They're all wrong. The glass is full, but half with air and half with water

Kill yourself, all of those are obviously crazy people.

Superior rationalism representing. I choose the 4th option.

nigger that glass is filled halfway with 100% liquid.
>>
optimistic people are awful
>>
>>78231099
Wrong. The glass is a standard glass size but due to difference in height, weight and physiology we should all be consuming only an amount that is adequate for our bodies to consume.

butt hurt is more useful than despair.

i personally go like this:

>glass empty and filling it half way i say

>"the glass is half full"

>glass is full and half is emptied

>"the glass is half empty"

you also cannot have half of a hole yes "hole"

unless you have instructions to dig a whole 5 feet deep with a 5 foot diameter and only dig half of it.

Come on please. That's basically saying the same thing as the first two, but without attributing a moral outlook upon it.

Also, the liquid is 100% liquid; it just does not occupy 100% of the space.

>empty space

Do you even know what empty space is?
>>
The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
>>
>>78230732
no
if you're too much a pessimist you'll miss opportunity or convince yourself things are impossible
an optimist just keeps on trying things over and over and bumbling but doesn't get let down because "the next one" will work/be good/whatever
>>
Who gives a shit about the glass anyway.
>>
but you used a shot glass for your experiment, which means happy hour, which is always a positive.
>>
yes

expect the worst, hope for the best. you will never experience disappointment

That's not 50% liquid fucktard
>>
>>78233270
I agree with this statement
>>
>>78230732
I'd say that it's half full, but I'm pretty much the least optimistic person out there.

>>78233792

Just saying man, that glass ain't got no empty space.

Wrong. The glass is a standard size and anyone who can't down it's height won't survive the summer

Don't be mean, anon. You've used autism three times now and that's fair, but blind?

You're an asshole. Reported.

Look at the shape of the glass. That cannot be 50%

You say that because you only see the past and not the future. Your description of the glass is based upon the last action performed on the glass. If you fill it up half way, it is half full. If you empty it half way, it is half empty.

You should free your mind from the temporal prison you have constructed for your perception. You need to see objects as they will be. If the glass was just filled up half way, it still needs more liquid, so it is half empty. If you are emptying it and it needs half the water poured out, you should say that it is half full.
