I’m officially sick of this so-called AI. There’s nothing intelligent about it, it’s simply functionality modifying programs spewing recursive bullshit written by other AIs (or possibly by itself) that were all trained on stolen human work once upon a time, but are now just gibberish.

I didn’t hit one.

This is gross on every level.
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
It’s not weird at all. China invented tea (Camellia sinensis). The cultivation techniques, the drying and fermenting, and the brewing techniques for various types of black, white, green, and oolong tea. They named it, too. Both “tea” and “chai” are derived from the Chinese word for tea.
Tea wasn’t cultivated in India until the nineteenth century, when it was introduced by colonial British who literally stole tea plants and seeds from China in an act of corporate espionage. At that point in time, China had been cultivating tea for multiple millennia, and exporting it around the globe for several hundred years. India initially produced CTC (cut, tear, crush) tea on colonial plantations for export, only later (in the 1900s) selling tea to the domestic Indian market, when the practice of adding CTC black tea to masala chai took off in India.
What’s weird is that you’ve bought into some kind of alternate history where India invented tea.

Sure, if you think preparation and ingredients don’t matter. Enjoy a hot, steaming, cup of Saturn.

Say stupid things, people treat you like you’re stupid, stupidly cry about how freedom of speech should prevent people from treating you like the idiot you are.

I’m surprised nobody saw his forked lizard tongue when that happened!

Remember he is exceedingly wealthy, so he can buy Tesla stock through third parties to prop the price up without alarming investors. No, it’s not legal, but we all know the man doesn’t give a shit about the law.

This is the most upvotes I’ve seen on a Lemmy post so far… Granted, I’ve only been here a couple days, but still!

Womp womp.

That’s not tea, it’s chai.

Yes, sun tea is tea. I’d really like to see this meme done by someone who actually knows something about tea (and doesn’t think it involves boiling tea leaves)
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
It’s hot pit water.

I think you’re right!

No, the fruit must be squeezed for juice. Soy milk is bean juice, but coffee is not.
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
Oh shit. My earl grey (brewed in a ceramic (earthenware) mug) is not tea because it brewed in a mug, not a tea pot.
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
The meme is terrible and shows the creator has taste buds that probably can’t distinguish between gutter water and tea (especially after it’s been BOILED a few hours).
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
Thank you. I am horrified that I had to scroll past a discussion of “is pho tea”? to get here. The so-called purist has never even made a proper cup of tea! So obviously pho is NEVER tea, since stock is extensively boiled.
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
No, because you don’t really make tea by boiling tea leaves. Tea is an infusion made from pouring hot water over tea leaves. Not boiling tea leaves.
- Comment on Tea Time 6 months ago:
I’m sorry, but BOILING? You do not BOIL tea leaves unless you are an absolute heathen. You may pour just-off-the-stove, formerly boiling water over black tea leaves, making the tea about 210 degrees Fahrenheit. But you do NOT put allow water with tea leaves in it to BOIL unless you are seriously deranged.

Crazy to think they were even considering it. Hopefully this is the end of it.
