It's how people used to recycle things before the recycling industry. Nowadays people do it because they're pretentious hipster fags.

>>16528504
Because they're spastic black faggots

>>16528504
>I never really got the appeal
That's because you're gay

>>16528504
why do you drink out of cups? Is there some appeal I am unware of?

Rhetorical question, btw. I know for a fact certain drinks are more enjoyable in certain beverage vectors.

I do not drink tea from a metal canteen. I don't drink pepsi from a coffee mug. I don't take water in from rainclouds. Tea tastes best from a teacup, you fucking deadtongue moron

I use one as a soap dispenser in my kitchen. :)

You can use mason jars to store your weed when you aren't drinking out of them

Because why not?

>>16528632
You type like a retard

>>16528504
They're a quart. Fuck babby cups

>>16528504
i'd guess 1/3 are memeing nerds and the other 2/3 are just retaining poorfag habits or just like jars. i only drink out of jars. jars come complimentary with most of the foods i eat, why throw them away if i can put stuff in them or drink out of them
mason jars in particular are good for measuring shit too
pic is a mole jar 10/10 for repurposing as drinking vessel

I have dozens and dozen of them for canning. I use them out of laziness or if Im making something hot I that I need a cover for.

>>16528504
I do this because none of my cups are big enough, and I don't like getting up every 10 mins for a refill. Also I get the jars for free with my marinara sauce so I might as well lol.

>>16528504
Because I buy food packaged in Mason jars (pickles, sauces, etc) and then I end up with jars. Why buy cups if I already have jars?

I also use leftover jars and cans and such to grow herbs

>>16528632
Assuming the cup is clean, what changes about the taste of tea when using a tea cup and one for coffee?

>>16528504
Ball jars are a decent way to store shit even if you aren't into pickling, which you should be. The best jar deals are in bulk, so you always end up with extras.

>>16528632
>not drinking water straight from the source as if it were manna from heaven

>>16528504
I use big quart jars because of the volume. I can't buy normal glasses that big

They're also good for preparing beverages that might have drastic temperature fluctuations

I have 2 cups and 1000 jars you do the math

>>16529427
I want my basement pantry to look like this in a year or two

>>16529427
What a comfy picture

>>16529427
if you please, gonna need some info on what's in those jars; this looks pretty good.
i've numbered them by uniqueness, if that's ok

>>16529427
>>16529508
EAT THE BABIES GOY!

>>16528504

Theyre almost a nesessity with how hard its to lids this year.

>>16528504
Does anyone here fucking use glasses like a normal person

>>16529769
Drink up, chief.

>>16529769
I only use pint glasses because they were in sale at the thrift store.

>>16529752
holy crap what a disaster
I didn't have to think about lids for literal years after finding cases of them 90% of clearance at a local grocery store I bought them all
started running out during the covid shortage of fucking course
barely had enough to get the tomatoes up

>>16529772
Shut up you sweaty Americunt

>>16529737
tanks!

>>16529787
well if that's what you really want *shoves tongue down your throat*

>>16529756
I know this is kinda millennial/boomer shit, but do you remember when nutella came in similar jars with limited motives on them? Like Asterix and some weird soccer things for the EM?

>>16528632
I know you type like a faggot, because you get a certain satisfaction out of sounding annoying and being a pain in people's ass, but knock it off, will ya?

>>16529752
>>16529781
What is a "resuable lid" as opposed to...?
Is there something else that's commonly used as lids for canning which aren't resuable? Plastic wrap or something?
They don't normally all have screw-on lids like any other jar?

>>16529832
if you're actually using them for canning the metal disc lid is only good for one seal
resuable lids have a rubber gasket and are good until the gasket wears out

>>16529791
Didn't know I was talking to a Xenomorph lol

great site, thanks

>>16529756
As long as it doesn't have a rifled rim, it's fine.

I drink water out of a glass instant coffee jar. There's just something refreshing about an ice cold glass container

It's an affectation, nothing more. Do they do their own canning? Then it's probably convenience. If they don't, they're a hipster poser.

>>16528504
I never bought glasses in my old place, drank exclusivly out of pickle and hot dog jars

>>16528504
>he doesnt measure the exact amount of water he drinks to the ML for optimal daily hydration

>>16529769
mason jars ARE made of glass
however, it would be unwise to build a house out of them... but look at you, throwing stones.
thats a mighty big log in your eye friend.

>>16530041

Come again?

It's a woman thing they like being "quirky" and "crafty" it's why they buy overpriced garbage off etsy

i have a bunch of these little mugs that mustard came in and when i was done with the mustard i saved them to be little cups they are the perfect portion size for my beverages and drinks

>>16530082

>>16530161
Ah, of course I'm not sure why I didn't immediately think of lil' sticks.

>>16528504
my friend has always had jars as cups even when we were kids. I assume it's his mother's doing.

>>16528504
They fit a lot of ice if you're making lemonade or something you like chilled, like an iced coffee or tea.

>>16528781
A friend of mine actually made a bunch of hand soaps in mason jars and gave them away as Christmas presents. The soap was so-so but the bottles can and have been refilled a few times.
Better than purchasing the disposal ones from a store each time you need to replenish your hand soap for the bathroom.

>>16530191
Kids break things, I'd rather you break a free jar than my $27 Bed Bath & Beyond fluted Awalawalaltian brandy snifter

>hipster

[i[le sigh[/i]

“Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).

You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.

>Hipster detected

Viral marketing campaign that found success in quirky white women desperate to have some semblance of a personality.

>>16528504
Probably because the drink is stored in the jar, so you can drink straight out of it like drinking out of a bottle rather than transferring it to a cup.

>>16528504
Mason jars have other uses and your glass cup set does not. No reason not to use them if you have them already.

Tea doesn't taste best from a teacup, they're cute but mugs do a much better job of insulating the tea and keeping it warm.

Similarly, champagne and sparkling wines taste better from tulips or small regular wine glasses than from flutes, despite flutes being more traditional

>>16529857

Why are you out of your containment hole in /a/?

>>16529769
>in the thread where OP questions the validity of drinking out of jars
mostly jar drinkers here m8

>>16529794
my mom had one from some world cup or olympics that some drunk neighbor dropped and broke at a backyard party and she fucking brought that incident up regularly over the next 25 years

I drink out of a jar because I regularly brew tea, let it cool, then seal it in jars and refrigerate so I can drink them over the next few days. If I had a bunch of glasses of iced tea in my fridge they'd foul or absorb flavors from the fridge. "Iced tea or iced coffee" in stores is way too sweet for me so I end up making it myself.

I drink from mason jars because they're larger than normal glasses

>>16528504
you don't seem to understand. there's no "appeal", we're just poor and don't have actual cups.

>>16531297
>i likes the mug tea cos it more hotter when i forgets to drink it
Yikes. Try a bone china teacup sometime. That thin ledge makes a huge difference.

because I get a free cup every time I finish a jar of pasta sauce

>>16530161
I was thinking more like this.
But sure, meat sticks is true I guess.

>>16530720

My mason jar holds more than my glassware so I don't have to get up every 30 minutes to get a drink of water.

>>16528504
Larping as rural/southern folk. Cultural appropriation by urban faggots

They're bigger than the glasses I own and easier to clean

>>16529211
I agree. Eat something that comes in an attractive jar? Free glass! I also break glassware with alarming frequency, so why not replace it on the cheap?
