Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Used to be normal for pubs! Wish it still were, I hate having to bring my tankard to the bar and then bring it back home again :-/

That’s a great looking tankard. Lid required to stop anyone putting the King’s Shilling in it while you’re distracted?

[–] CuriousObjects 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That, or rohypnol!

And thanks--it's about 230 years old and still doesn't leak.

Haha, doing better than me in both respects!

"Everybody I know went to Lemmy and all I got was this lousy tankard" would make a nice engraving...

[–] coldv 3 points 2 years ago

Ooh that would be a good one!

@mykl I am German and I love this, but I don't understand what's so hard about just taking it home with you, and bringing it next time?

[–] mykl 1 points 2 years ago

If the tankard has seen a hard evening's use perhaps carrying it home might be too much of a risk?
