This is a double trigger because it doesn’t even do what the joke would have you believe.

The genius of the forkchuck is not only in the fork, but also the chuck.

I like the “slipper spoon” because it looks like the kind of thing that would have a legitimate use, somehow. Just not really clear what.

I want this designer to set up a booth near a pot house in Cali, or Colorado, or Portland, and see how many people will pay a premium for a set of these housewares. That’s a YouTube channel I’d watch.

I love this. The pouring would be so efficient! So much cross sectional area to let tea flow through, the cup would fill very quickly compared to a normal spout.

just saying, I would pay good money for this.

I’d actually like to see this one, but with the piece connecting the two glasses hollow.

It would still be stupid, but cool, functional stupid.

For eating soup on a train.

I’m going to claim that’s the intended use.

I was thinking for mixing a liqueur into some fancy drink. so that it swirls out in color. One of those “absurd theatrical presentation is key” kind of drinks.

As someone with giant fingers which don’t always fit into mug handles (cough IKEA), I would totally use The Uncomfortable Mug. I’d hold it like a bucket handle and drink.

Where this hits peak asshole and minimum function is when you go to actually drink from it - aka final step in use cycle gets the shaft.

I’ve probably designed things that had that problem.

That would be really cool, I could imagine something like that being really expensive to buy in a martini bar.

The loop is big enough to fit a thumb through, and you could then wrap fingers around it, so for certain types of drinks and the ceramic not being too hot, you could see this one being part of some kind of cultural drink thing somewhere. A “Teyabo” cup or something (making up words here).

I mean, it’s usable with mittens, so that’s something.

It needs some sort of overly complicated device to hold and tip the cup at an appropriate angle to let the user drink it, but not too quickly as to not burn the user’s mouth.

Do we go with a counterbalanced 4 bar mechanism to allow the user to control the angle and speed while providing support, or do we use servos and temperature sensors to move the cup through a multi-axis movement appropriate to the temperature of the tea?

This one seems to have accidentally come up with a solution to spilling sugar all over the countertop when preparing a cup of coffee or tea.

The mug still induces rage as intended, though.

From my understanding it was a photo shoot and I think thats all of them (taken from Tumblr).

I was thinking a second handle and a spout on the mug to drink from. Passive solutions that will easily double the per-piece casting/assembly but probably won’t fail in the field.

That’s too easy of an answer, and how would you drink your tea if you only had one hand free? C’mon, let’s over engineer the solution!

Those are just renders. This abomination made it to market:

I’m thinking a counterweight attached to the handle to swing back opposite the weight, which linkage also opens a valve in the bottom to let the tea into the equally-absurdly-shaped saucer to cool (you can lock the valve for sipping the dregs). Which saucer has a raised edge to keep the bottom of the cup dry, and has an integral milk reservoir in the rim, which lets out only the correct amount of milk for each saucerful when you turn a little tab.

The milk metering wheel would have five or six different modular inserts, of course. For differing preference amount.

It’s been a hellish week at work, it was actually getting better, and at least it’s Friday, but then this shit pops up. Looks like there’s more down below, yippee. /s
