For real though look at Pietà up close. How tf did he do that. Bro was cooking.

Yeah sure, but which would you rather have on your coffee table: a 7000-pound marble sculpture or toast coasters that go into toast coaster toaster holsters?

Marianna clearly wins.

I think the Pietà on my coffee table would be more of a conversation starter.

I hope you have high ceilings.

Forget the ceiling, that better be a strong table

My coffee table is also above a basement, so I'll have to reinforce the joists, and probably the whole support of the house. Eh, I'll just make a scale copy out of Styrofoam on my CNC or something.

Bc it took him 2-3 years from start to finish.

Sad. The toaster coaster took 2-3 hours from start to finish.

No TV while being surrounded by the arts gets you cooking.

Can someone explain to me why you would put a coaster inside a toaster?

It's not a toaster, it's a toaster coaster holster.

That is a nice rhyme, I still don't see the benefit though

It's not beneficial. We're in the realm of aesthetic design, and no amount of reasoning will free you from these toaster coasters.

Good thing my empty wallet is. Never though being poor would be a sign of freedom

Most sets of coasters come with a small container or place for them to all go. This is just on theme.

It’s cute.

Technically there isn’t a benefit to Michelangelo’s sculpture either.

Michelangelo's sculpture can't even hold my drink. At least that's what security told me.

Because it looks like bread/toast

So this reserved is the origin of "if you're brave enough"? Basically, cause it looks like the real thing, imma stick my dick in it?

Sounds like you have a very weird dick and/or an unhealthy relationship with toast 😄

Setup for one of those elf on a shelf gags?

Man... go easy on Mariana? You're all a bunch of toaster coaster holster roasters

So username is It's Marianna?

She's talking about herself in third person?

Apparently a toaster coaster boaster poster. Roast her!

What kind of website would host a toaster coaster boaster poster? Most of us should ghost her, roast her and post here!

Are those ceramic coasters? Terrible

What's wrong with ceramic coasters? That's what we use.

stone/non-glazed ceramic works ok because it's porous and absorbs the condensation. These look like glazed ceramic which won't work well. In high humidity environments there's so much water the coaster will start to stick to the glass or it'll spill off onto the surface you are trying to protect, it's just not ideal.

Best coasters I've found are rubber with a felt/fabric insert. They never move or stick to the glass and the felt has enough surface area to evaporate the water.

I don't know what to tell you. Our glazed ceramic coasters work just fine.

It's environment dependent. I could use them in the winter when it's not very warm or humid.

But in the summer with the windows open a glass of ice water has a ton of condensation around it like the glass is leaking almost. Went through almost all types, plain plastic squares, then to cork, then to stone and finally the felt which actually work.

Maybe it's also dependent on what you put on them. Ours are almost exclusively used for mugs of tea.

Definitely, I'm assuming you drink that hot and hot drinks don't generate condensation. All you need is a heat barrier and ceramic is great for that no matter what kind of finish it has.

Mostly tea, but also wine sometimes. No condensation there either though since it's not chilled.

Michelangelo was only 15 when he beat the Shredder for the first time.

Bernini was only 12 when he wrote the guitar solo in Stairway to Heaven.
