If your broken glass is single, my coffee mug is interested in having an open relationship

I think it's an art piece now

On that note

these two pieces together

Is it all one big piece, or is it three pieces working together 😄

Yes, I had to fight my own pedantry to post that phrasing! It's one piece, but calling it two pieces connected by a handle is the only way I could think of to describe it and actually be understood. I challenge you to come up with a title for this which is both easy to understand and topologically accurate.

If you consider a mug to consist of two parts, the handle and the cup, the cup has broken into pieces and the handle is holding two of them together. So I think "two pieces held together by the handle" is the most correct way to describe it.

Yes completely fair! I'm actually not sure about what would count as a separate "piece" with glassware and ceramics. There's probably a mereological argument for why its one or the other

Never heard that word before. Wikipedia: "Mereology is the philosophical study of part-whole relationships." Fascinating that there's a name for that!

Lol, it's not that thick. The floor is not okay, but it's been like that for years :P

I considered it. Should I cross-post?

I do strongly think that "mildly interesting" is the most accurate category for this
