Reply to comment by 254LEX in All the drinking glasses in the world are technically always full and have never been anything less than full. by Few-Opportunity-5196

It’s it’s in an unpressurized environment it will be impossible to hold more, therefore even if it’s an unpressurized environment under that definition it would still be full.

If the air were colder, it would also be more dense and therefore more would fit in the glass. But this whole discussion is pointless. It's a semantic argument, and saying that things are always (or never) full makes the word 'full' meaningless. Neither argument aligns with how the word is used, therefore they are both wrong.

If the air were colder it’d be a differently pressurized environment, so within any specific environment it’d always have the potentiality to be full. So even with your semantics I think OP’s showerthought is accurate in that sense. But not in the sense of using vacuum suction to remove the air.
