Good answer Ham Hock. The glass is there to be drunk out of.

The engineer would say, “It’s obvious this is the incorrect container for this project.”

The glass doesn’t have Dr. Pepper in it.

Sorry, but it is half full and half empty and that has nothing to do with Schrödinger’s cat. Especially when someone is looking at it. If it was in a box out of sight and had a 50% chance of being broken or unbroken then the thought experiment would apply.

The glass is in a state of optimal versatility. You cannot put anything in a full vessel, and you cannot take anything from an empty vessel. If it is half full and half empty, you can do either.

Bartender: “Sigh, another glass to empty and clean…”

“Who’s been drinking my vodka?”…

Whether a glass is half full or half empty is easy to figure out. If you putting something into the glass, then it is half full. If you are removing something from a glass, then it’s half empty. Easy peasy.

You have a glass!? I don’t even have a glass!

Why do I have only one glass?

Good rorschach test!
