@BonehouseWasps @satsuma @fesshole I expect it helps. I know instant coffee powder causes a fine foam to appear when microwaved in water. (We have many ways to make coffee in this house, but when my wife has leftover coffee in the flask from the day before, we will pour it into cups, add a dash of instant coffee powder, microwave then top up with boiling water. We're not coffee snobs, and this is a good way to avoid wasting the leftovers.)

@fesshole I'm not even British and this just upset me!

@fesshole@mastodon.social
Brit: yes.
Tea Drinker: no.
Number of f1cks given over this: zero.
If it amuses you: do it.
Seems like a waste of resources, but so are many forms of entertainment and we all need that at the moment.
Try again. -

@fesshole@mastodon.social lmao
frankly a lot of british tea culture seems very superficial and pretentious
people need to stop being snobs about heating up water for tea in the microwave, it's a perfectly fine way to get a single cup of tea
heating a mug of water in my microwave for 90 seconds brings it up to 180F/82C, a good temperature for most teas -

@fesshole I came here to witness the multitude of responses from “aghast” to snark. The #fediverse does not disappoint.

@fesshole Hey, I did that during my college days...Lucky the microwave didn't break, what with those metal staples...

@fesshole and sadly they are wrong, and should microwave their own tea

@fesshole that sounds decidedly gross. At that point, why not use dishwater?

@phl are you kidding? We love the stuff. Make whole harbours of it.

@fesshole In NZ I once met a guy at a hostel who showed me "how tea is acutally meant to be drunk". And he took a tea bag, dipped it into hot water 2 times and put it into waste.
I thought that's a lot of war and suffering for just two dips.

@humeanbeing I've been looking very carefully for any “communist atrocity” since Labour's general election win and I haven't seen one yet. What did I miss?
@krans @humeanbeing As far as I understand, the historically illiterate right uses that word to describe authoritarianism perpetrated by their political opponents.
If @humeanbeing really wants to interpret Starmer as a communist, I'd say he's closest to an accelerationist: attempting to create revolutionary conditions by worsening the conditions of the proletariat.
