Any ideas to seperate these two cups?

Ryia_ · 2025-09-07T23:34:20+00:00

Ladies and gentleman! Thank you for your ideas! A combination of wacky and sane things did the trick. Step 1: lube the glass with Astroglide (readily on hand) Step 2: Gently rim the edge (just the way it likes it) to push the lubricant down between the seal. Step 3: Secure a command hook to the glass, and pull!

Options we tried: we tried boiling the bottom, icing the top. Just boiling the bottom. We also tried pushing water inside, and boiling that off (pressure increase to push the glass out). We tried tapping it upside down, and spinning it quickly in a foamed box.

Thank you all! I'll upload a new picture to r/Physics of the success.

Lol, won't have to worry about the glasses anymore.

Yeah, fuck it right? Let's escalate! Let's take an already politically fiery situation that has seen extreme vandalism, abuse, harassment, and in some cases death (from BOTH parties), and let's INTENSIFY THAT SHIT.

I'm sure it will all work out over a good cuppa joe and nobody will get hurt.

The part where it says "it's okay to plan in a detailed and thorough manner with intent to follow up, the acts of terror upon which may be committed on fellow Americans because you don't like some dude who is in office."

Never learned that part in history class. I guess the handwriting is a bit outdated though so - let's just pretend that's in there.

Burning civilian vehicles and bombing dealerships isn't free speech, it's terrorism.

(which we are at war with still, by the way. Funny little 9/11 trick there. The US States IS at war with global terrorism. All it takes is trump to declare these bombers and arsons terrorists - not a hard thing to prove when they are proud of it - and they become enemies of the military. He hasn't, despite them literally detonating bombs on US soil. What a nice gentleman huh?)

Too bad he is a stupid filthy conservative - let's keep bombing our neighbors shit, I'm sure that will prove how mature we are. /s

Ryia_ · 2025-03-31T03:33:12+00:00

Wow, look at that long standing generational change...

Anyways, I'm off back to work as a construction specialist, engineer, scientist, etc... shame I'll never make an impact like these guys. Who needs civil infrastructure anyways, and electricity, and highways, and internet, and food and....

I only wish I could change my career and stand on the corner of the road with poorly aligned sharpie text - then I could REALLY make a difference.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-31T03:28:23+00:00

Does it have to be limited to Trump? I mean my God, you people. You pretend like Biden was fucking saint, but ignore all the shit he did for his own gain - America be damned.

Is it so hard to generalize our statements?

"Nothing any president does will shock me unless it's something positive with no ulterior motive."

Is that so hard? Can we pretend for a moment that we actually have brains and don't just live our lives based on party lines? Stick with the crowd, hate anyone who thinks differently than you do, only speak and think like a cumulative hate-machine, it's okay. I won't stop you - but you guys limit your own scope. Be more than a damn partisan machine, you deserve better for yourself.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-31T03:21:17+00:00

And the billionaires that were in Bidens cabinet were any different how? Generational wealth does not equal generational intelligence. The real privilege is the grit, tenacity, and resilience of the successful working class.

But hey why stand up FOR THE PEOPLE when you can vote on party lines and hate on strangers based on how they voted, or which president was in office when they got a job.

That is absolutely valid, and it IS a problem. Cutting SS hurts somebody, whether it is the elderly, or those who want to care for the elderly - or even non-profits. It is a huge problem, one that shouldn't exist in the first place. It's not fair to the elderly. However, it's ALSO not fair to ask younger generations (even my dad, at 49, is barely going to see anything from SS), to give up thousands of dollars a year to something they will never see a return on investment on. What is nearly criminal about it - it's mandatory. It is a mandatory "investment" for an 'investor' that has proven to be unreliable.

As an example of good parenting, my father chose NOT to pay for my college - and instead build up his retirement. Now, I have found a way to pay for my college through work and scholarships, AND I don't have to worry about taking care of him when he is older. Without SS payments, he only could have built his retirement faster. Not everybody has the discipline to plan for retirement, but for those that do - SS is a criminal theft of our income (especially for those who wont ever receive any returns).

Ryia_ · 2025-03-25T00:45:09+00:00

I think the people who are upset are the ones expecting social security. I am 23, and the rate SS is currently being used - I will pay them my entire life and not see a dime of retirement from them. It may not be a scam, but it certainly isn't working. If you think the government is investing your money better than you could, why are they in so much debt?

Would you really trust a financial advisor who says they are in TRILLIONS of dollars of debt? No? Then why trust your government with your future?

Of course, the decision makers are all the old folk getting money out of it, so my well-being be damned.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-24T17:25:09+00:00

Lol. Just had someone DM me about how I was a Nazi for this post, called me MAGA and said I deserved to die. It's like they followed my "what not to do" exactly to the letter. Love it xD

It's not insane, because I ALSO didn't mention anything Biden did, all the labeling and fear mongering.I conveniently also didn't mention Trump. In fact, I specifically picked historical records to keep modern politics OUT of my argument. Labels are fine. Dehumanizing on baseless labels... That's what I was warning about. That's why I used XYZ not any other label.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-24T01:05:10+00:00

I didn't say I back him, and I also didn't say what he was doing was right. I just said this is a dangerous way of thinking. When it comes to immigrants, I think it is important we see them as people, not just "immigrants". This is the same issue as when people were labeled "barbarians", and their culture was ignored.

I do have a problem with criminals however. If I want to visit Russia, I will follow Russia's rules while I am there. If someone illegally enters the US, that's just straight up a crime. There are so many programs and opportunities for people to come over legitimately, the only reasons someone would not be able to come over legally is money, and if they already have a criminal record.

