Pythagoras’ Anti-Greed Cup (VIDEO)

Posted in VIDEO       29 Apr 2019       6808       3

This cup was invented by an ancient Ionian Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, to prevent slaves from drinking too much, as there was a shortage of drinkable water on the island of Samos, where they lived. You can only fill it up to a certain level, because once the liquid inside goes high enough, everything pours out.

"...to prevent slaves from drinking too much...You can only fill it up to a certain level, because once the liquid inside goes high enough, everything pours out."

Smaller cup would do the same job more easily.... not the mention that this is just wasting and its not a clever thing to do when there is "a shortage of drinkable water on the island".

Well the explanation given is misinformed and inherently stupid as salamoon said above. Read up, it's easy.
