I'll think about the toenail biting! It's just kinda satisfying nibbling the nail off cos it gives my leg a stretch and slobbers my toe like a wet heatsink.

Squeaky, happy bumhole. 👍

I think the crust/scum is the cinammon I put in some of my coffees (highly recommended btw!). Coffee on it's own probably wouldn't collect but with a small amount of cinammon it dries out round the top so you end up with a crust. It sounds awful but funnily enough I HATE the dribble lines you get on the outside of the cup. Where the coffee drys on the outside edge where your lip meets the cup. I scoot the cup round and clean the outside with a wet sleeve all the time to avoid it but I'll happily leave the crusty scum inside for a month!! 😂

I'll defo have to sort out the oven cos everytime I use it, it stinks the kitchen out and smells of multiple burnt foods! :/

Well you're clearly a heretic and when I become PM I'll round people like you up into camps and boil you in giant microwaves. Good day sir!

re-fit the kitchen

I think there's more chance of me eating the rich. But I will remember your recommendation for that day and when I find these rich people to eat I'll put their ovens through a cleaning cycle!

TIL some people consider bidet as gross

A lot of people have a very weird hang up about their arsehole. Seems to be a common problem that men need to be reminded to clean there's.

As a rampant homosexual I'm well aware of the need for a clean bumhole but I'm also aware some people think touching the bumhole is gay.

It feels GREAT though. So fresh and breezy, it's kinda life changing. Like breathing menthol for the first time, you can almost feel wind whistling through your colon. 🥲

What's that meant to mean? That I'm behaving autistic? What about my comment is autistic?

Also have you been watching me since that post?

People seem to think microwaves are some sort of spooky exotic magic technology,

I'm a software dev, engineer, scientist. I understand that ultimately controlling for all things kettle water and microwave water shouldn't be different. But you can't control for all those things. If I spent the next 5-6yrs perfecting microwave boiling (the same time it took me to perfect kettle boiling) then yes, I could get an equivalent tasting water for tea.

But heating to 100C (you didn't read my link - cos that's not a good temperature!!) isn't the only thing affecting taste!

Tea in a stainless steel kettle tastes different to a plastic one. When I buy a new kettle I have to faff with timings to regain the perfect tea taste because it's got less limescale and crap in the kettle.

Yeah I guess it's all "tooling" but you're being pedantic.

So yeah I guess you're right to an extent. But it's also right you can make whisky in a gallon drum with added wood flavour. You can make wine in a plastic jug and have it taste the same. But it's not optimal and if there's a way that's been done by a group for a long time then maybe take their advice? I'm 100% certain that your microwaved tea will taste worse than my kettle-boiled tea.

I didn't like tea until I hit 21yo and a friend made me a decent cup. It changed my view on tea completely and it took another 5-6 years of obsessively making different teas and techniques to realise how much tea is affected by everything.

I can't tell if your pedantry is stubborness to accept you're wrong or ignorance of the wider picture that tea isn't a simple formula.

Marmite peanut butter

I didn't know this was a thing. It sounds so wrong. Like dipping your bare feet into a bowl of baked beans.

Try beans & tuna on toast. Oh. My. God. It will make you question your sexuality, your entire existence.

The cool tartness of the tuna resting on top of the warm, almost-tasteless beans. The contrast in temperatures. It's just mouth-ecstasy. It's a lot of calories though! Tuna (200) + beans (400) + toast (250) ~= 850cals!

Boiling water is boiling water, who cares.

No it's not. Sorry but if you believe this you really don't understand tea making. There's 5 stages of water temperature that have different tastes and for different teas: https://www.goldenmoontea.com/blogs/tea/106687623-the-5-different-stages-of-boiling-water-and-how-the-chinese-use-them-for-tea

Tea has a delicate flavour. It's easy to mask it with an otherwise small change. The amount of oxygen in the water (don't use reboiled), the length of boil, the peak temperature, steeping time, water contents (flouride) and hardness (calcium) can all have a massive effect.

Tea isn't coffee. It isn't a strong enough flavour to hide fuck ups and poor technique (though popular black tea blends have tried!). My coffee cup has scum round the sides, I reuse spooons and water. It tastes the same every time.

But my TEA!? I use a clean cup every time, clean spoon, specifically boiled water, rinsed kettle, everything. If I allow the water to boil too long I have to lengthen the steeping time to compensate for the weaker taste. I have to use a dash more milk to make up for the increased bitterness and I have a quick taste to see if I need to add more sweetness. All that fucking around just because I let the water boil slightly longer!

Saying you can microwave water for tea is like telling a sommelier you can make Champaigne with Asda grapes in a gallon oil drum.

Then don't vote. My rough rule is:

• Interesting and agree - upvote
• Interesting but disagree - upvote
• Not interesting and disagree - ignore or comment WHY I disagree
• Insane offensive nonsense - ignore or comment WHY I find it offensive
• Blatant link spam - downvote

Makes for a more engaging platform and stops a place turning into an echo chamber.

P.S. I upvoted you because I enjoy having my views challenged though I disagree with you for the above reason. I don't want echo chambers.

Noted. I won't do it again.

Ban me for posting one meme? It's my first post.
