This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Because there's no upsidedown in space. A sippy cup works by using gravity, you have to turn the cup upsidedown to get the liquid to go to the sippy spout so you can suck it out. In outer space the liquid would just be floating free inside the sippy cup and not near the spout for you to suck it out.
