Forums → The Tavern → Half-Full or Half-Empty?

I say that when you get it and the liquid is at the halfway point, it is half-full.

If you recieved it full and you drank it to the halfway point, it becomes half-empty.

Its neither, it exactly 3.14159% less than half. Gosh you people are not good at math.

Obould> Yes maybe....

I'm Half-Full

The volume of the liquid in the glass is approximately 0.5*glassheight*radius*3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148^2

Also I have never heard anyone say that a glass is half-empty other than in the situation that this question is asked. So I don't see how the assumption that saying one or the other makes it more likely to be an optimist or a pessimist is justified other than the fact that when asked the specific question wether the glass is half-full or half-empty, people will more likely answer based on the nature of the question and the suggestive description that your answer entails in reference to this specific question, but when asked in normal situations the volume of a liquid inside a container in proportion to the maximum capacity of the container when it is at 50% capacity in a way that does not present two choices people would most likely choose to say that it is half-full because it is the most common thing to say.

I don't care about a glass, all I care is that it's at least half full and it doesn't taste weird.

I'd say the glass is half full, but right now it's only a quarter full.

I generally have an optimistic outlook on life, thought sometimes I just have those crappy days and I always see the bad side.

What about being half-optimistic and half-pessimistic?

That doesn't make sense, its not a yes or no question.

What about being half-optimistic and half-pessimistic?

i say the glass is half full-half empty and half empty-half full at the same time. in other words: its both.

i say its both.

Hmmmmmm,a half full glass water???!!!I ordered sprite and why is it half full *punches waiter in the face* "you bitch!"

i say its both.

It is half full not half empty because of gravity

I say its half a cup of water...

the glass is two times larger than it needs to be.

Its both Half Empty and Half Full. Though now it's completely empty now that I drank from it.
