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".

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Engagement mugs have gotta be the worst.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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

[–] ramsgrl909@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 62 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

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 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, great for filling with bleach.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 16 hours 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 16 hours 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

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Engagement mugs have to go.

I can make the others work, mostly

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 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 7 points 9 hours 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 4 points 8 hours ago

I don't think that's how physics

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours 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 11 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Dual wield the mugs.

PS: alamy.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours 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 16 hours ago (1 children)

Just cut one of the handles and separate the mugs.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

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

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours 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.

Shouldnt this be loss

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Thorcc

Because it's the odd one out

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours 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.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 5 points 16 hours 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 10 points 16 hours 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.

[–] SirBucksworth@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Tbh I want all of them in my life

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Do those glasses communicate?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

at resonance frequency

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

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

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours 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 14 hours ago

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