The glass is always full.

[Anonymous No.3631840]

It's not even a glass. It's an image of a glass, made of pixels.

[Anonymous No.3631848]

You start with an empty glass. It is filled to 1/2 capacity with a fluid. The glass is half-full, as it started off empty.

You start with a glass filled to capacity with fluid. Fluid is drained until the glass is at 1/2 capacity. The glass is half-empty as it started off full.

You observe a glass filled to 1/2 capacity with fluid. You do not know the original state of the glass. The glass is both half empty and half full until you discover its original state and collapse the wave function.

Dat glass has no inside cuz theres a hole on it. That glass is full of itself actually.

Whether or not the glass is too big, it is certainly also both half empty and half full.

Depends on what the person wants

half full: optimist
half empty: pessimist
too big: stoic

[Anonymous No.3631888]

the glass is over halfway full of liquid due to the way it concaves at the top with a wider base

There is no way to know, and if we know the exact volume we have changed the outcome.

[Anonymous No.3631902]

The glass half-filled with water is not the glass of water itself, it is actually a reflection of light waves going to your eyes.

The light waves can possibly deceive you, perhaps some invisible physical entity between you and the lightwaves may be manipulating the waves before it reaches your eyes.

Therefore you're staring at COMPLETE FUCKING LIES.

Even in moronic philosophy/troll threads, we completely miss the point of the troll and go our own direction.

No, it was designed with a safety factor of 2.

And you call yourself an engineer.

Would there be any distinct motion of the fluid that would indicate whether it was poured in or poured out (even it was extremely minute)?

>mfw /sci/ is the only board autistic enough to actually discuss this shit

[Anonymous No.3632808]

Saying something is empty is like saying something is slow. Those words are just the inverse of full and fast, respectively.
'Emptyness' is not a real measure and neither is 'slowness'.
The glass is half full.

The best post ever on /sci/ was the post revealing EK's facebook.

An actual autistic wouldn't really be "in" on this thread. It's mostly humorous social interaction with no real meaning or point aside from a social display of humor. Such things, generally, escape even the mildly autistic.

Aside from all that, scientists are cool and often pretty funny people. The media portrays us as humorless nerds to the point that some people on /sci/ strive to fulfill that stereotype. In reality, most actual scientists are socially competent, adventurous, and (gasp) good-looking people.

[Anonymous No.3633013]

You are all wrong.

The glass is full enough.

Enough for what, you ask? For whatever.

Because whatever it is I will need it for. That is the amount of water I got. So it will have to suffice. Ergo, the glass if full enough.

[Anonymous No.3633041]

>>3631786
I think the opposite could be said.

Starting out with an empty glass, pouring in a fluid removes the "emptiness," thus making it half-empty.

Starting out with a full glass, pouring out the fluid removes the "fullness," thus making it half-full
