It’s always fun to see how technology is integrated in other products, like housewares. In this case, we’re talking about thermal-sensitive coffee mugs. Who doesn’t like a nice, changing picture?
This mug isn’t entirely fun and games, though. UncommonGoods is selling a thermo-sensitive mug that depicts the effects of climate change on a world map.
The item description says, “When hot liquid is poured into it, much like the filling of our oceans, the map changes to reflect the vanishing Earth.”
So, there’s a bit of a depressing gift for the environmental scientist in your life.
