Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The Capillary Cup is a zero-gravity cup designed by NASA astronaut Donald Pettit on the International Space Station. The product is an open drinking cup designed to be used in a microgravity environment, developed from Pettit’s desire to drink water without a bag and straw in outer space.

TIL: Vulvas are shaped like zero-gravity drinking cups.

[–] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Rather the other way around. If it can keep a baby inside for nine months it can probably hold some coffee.

I don't like the word "vulva". It's like a NSFW Volvo.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Volvo is the masculine intonation while vulva is the feminine.

I'm sure the 60ish comments are all going to be about how it looks like a vulva, and there won't even be a single comment that doesn't reference the fact that it looks like a vulva

Edit: exactly two top-level comments in this thread don't directly reference the fact that it looks like a vulva

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 33 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Somewhat ironic that you contribute to that metric with this very comment!

Sometimes you gotta get your shoes dirty when you're counting turds or something, I'm too tired to say something smart right now

You think this was posted with the intent of having a discussion about zero g fluid physics?

Speak for yourself.

And then there is the moment you realize a real pussy doesn’t taste like coffee.

I need to speak with the wife, I have... ideas

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 31 points 9 months ago (3 children)

FYI internal body temperature is 37℃ and coffee tastes best when at that temperature.

Not recommended for tomato juice, fruit punch or red wine.

Conversation in a future space Starbucks: Me: “I’d like a triple grande, soy, no foam latte in a to-go vulva.” Barista: “Yes sir…”

Conversation in my local Starbucks tomorrow: Me: “I’d like a triple grande, soy, no foam latte in a to-go vulva.” Barista: “Sir, I have a taser and pepper spray, if you leave now, I won’t call the cops.”

Good to know that pussy won't spill the load when in zeroGs.

[–] Ersatz86@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It might spill if you snatch it

Hint of Vagina

[–] Steve@startrek.website 18 points 9 months ago

Thats a vulva

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 16 points 9 months ago (5 children)

All joking aside, does it work under normal earth gravity?

Well, they have to be conservative about volume and weight when packing for space travel. So sometimes things have to serve multiple purposes.
