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)

Some seemed to have missed the real point; this is a cat torture device. I can just see my moggy lying there kicking at it for hours. 172.69.34.131 04:34, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Are there really dishwashers large enough to fit an average dining table? The link in the explanation refers to an advertising installation that specifically does not work as a dishwasher. It was designed to keep objects inside it dry. Bischoff (talk) 07:01, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
