New venture!

misbehavin

I've decided to invest in developing a high-tech tea mug that will determine if the cup is about to spill and compensate by automatically closing the top to prevent the BURNING CROTCH!

FUCKING HELL IT HURTS SO GODDAMN BAD!! DAMN YOU BOOKS!!!

I thought this would be a Venture Brothers thread.

I was mistaken...

Handsome Costanza

this isnt about venture bros.

misbehavin

I'm not just venting here, I've decided to make this new mug. I need partners. Who's in?

You can have an equity stake in the new company, and perhaps even a desk. We will take the mug world by storm; no one will see us coming.

Is this about venture bros?

Air

easy
suspend a cup within a bucket on very low friction bearings allowing it to turn 360 degrees
fill the cup up and let gravity keep it upright at all times

drink your coffee through a straw

It is now.

So, how about them venture brothers? Eh? EH?

(I know nothing about venture brothers...)

Burning Organ

Those bros sure are venturing a lot nowadays.

Air

alternatively just pour the little cup into the large bucket and try not to lift it up and tip it onto your head and you should be okay

your first problem is that you were drinking tea, and not coffee

also, you need to make a sipee cup for adults

Phonehand

you know the word venture has existed in the english language for at least ten years guys

Handsome Costanza

im going to kill myself

Won't this mean the cup will automatically close every time you try to take a sip?
I guess you'll have to explain how it works to be sure.

the lip of the cup will actually have a super advanced lip print reader that will only let it open with your unique lip print. added security and protection from people wanting to roofie your drinks

If you're not careful it clamps down on your lip.

msuitepyon

Maybe a switch with a G-force meter attached? The setpoint of the switch could be low enough to close when falling, but high enough to allow drinks..

autono-wally, erotibot300

It would need some kind of diaphragm shutter that retracted into the sides of the mug

Tea is amazing. Coffee is good, too, don't get me wrong, but if I had to choose a beverage to drink for eternity, it would be tea. If I had to pick a specific tea, it would sencha. Or maybe gunpowder.

Also this sort of thing already exists, more or less. It is a travel mug.

What the hell, people?

I start reading this damned Death Star book by Michael Reeves because you said it was good. I can get past the fact that the prison planet is called Despayre. Ok, fine, whatever.

At a certain point, this criminal type sneaks aboard and is hiding out. He forges a temporary id badge with the name, and I am not fucking kidding you here, Teh Haxxor.

Coffee is too bitter for me. Which is a shame when I'm trying to stay alert. I fall asleep drinking Red Bull.

The idea would be that you'd have to be physically holding the cup for it to remain open. If you let go of the cup, the top closes.

Fingerprints will be involved.

Okay, really, I'm just mad that my crotch burns... Burns!

I hope Childress signs Favre for two years.

Ok, that was harsh. I'm sorry.

You should focus on the crotch part instead of the tea part.

Make a good comfortable crotch plate that protects from scorching and you're set.

MrMonroe

damnit now I'm trying to figure out a way of doing this mechanically and without user interference

nothing is coming to mind which wouldn't also prevent you from drinking it
