Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

The glass is at 50% capacity.
It's full. 50% water, 50% air.
I'm a pissimist. The glass is full, of piss.

I'm still waiting for my cheeseburger.
A man's gotta eat
I would fall between the third and fourth types. I would definitely spend far too much time trying to decide wether the glass was half empty or half full before realizing an hour and a half later that I had, in fact, ordered a cheeseburger which had never arrived and now the kitchen is closed.
Don't forget the pedant. No matter which one you choose, they will "correct" your choice for you.
There's also: the glass is half empty and the other half sucks!
What about the more modern, "you guys have a glass?" Maybe that's cheeseburger person.
I definitely ordered the cheeseburger but got half a glass of water instead.
Fifth type: "well it depends, full of what?"
Sixth type: just drinks the water
"ah fuck i left another glass of water sitting out again"