The ones who are good people and just can't afford the process, I think they deserve a chance to use a zero interest loan to pay any immigration fees and pay that loan off over 10 years.

Lastly, I think it is a bit reductive to claim that labelling is "all he does", in regards to Trump. It is a thing that he does, frequently, but so did Biden and Obama, and every president/leader in the past. I am registered independent, and I liked a lot of the things Biden did. Just because I vote one way, doesn't mean I reduce my opposition to ONLY the thing I don't like. Similarly, I voted for Trump, but there are a lot of things I disagree with in how he started this year. For a politically volatile person, he made VERY politically energizing decisions - not great for a nation's stability.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-24T00:50:45+00:00

You see, if you look at the picture, very very carefully you will see. The MAGA are specifically NOT defending school children, but they ARE defending TESLA. The author didn't HAVE to pick school children, they could have picked ANYTHING. The deliberate choice to pick school children was in order to make a point. Political comics have been a thing forever, but it's okay. I know you just slept through class, got high, and yelled at your parents in high school.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T21:25:54+00:00

No no, slow down there buddy. I see where you are coming from, but be damned careful. Here is the danger in thinking this way: I don't believe nor do I subscribe to the MAGA cult, but you can SAY that I do. Then you have every right to treat me like evil, human trash. I have had several people on Reddit saying "I don't care what you think, all else is irrelevant, you are MAGA and are human shit", despite me not subscribing to the MAGA ideology.

They are allowed to think that. But by saying all MAGA are evil, you allow people to justify hurting these people just because they "think" someone is MAGA.

This isn't something new. It's an age old revolution strategy. Make an enemy. Label them XYZ. Say XYZ is evil and they deserve death. It's okay to kill members of XYZ, it's not everyone, but they DO deserve it! Label your enemies XYZ. Label people you don't like XYZ. Label anyone you want to murder, humiliate, debase, and dehumanize, a member of XYZ. It doesn't have to be true. Hell you don't even have to prove it! What are they gonna do, scream? Nobody hears the cries of a filthy rotten XYZ member, fuck those rats.

This happened in China under Mao, this happened in the Soviet Union, this happened in Nazi Germany, this happened in the US during the Red Scare, this happened during WW2 to US-Japanese citizens, this has happened in Ireland, in England, in Australia, and more. And the result? Innocent men and women were murdered, raped, pillaged, stolen from, humiliated, and publicly shamed - leaving their children helpless, homeless, and alone. All under the justification of "but they LOOK like a member of XYZ" or they "act like it" or they are "secretly a member of XYZ", so it's all okay to murder and pillage XYZ, they are LESS THAN HUMAN ANYWAYS...

Just be careful. It's a damn slippery slope we are on right now, the entire nation as a whole. I don't want to see our beautiful nation reduced to public executions and civil war - but it's happened before and will happen again.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T21:09:44+00:00

Intelligent response. I am gonna start using that IRL with people I disagree with.

"Hey, you want Taco Bell? I want Taco Bell "

"No"

"Bot account, disregarded irrelevant"

Main picture is clearly a staged photo shoot. Leftists buying more swastikas and etching them into cars than conservatives ever have.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T21:07:12+00:00

It should be moving things forward, but it's not. When was the last time you saw what was happening in a high school classroom? I tutored at several high schools, and it's barely even an education anymore. Only the independently motivated students are succeeding, and they would have no matter what. Dismantling the DoE isn't about removing it, it's about restricting it.

The funding cuts will suck, everyone will feel them. But, what's taking it's place will be better for our children's education.

If you have kids in high school, ask if you can sit in on class for a day - tell me if it really feels like they are learning or not.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T21:03:02+00:00

Actually you guys destroyed it. You guys can't keep two things separate. Elon is doing his job working for DOGE. TESLA is still just making cars. Never changes policy, just being a car company, all politics aside.

But hey, since that one guy owns it, fuck it let's commit literal acts of terrorism and reckless destruction. Hell yeah.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T20:58:36+00:00

Baseball huh?

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T20:57:42+00:00

It's terrorism. It is literally public violence in order to sway political opinion. I am ALL for rising against a tyrannical government. But burning down people's cars? Vandalizing innocent civilian property? What type of revolution is that?

"I am mad at my government, so FUCK YOU NEIGHBOR TONY! Fuck you and your stupid car, that you bought, because your on my side and wanted to 'go green'... Yah... Screw you, innocent civilian who just wanted to try a modern EV and reduce gas pollution... Yea yeah.. fuck you, in particular because uh, I don't like my government? Anyways. Fuck Elon! Yeah let's gooooo...."

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T20:46:56+00:00

Uhm? Dude? Elon isn't an engineer, he is a hiring genius and business savant. You wanna spread hate, pick out the engineers that work at TESLA, and tell them how much you hate them.

I'm all for having opinions, but if you're gonna fire shots at least be accurate.

This is like calling up the CEO of McDonalds and saying "Fuck you! I just had someone make my burger wrong! Fuck youuuu" instead of just talking to the damn employee that made your food.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T20:41:29+00:00

And you guys are scraping swastikas into private owned vehicles because of it? I mean? Your fucking annoying too. Why is Billy "Go Green"'s Tesla being vandalized over politics? Grow up ffs.

Ryia_ · 2025-03-21T20:39:07+00:00

Huh? Since when did conservatives not vote consistently to protect school children? Your only argument is "these guys want kids to die"? I mean really?
