I've got a Klein Stein, and it's really cool, but I wish I had bought a regular bottle instead because it's not quite as interesting when you show it to people who have never seen one before. They just think its an all-glass insulated mug.

- gorkish 3y agoYou don't explain why it's cool. You just explain it, then you wait to see if the person you explained it to is cool or uncool.

(I don’t mention that most modern math also doesn’t have any practical use)

- fanatic2pope 3y agoAnd I judge their coolness by what kind of drinks they prefer to put in it. It's a Möbius thing.
