Never got this little tradition of stamping academic/professional documents with coffee rings. I mean, yeah, it is edgy and clever to ruin your diploma with a coffee ring, but it isn’t really “smart”.

Yeah? Try getting coffee stains on your PDF document. Printing it out not allowed.
Pretty sure it says “fatuous nerdgasm” in Heptapod.
So does it automatically choose a typographically appropriate place to put the stain? I wouldn’t rate it a full-featured TeX plugin until it does. not having to set things like that manually is the whole point.
Came to comments looking for this.

Sad that is has been rattling around in my head for near 22 years.
I thought the point was to place the stain so it strategically covers the most embarrassing part of the document. You’d need a pretty good AI do do that automatically.
