I had the idea for a sarcastic weather app once.
“It’s raining. Maybe the strangers won’t be able to tell you’re crying today.”
“It’s sunny and 72°. If only you had friends to enjoy it with.”
https://www.meetcarrot.com/weather/ is kinda famous for that feature.
Sounds like an awesome idea!
Dang it, now I feel like I have to do it. Flexible E-ink displays are also pretty cheap on aliexpress, and the rest is some glue and a microcontroller. I’ll see when I’m back from holidays.
I even have the name. "The Coffee Smug".

I think "hobby project" is overselling the effort there. Also I'd entirely forgotten I'd written that.
The punchline could be "get roasted after your coffee got roasted"? Cuz, yknow,coffee beans are roasted and... Okay, maybe not such a good pun after all

I honestly find this idea pretty amusing and I am half-tempted to do it. Embed some flexible e-ink display in the walls of a mug and have it show sarcastinc fortune cookies. It could even roast you when the coffee gets cold.
