Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now I'm curious how that would taste.
We are not talking about Tibetan butter tea salt levels here. In the article it is recommended to use just enough salt to tone down the bitterness by blocking the bitterness receptors on the tongue, not so much that the tea actually tastes salty.
Yeah 'make a better tea by making it taste less like a tea'. I have seen a lot of that from people who just don't like tea.
Though, for me that also include Brits, who spoil a good tea by adding milk ;-)
🤨 Breathe and count to ten. Stop grinding your teeth. No one needs to die. Breathe...
as far as I've heard the amount salt blocks bitterness is very individual, and doesnt work at all for some
I'll Chime in with my two cents that my experience with coffee and a pinch of salt really cuts the bitterness...
But I prefer bitter coffee so it's wasted on me.
Yeah, seems silly to discount something you've never tried just because it isn't what you're used to, but hey, that's the English way.
Uh no, hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
Oh bollocks. Any country with traditions are unlikely to respond well to beibg told they're doing it wrong. Tell Italians how to make pizza and see how they respond. Or try to tell the French anything
Well tea comes from China and Italian cuisine wouldn’t be jack-shit without the stuff they got from Meso-America.
David Bowie wrote a song about changes. It’s good. You should listen.
Woosh
Wow! Did hear that?!?! Something flew right past my head!!!
Yup
Shut up you tit.
I am a bit of a tit. And an arsehole.
Yeah, is it? I somehow don't feel like that's the case.
If there only was a way to find out.
oh well, back to chewing dry tea leaves
