Can we pin this comment? Not to the comment section, but to everybodies internet everywhere!!!

Everyone is going to want to see this.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago

MANY THANKS

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

I don’t think I would use it as a coaster, as your glass would easily fall off.

Still pretty cool though.

[–] SavinDWhales@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Optimus Primal scream

[–] BucketBong@p.hobo.social 13 points 6 hours ago

Alright, that's cool as fuck!

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 34 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know if I'd use it as a drink coaster, as it would hold moisture, but as a pot dolly it would make cooking and serving hilarious.

[–] UnrepentantAlgebra@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

It's a drink coaster, it's supposed to hold moisture

[–] bort@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

it's supposed to protect the surface of the table not only from moisture, but also scratches and stuff.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 37 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's supposed to hold moisture without wicking it down to the wooden surface underneath.

The goal is to keep water off the furniture that may be damaged by it, so it soaks up that water and holds it against the wood underneath thats not really ideal

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 7 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Could probably solve that by glueing something impermeable underneath, no?

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 23 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

What is your table but a coaster on legs?

It's coasters all the way down.

[–] Klear@piefed.world 3 points 1 hour ago

That's why we're just coasting along.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

And what is a table but a big turtle made of wood?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 3 hours ago

What are turtles except motile coasters?

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

Certainly! :)

Oh shit! A Google+ user! What a throwback

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

Gplus was so good initially, then they started messing with it and it became a shitty facebook

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

I forgot all about google plus. I used to not be able to comment on youtube, because I refused to get a google+.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Mod parent up.

[–] tunetardis@piefed.ca 13 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

It would be great with a little squeaker thing inside it!

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Only problem is it might not sit straight if the cup isn’t full

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Then be an optimist

[–] tunetardis@piefed.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

Oh yeah good point. So something more electronic maybe? Hmm…

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

Dog/Cat would eat it

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think I know how the effect is achieved. A small bent piece of metal or even plastic lifts the shell up when the drink is removed, and the head when the drink is placed.

Adding that part makes the rest much easier.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Plastic is not necessary because the nature of the crochet fabric is enough to achieve the effect. Fiber arts are cool that way.

Mushroommunk found a video that shows how it's constructed.

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Is it the same yarn they use in needle felting or no?
