Wide circular openings are terrible to pour from. If you are planning to pour something, ideally start it in a container with a spout - a built-in feature with the same effect as the straw or chopsticks other comments mention. If no spouted vessel is available, picking a vessel with the smallest opening possible is next best.
Either pour or do not pour. There is no try.
Like seeing a hawk dive on a rabbit hiding in the brush where a single mistake could condem the hawk to a slow death, that is not bravery. That is total commitment to the task at hand.
I am most impressed by the fact that this image has a caption
I had to “select text” to view it in my app
Man tries to pour liquid from a cup to a bowl. At first it sticks and drips along the wall of the cup, missing the bowl by falling of the bottom of the cup. The man then adjusts the aim to place the bottom of the cup over the bowl. The liquid didn’t stick this time and he missed the bowl again since it poured the way he expected it to the first try. There is a caption “me trying to learn from my mistakes”
Nice but they forgot to mention the details on his Christmas sweater.
Pro-tip: hold a chopstick upright against the cup rim to guide it down into the container you’re pouring into
Holy shit that’s smart
I like this! Side note, I used to be a section man on the railroad and am very familiar with a “Track Shovel”. The old name for railroad sectionmen was “Gandy Dancers”. Not sure of the origin. Anyways, did you used to level and align the tracks?
I do see someone else already mentioned it. Beat me to the punch :P
Lay a chopstick, straw, or other kitchen stick across the rim of the mug, and surface tension will guide the liquid along it into the container. Chem lab technique I learned in high school
Shitty diagram?
One shitty diagram coming right up!

I think this is what you’re using? But anyways, thanks for the screenshot. I have been looking for an app like that to do quick drawings
Yes, that’s the one I’m using. I grabbed it specifically to make the quick diagram and still need to learn the full feature set
chat peepee cld never make anything so perfect
Right? I’m out here making simple instructive diagrams in a matter of a minute or two, and I didn’t even drink as much water as I should have yesterday.
every water you drink is water that can’t go to datacenters!
Absolutely perfect! Thanks.
Happy to help!
Glorious work. Excellent use of free will
Thank you! It feels a little deterministic to me?
Move the upright mug upwards in a quick jerky motion so the water spills upward,
Quickly place the bowl where the mug used to be to catch the water.12% of the time it works every time
I like those odds.
Life hates cowards
Well gravity is a weak force after all…
Not to be confused with the weak force, which is ironically stronger than gravity (but with a much shorter reach.)
“Screw in with confidence.”
Jokes on the cup, I just pour from the bottom edge.
Real humans move the bowl.
If your bowl diameter is as big as your table you needn’t move anything. Checkmate physics.
pour into, not over
pour in pour over, gets you coffee. It’s like a magic spell just by rearranging the words!
