I want to spill my coffee all the time too

[-] oce@jlai.lu 25 points 11 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 11 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.

they were completely useless, but they looked nice.

Why do you have to call me out like that?

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Hey, at least they said you look nice

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I’ve known shepherd pie to be quite the opposite

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 23 points 11 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 11 months ago

That is also true.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 10 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

[-] chetradley@lemmy.world 10 points 11 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?

[-] cryptosporidium140@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 12 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

[-] thedarkfly@feddit.nl 9 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

Who calls it the ear?

[-] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

In Denmark we call it Hank

Ear seems reasonable enough compared

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

[-] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago
[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Well the instance is Dutch

[-] the_rogue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Ooh that makes sense

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago
