This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The Capillary Cup is a zero-gravity cup designed by NASA astronaut Donald Pettit on the International Space Station. The product is an open drinking cup designed to be used in a microgravity environment, developed from Pettit’s desire to drink water without a bag and straw in outer space.

I'm sure the 60ish comments are all going to be about how it looks like a vulva, and there won't even be a single comment that doesn't reference the fact that it looks like a vulva

Edit: exactly two top-level comments in this thread don't directly reference the fact that it looks like a vulva

Somewhat ironic that you contribute to that metric with this very comment!

You think this was posted with the intent of having a discussion about zero g fluid physics?
