    @fesshole @phl @dianshuo in the South they have a drink that is sugar with trace amounts of tea in, but I doubt somehow that was the reference

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

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

                  @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.

                              @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.)

                              @mossman @satsuma @fesshole huh. Interesting. Might try the microwave tea method myself, in that case. See who I can horrify at work.

                                    If the Italians had stolen lasagna from the dishwasher people.

                                    The British did not invent tea. Their snobbery is entirely unwarranted, especially when the person making tea is from an Asian country that has been making tea since before the British stole it.
