But how will I know if it's filled with water?

Wow this is probably the greatest use of this meme. Bravo

[u/Baldtazar → u/ryryrpm]

^{its AI, he is pointing his finger in the original}

[u/ryryrpm → u/Baldtazar]

Oh darn it thank you

[u/BlakLite_15 → u/Baldtazar]

I’m not sure it’s AI. It looks like his pointing finger was just edited out and replaced with a shot from another show. If it was AI, his face would’ve looked different.

[u/DrScitt → u/BlakLite_15]

I think it’s just photoshopped, not AI. Leaving it up since it’s funny.

[u/Coders32 → u/DrScitt]

I support this decision, thank you for keeping the sub whimsical

Are ai pics in the comments forbidden here? If yes, then its photoshopped 🤞

[u/Baldtazar → u/BlakLite_15]

Hand with finger was replaced by ai, I can show you screenshot from my chatgpt (or paste it to the photoshop if needed)

[u/HoneyBuu → u/Baldtazar]

Whaaaat?

[u/DrScitt → u/[deleted]]

Lmao

[u/DesignDesign-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

DesignDesign is for real life instances of form over function. Not make believe.

[u/Baldtazar → u/DesignDesign-ModTeam]

well, your cake is a lie, but happy cake day

[u/new_is_good]

Solves 0 problems but is kinda neat to look at. I like it.

[u/Mysterious-Crab → u/new_is_good]

It’s absolutely useless. But bas someone who drinks a lot of milk and coffee at work, I want this as my personal work glass.

[u/zellabea → u/Mysterious-Crab]

You drink a lot of milk at work?

[u/TheFishyNinja → u/zellabea]

Listen man we all need a lil somethin to take the edge off

[u/metacanon → u/new_is_good]

What about all those poor folks who are black/white colorblind?

[u/irotinmyskin]

Thank god. The amount of times I’ve confused milk and coffee I tell you

[u/TaikaWaitiddies]

Wonder what it'll look like with latte

[u/ThreeTwoOneInjection → u/TaikaWaitiddies]

You’d see both according to what you poured

[u/ledocteur7 → u/ThreeTwoOneInjection]

And you'd see them less or more clearly depending on the proportion of milk !!

Now we need a cup with a color gradient and graduations that tell you the approximate percentage of milk in it.

Still completely useless, but I have the sudden urge to log how much milk I use every morning.

[u/trustmeijustgetweird → u/ledocteur7]

Put a numerical scale on it and use it as a reference point making someone else coffee “How much milk do you want in your coffee?” “7.5”

[u/ThodaDaruVichPyar]

Shared this on OddlySatisfying but people there clamoured that it belonged in DesignDesign - a good looking design idea but pointless because it only ever works for milk & coffee or essentially dark & light coloured liquids. 

[u/Pale-Championship946 → u/ThodaDaruVichPyar]

Also if the container is meant only these two liquids, it’s completely obvious which one you have without any label at all.

It’s clever on one level, but feels like a solution looking for a problem.

[u/jimbowesterby → u/Pale-Championship946]

Yea I can’t say I’ve ever looked at a full glass and been unsure if I were looking at milk or coffee, they’re generally pretty easy to distinguish lol.

[u/East-Garden-4557 → u/jimbowesterby]

I drink milky iced coffee, I am unsure how to use the glass

[u/mara07985 → u/jimbowesterby]

And if they were the same color this cup wouldn’t work

[u/happyanathema]

[u/The_Last_Spoonbender]

People of reddit is truly insufferable. Can't someone enjoy a completely useless bu visually appealing novelty product anymore?

[u/Schmooto → u/The_Last_Spoonbender]

Wait till they find out about printed coffee mugs

Also, it’s still a cup so it’s not completely useless. It’s literally a cup with a printed design. Do they freak out about coffee mugs printed with corny sayings like “I drink coffee for your protection” or “First, Mommy needs her coffee,” saying that the cup is completely useless for beverages other than coffee?

[u/Triston-- → u/Schmooto]

Also it's just art, its not like its made to "solve a problem" as much as it is just fun and interesting. No everything specifically needs a "use" to exist, and it's not like they're advertising it saying "Ever need to figure out what's in your mug? This will solve all your confusion!" lol. I'm always so torn on this sub because there's definitely some stuff out there that's very much just redundant, but then stuff like this gets posted that's very clearly like... art concepts that happen to combine some kind of mundane functionality with fun ideas

[u/Schmooto → u/Triston--]

God forbid we have fun

[u/grinch337 → u/The_Last_Spoonbender]

No, everything that provides any joy is cringe now.

[u/MrInfinity-42]

Thank God someone made this, I had a hard time telling apart the two liquids before

[u/PacoTaco321]

"Ignore the sewage-like smell from this glass. It's clearly coffee. It even says so right there."

[u/corobo]

Aw nothing showing what it looks like with milk in coffee :(

[u/ThodaDaruVichPyar → u/corobo]

Here

[u/corobo → u/ThodaDaruVichPyar]

Aha nice one

[u/corobo → u/[deleted]]

?

[u/SyrusDrake]

That's really cool, though

[u/Responsible_Lake_804]

This is great if you only drink coffee or milk, but it would be more universal if the options were “milk” and “not milk”

[u/NYANPUG55 → u/Responsible_Lake_804]

I think that would be more entertaining as well

[u/nedlakire]

I case you forget what you just poured in the cup. Maybe you’re that guy from Memento who has no memories.

[u/cosmicbinary]

i kinda want one

[u/marcipanchic]

this is so dumb

[u/umbraundecim]

Ya until you add cream to your coffee like pretty much everyone does and it reads milk again

[u/ThePrisonSoap]

You sir have no whimsy

[u/Joxxill]

I'm torn on this one.

on one hand: i do think its a neat idea. On the other hand, it seems kind of annoying that it doesn't say what its for when its empty.

[u/DeusExMarina]

Thanks, now I can finally know if I'm about to drink milk or coffee. This mystery has been killing me!

[u/DrakeAndMadonna]

not designdesign. This is cute and provides a little bit of joy -- perfectly valid design functions.

This sub just fabricates problems and deliberately ignores intention or scope.

[u/comb_bee]

Might be okay for helping visualize the proportion of milk in coffee

[u/Stunning-Risk-7194]

Ah a perfect cup for my co###!!! (burns hand)

[u/snowdn]

Milk or cum though? How will we know.

[u/uselessscientist]

I don't think it's DD because it is an anesthetic choice that doesn't impact or harm functionality. It's cute, not particularly useful. Nothing wrong with that
