Do you drink from the middle, with tea running down to the left and of your mouth?

Or do you rotate it and drink from one of those bumps, feeling like you're drinking straight from a teapot or tea pourer, in an uncomfortable off angle?

You awkwardly wrap your lips around the rim, then pull your head back.

Remember to relax your throat. It's gonna come quick.

Yes, I would like a refund on my ability to read.

I can see it - a face full of tea

[–] Keegen@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Roll your tongue into a tube and suck the drink through it, obviously!

I am a skeleton so I don't care or I use OP isekai magic to teleport liquid straight to my stomach.

I am a skeleton

In Overlord, there's a scene where the skeleton protagonist eats a cookie and catches the crumbles crumbling out of his jaw with his hand below. :D

I will wait till its room temperature then I am going to pour it on my face, slowly, not breaking eye contact. Like people in bottled water ads do. Is there any other way?

bendy straw... with a pinky out

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Not just bendy but one of those ones that does a bunch of loops and goes around your eyes

So, I have the same issue with these coffee cups that were gifted to us:

They're almost square. They're squircles, technically. You gotta hold it at about a 45 degree angle to drink from it. You drink at the corner

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

That bump frightens me. I'm awkwardly turning my wrist an extra 45° to drink at the straighter part.

oh, I see, those round edges are for the nose

[–] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

From the bump to the left of the handle (if right handed). It's pretty close to the angle I'd hold the cup anyway, so shouldn't be uncomfortable at all.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just don't tilt it so much and slurp loudly.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 months ago

Ignore the handle and hold it between your hands to get it at a usable angle, surreptitiously cooling the tea with an ice spell to avoid burning your fingers.
