- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I have dyspraxia and drop everything. How breakable are they?
The glass is pretty thick on the ones I have, some came from aldi, some came from Walmart. I've yet to have one break, I'm sure if they were dropped on concrete or tile they would break or crack. I'm not sure
Yep it's a no for me then, I'll break them within a week
I have Pyrex ones that refuse to shatter when dropped on a tiled floor. I too am pretty clumsy in the kitchen.
Dropped a few on linoleum flooring without ever breaking. One out of three or so drops on tile flooring resulted in one shattering. Dropped them a few inches in the sink while washing and clumsily whacked them against the edge of the counter with no damage.
So pretty durable, but also fairly heavy since they are pretty thick.
They'll only last a few days in my presence....
