thick fork.

i don't drink champagne, i can ignore the engagement mugs since i can serve my coffee in the still useful uncomfortable mug

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the champagne glasses would be a great addition to my eye wash station

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, great for filling with bleach.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd rather look at pictures of puppies

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah the rest of them can function but the ffffoooorrrrkkkk is straight up unusable

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Could use it to mash potatoes

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

If get rid of the fork too.

Could probably file down and reglaze the handles on the engagement mugs. The uncomfortable mug could be used to hold toothbrushes or something and the champagne glasses can be candle holders.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I would do all the same choices except ignore uncomfortable mug, and carefully break one handle and use the other engagement mug with it’s handle intact

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Obviously the mugs. I can fill only one of those champaign glasses and still have a functional glass. A mug hanging on the handle of another, no matter which is filled, is arguably the least convenient item here

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Dual wield the mugs.

PS: alamy.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You have to dual wield them looped together, or else it's just 2 mugs and not inconvenient.

Even holding the 2 mugs together at the same time looped in is less convenient, and they wont both sit straight. I stand by my choice

[–] Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just cut one of the handles and separate the mugs.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That works. I assumed in this challenge we cannot alter the inconvenience out. I could fix all those items in theory.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Engagement mugs have gotta be the worst.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's actually an IRL version called a Bilikum, or friendship jugs.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 16 points 1 year ago

The uncomfortable mug is actually kinda practical for the two handed hand warming grip.

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

At first i considered the fork as the others can all be used if you only fill the one vessel you want to drink from and the fork isnt useful for anything, however something was nagging at me and i realise i would get rid of the person who wrote the meme, "which one you choosing".

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Fuck the fork

Engagement mugs can be fixed with a hammer, uncomfortable mug is functional, champagne glass can be used to put flowers in.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Engagement mugs have to go.

I can make the others work, mostly

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I can use the mugs for plants and... idk, troll someone with the fork. Wtf am I gonna do with that champagne glass?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tilt it so that one glass is above the other and then pour both in your mouth at the same time.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I don't think that's how physics

Propagation station for your plants :)

Either use a straw or only fill one side? Is that cheating?

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thorcc

Because it's the odd one out

[–] SirBucksworth@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Tbh I want all of them in my life

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Get rid of?

[–] match@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

uncomfy mug is not even in the same tier as these, it is merely okay

[–] ramsgrl909@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I just can't imagine being able to eat anything with that fork, would rather use my fingers

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is a strictly correct answer. The mugs. Please note that they cannot exist due to issues with glaze application.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 12 points 1 year ago

Anything is possible if you believe.

You could underglaze or varnish them when leather-hard and then interlock the handles before mounting to the mug.

You could also probably just use regular glazes and clear coat by applying with a paintbrush and patience rather than dipping them in the glaze.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Engagement mugs.

The others are awkward, but the engagement mugs actively fuck everything up worse by adding another human into the equation.

Even without the other human, you have a mug dangling off yours, getting in the way.

And even if you break one of the mugs off, you still are left with a mug with an awkward handle.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fork must go. I have four kids, and they'll eventually "take care of" the others even if not instructed to do so.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thick fork. I keep every single of the glasses or cup either as candle holder or plant pot.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do those glasses communicate?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

at resonance frequency

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can still use the mugs and glasses (nothing says they both have to be full), so get rid of the unusable fork.

[–] aufbau161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i was gonna say the knife-fork because all of the others might be usable if one only filled one container but i expect the champaign ~~glasses glas glasses~~ glas would tipp over if only ~~one off them half off them~~ only one off the glass containers would be filled so that means that the cursed glass ware needs to go

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

Also for the engagement mugs: just break the handle off one of them 😜

The thick fork could be used as a hammer or meat tenderiser or paper weight 😂

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Toss the fork

You can break the other mug that's stick, the weird handle isn't in the way and the champaign glasses well, whatever. They can collect dust.

[–] nomoredrama@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd keep them all. Either sell them, or throw them in the trash. Either way, I wouldn't use any of them.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

Selling and throwing in the trash is just a more specific way of saying "get rid of".
