Comment on Stop doing Computer Science
tias@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoThanks! In computer graphics it’s referred to as the “Utah teapot” because the 3D model was created at the University of Utah. But it was really a Melitta brand teapot. It is still manufactured by German company Friesland, which I bought it from. https://friesland-porzellan.de/utah-teekanne Unfortunately it appears they recently had a fire and the store is temporarily closed, but I think you can also get it off of Amazon.

I read once that the original model didn’t have a bottom surface? Idk but I suspect that’s why it’s referred to as useless in the meme.

I mean, it also didn’t physically exist, and was therefore tricky to use for your tea.
