepherd pie to be quite the opposite

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

Ha I can do that without some fancy cup

This would be more analogous to rock climbing if cliffs regularly and rapidly rotated 90-120 degrees and your center of mass shifted and oscillated like a fluid at the same time. A grip that works one direction does not necessarily work nearly as well when rotated or weight shifted.

If you can't get enough grip on a pinch to drink from a coffee mug, you won't have enough to hold your body weight.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

That is also true.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

I think it's just a neat mug for someone into rock climbing, not meant to actually train someone.

[-] thenewred@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

True with crimps, not as important with pinches, which is what this mug is

[-] chetradley@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I mean I'd probably just ask for a regular mug, but isn't this more of a novelty and not really marketed to us?

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 12 points 7 months ago

not just a rock. a hot rock at that.

want a challenge? pour McDonald's coffee in

[-] the_rogue@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

Why ?? Wouldn't it me more grippy than usual plain smooth glasses and cups ?

[-] thedarkfly@feddit.nl 9 points 7 months ago

It's replacing the ear of the cup. You're not supposed to hold it by grabbing it with your hand (like a glass), but by the tip of your fingers.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

I'm sorry, the ear? You mean the handle?

Who calls it the ear?

[-] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

In Denmark we call it Hank

Ear seems reasonable enough compared

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

[-] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 months ago
[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Well the instance is Dutch

[-] the_rogue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Ooh that makes sense

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Is that Magnus?
