are there any more of these? or does anyone know the artist? I'd love to be entertained more

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 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, great for filling with bleach.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'd rather look at pictures of puppies

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Could use it to mash potatoes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days 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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Get rid of?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Engagement mugs have gotta be the worst.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days 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".

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days 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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Dual wield the mugs.

PS: alamy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just cut one of the handles and separate the mugs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Engagement mugs have to go.

I can make the others work, mostly

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I don't think that's how physics

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Propagation station for your plants :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day 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 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] baggins 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Thorcc

Because it's the odd one out

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Tbh I want all of them in my life

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do those glasses communicate?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

at resonance frequency

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Shouldnt this be loss

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] Fiivemacs 2 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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