Bottoms cup stack is the shortest

Yeah, this is Hexbear

I see all the "liberal" cups were already taken so this won't work at all

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Oh, nobody's taken any cups from the hammer-sickle pile yet

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

My :cracker: ass grabbing the chibi-hammer-sickle and top-use-words cups like a true patriot! freedom-and-democracy

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit did you actually make that setup?

Yes. I, reclusive author Thomas Pynchon, constructed this cups arrangement.

You can tell people are because "verse" got real honest when push came to shove

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 days ago

That's unironically an amazing idea with the cups and bars across the west should adopt this method for patrons.

I have never once seen these at a party, that being said I also partied with crust punks and dirt bags, you drink from the bottle

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They are very very common at fratty college/university parties

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Why don't people use the cans or bottles as they are like normal people do in every other country?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Usually they're used when there's either a keg or some sort of shared mixed drink/punch.

Or for drinking games.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

In my experience the red cups were used for mixed drinks being served by amateur bartenders (or jungle juice), or for kegs, or for drinking games. The latter was by far the most common - beer pong, slap/stack cup, etc. Often, people would rinse and reuse them to cut on waste and/or cost.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you need a cup for a mixed drink you get a fucking coffee mug from the kitchen cause it's not made of glass. I am anti red cup gang as well.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

lmao soooo many mugs at british parties, that or stolen beer glasses from the local pub

I don't really get the purpose unless everyone is having mixed drinks. Alcohol comes in a container already.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

unless everyone is having mixed drinks.

it's this one, and the "mixed drinks" is just jungle juice

Imagine this but it's just the Malibu, vodka, and pineapple juice.

They’re for the kegs of beer and large containers of premixed drinks

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was more everyone brings a case of beer and drinks their case of beer kinda thing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It has a lot to do with the 21 drinking age. Since getting alcohol is difficult without a fake ID or someone to buy it for you, you're dependent on what's at the party. Can't bring your own case of beer because you're 19 without a fake.

The host will get 1 or 2 kegs and make some jungle juice in a big cooler, again because they're probably under 21 so it's easier to buy only 2 types of alcohol

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

hammer-sickle is a trap. We're all liberals.

Bottom but you won't find out till they come over.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"Versatile", which means someone is open to being the top or the bottom

How do I get invited to that party

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're already here. Welcome!

The party comes to you anti-cracker-aktion

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

My face walking around that party double fisting soviet-pout

~~Seems they solved the top supply shortage~~

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The bottom pile is lower so there still seems to be a surplus of bottoms.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I thought its number of cups = number of that kind of people

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That wouldn't make much sense. You put this at the table so that people can grab a cup and identify themselves with it. It works the same as the hanky code, you use it to signal something you're interested in such that others can go up to you (as opposed to having to ask everyone at the party if they're a top or bottom).

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago

I hadn't considered the overlap of "Verse" and "hammer-sickle"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was never at a party so this didnt occur to me

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

Me neither I just applied my process engineering knowledge to optimize this gay bar setup

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

No, there were a few more originally. Also I may have underestimated how many of the accounts here are operated by the same people.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

Us blue cuppers continue to be in short supply. Too many bottom-speak

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Being verse technically makes me both top and bottom, and I am an Irish communist, so I will take all five and make one very big super cup

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Since when do real communists post on Hexbear?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I am going to narrowly avoid cutting myself trying to make a multi-colored cup then just give up and go home early
