I am from a country formerly colonised by the British, one famous for tea. I have found that the best way to annoy British people is to casually drop a teabag in a mug of cold water and stick it in the microwave. I don't even like tea. I do it just for the trolling entertainment.
@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.

@fesshole how else do you make tea?

@phl @fesshole more famous for how they make it: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/us-embassy-in-uk-steps-in-after-american-scientist-suggests-putting-salt-in-tea/3755587/

@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.

@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.)

I don’t know if you heard, Italy colonised quite a lot at one point…

@fesshole I really wonder whether it even tastes differently. But I'm a strongly opinionated coffee person anyways, so troll away!

@fesshole I’m developing hives just reading this

@fesshole Wow. I mean, fair play to you, but that’s brutal. Not sure Gandhi would approve.

@krans @humeanbeing presumably they mean Noijal Garage? He was only a Communist at school, according to three hundred witnesses. I think. I may have the story confused.

@fesshole As far as I know the British, you just described how most of them make tea.

@fesshole In the Muvver Country (I’m in part a descendant of New England colonists) they have all sorts of myths about how to make tea, such as that one degree of temperature difference for a single moment could possibly make a difference, or that whether you put tea into the milk or the milk into the tea matters in the least.
None of these things can possibly matter. I ignore them when making tea.
Meanwhile, in the Far East they might keep a pot of WARM water going. I do, too, for oolong.

@fesshole I think one should try pouring milk only, sticking the tea bag in and then putting it to the microwave
