I want to spill my coffee all the time too

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 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Hey, at least they said you look nice

[–] distantsounds 2 points 10 months ago

I’ve known shepherd pie to be quite the opposite

[–] agent_flounder 23 points 10 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 18 points 10 months ago

That is also true.

[–] Frozengyro 10 points 10 months ago

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

[–] thenewred 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] chetradley 10 points 10 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?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

not just a rock. a hot rock at that.

want a challenge? pour McDonald's coffee in

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

Who calls it the ear?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In Denmark we call it Hank

Ear seems reasonable enough compared

What surname do you give it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Well the instance is Dutch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Ooh that makes sense

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Is that Magnus?
