@gedeonm I can't aim from those distances anyway, my cup is much smaller than this sink, and the tea tastes the same, I’ll pour poor, thank you.
(What is it with rating items by random criteria that barely have any effect on typical uses of an object?)
I think there are tea ceremonies (the ringing bowl is a clue) that depend on the effect and showmanship. They are quite involved and ritualistic.
It's a pre-SUV penis comparison.
@uliwitness @gedeonm craftsmanship, personal satisfaction, the deep focus that comes with having a special interest, i can keep going.
the video is not an attack. it's okay to pour tea normal style. in fact, you can even use teabags. it's not against the law.
just watch the pretty water go bloop, you will feel better
@uliwitness @gedeonm i must insist you never watch knife-sharpening videos. if this annoys you, them shits will send you right over the edge.
they are amazing.
don't watch them.
You can make it entirely westerner science nerd mindset as a study in laminar flow, which can really be quite remarkable in its properties once you have met the conditions. There are probably dozens of YouTube vids on just that aspect of water. Fluid dynamics.
And with the history of pottery and ceramics, there are some remarkable pitcher/tea pot designs that whistle, only pour a certain amount before’ reset’ and do other seemingly magic things.
Other 'magic things' may include pots with 2 chambers, for different fluids from the same container.
Also known as the assassin's teapot!

Here's a short video explaining how they work:

@rubinjoni @thegarbagebird @gedeonm Not really. There were those late night commercial presentations and their ridiculous “you can use our knife to cut a coke can”, which turned out to have completely different criteria than the usual problem of getting past the resistant skin of a tomato.
When did you last have to cut a coke can? See! 😂
@uliwitness @rubinjoni @gedeonm you've never had to take the widet out of a guinness tin? do you even recycle? one of those daytime-tv-between-the-soaps, late-night-between-the-life-insurance-commercials knifes will sort you right out!
eversharp! you know serration? what if they did more of it? you never have to sharpen it, because you can't sharpen it! if you see one of them shits on a knife-pervert channel, it will be because they have sanded down that brittle bullshit steel and made it ALMOST as sharp as a knife made of literal jelly crystals.
sometimes you get a free paring knife. it's equally useless because you aren't a presentation chef, you don't need a passion paring knife
@thegarbagebird @uliwitness @rubinjoni @gedeonm
That reminds me of a fictional scythe:
"Death's scythe is one of the two sharpest objects in existence. It is capable of slicing air, shadows and even time. Most importantly, it is designed to sever souls from their mortal shells. The blade is almost transparent, but glows blue thanks to the energy released by atoms splitting on its edge"
I'm happy to have shared a Discworld gem you love.

Refill of your demitasse sir?
I’m not certain how its volume compares to a shot of espresso.
