nak@i0null Randall Munroe’s most recent WhatIf video was on if the glass was literally half empty (vacuum) https://youtu.be/0EytSWiKrFg?si=o-P4JOObBYZPAxyZ
What if a glass of water were LITERALLY half empty?

I'm with the physicists. The glass in never empty.
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@simonzerafa @i0null I’ve done it with oatmeal… does that count?
You could freeze the water in that position 😉

Peter Makholm (Dansk)@i0null The bottom left, water in the top half of the glass, is probably Randall Munroe...
RejZoR@i0null There's also "Guys, this is just piss" kind of glass...

bananamangodog@i0null The closest I get is Physicist but recognise that the tapered glass holds more in the top half than the bottom.
agremon@i0null E ti, de quen ves sendo?
@i0null It’s truly frightening the number of times I’ve dipped my watercolor brush into my water glass then absentmindedly drunk from it minutes later. 😜
Paul 💙 28 💔 💚The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don’t think so. My glass was half full! And it was a bigger glass!

ARGVMI~1.PIFWhen I first heard about the glass-half-empty/full thing, I was about 10 years old, and my first thought was that it depends on the glass' previous state.
If the glass was previously closer to full, then someone must be draining it, so now it's half empty. If the glass was previously closer to empty, then someone must be filling it, so now it's half full.
I wonder what that says about me? 🤔
@argv_minus_one I'd agree with you. It makes senses to use clear terms for state-transitions. But even in a static context, there is also perception.
Linguistically there is like a many-to-many relationship between the language we use and the context were trying to communicate.

Ethan Black@i0null Another reaction would be that we don't know, as it would be hard to pour EXACTLY a half glass, and especially hard to keep it that way.
