Talk:2795: Glass-Topped Table

First! 172.71.167.52 19:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

How is "glass-topped" not a term found often online, yet I'm so used to calling it that in verbal conversation (Western Canadian, for reference). Searching for "glass-topped" (with quotes) shows this comic first in results (past ads) :) 162.158.146.105 19:09, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

It's not "instead of" -- the table has both a glass surface and a drinking glass. Barmar (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

…You could always hand-wash the cup. PxP (talk) 19:45, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Not sure about you, but when I hand-wash something, I'm doing it over sink. Getting the table to sink would be quite hard, although probably easier than fitting it into dishwasher. -- Hkmaly (talk) 22:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

It would also be difficult to pour out either the drink or the washwater.172.69.247.51 23:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Pressurised water... If you have anything hose-like (or it's within range of one of those extensible tap-attachments) then gush water into it and anything not actually stuck to the glass (any really gloopy liquid - like a partly dried old smoothie left there too long that may need a bit of mechanical wiping too) gets diluted and pressured out. (...Onto the floor, unless you are prepared for that.)

A quick rub with a dishcloth can wick up most of what doesn't jump straight back out (you need a quick shut-off to the water supply, ideally, so it doesn't dribble-fill so much, anyway) and if it was hot enough then the last bits of dampness 'self dry'. 172.70.162.159 01:18, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Some of the unpopularity probably comes from it being halfway off of the table, giving you the ever-present feeling that it might fall. TheLittlePeace (talk) 19:50, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
