    There is water vapor in the air.

    Tea leaves exist.

    Everything is tea.

        Possibly, have you ever told someone to try unplugging it and then plugging it back it in?

    Then the Boston Tea Party already turned the ocean into tea in 1700’s. So how long does it stay that way?

        Oh so no way they dump enough into the ocean. Be cool if we could turn a lake into a strong cup of tea. Question is how much sugar and honey would we need to make it tasty. And last but not least what type of tea?

        Listen, if I’m using years old mass market black tea, scalding it is hardly going to make a difference. It’s like saying your fucking up freeze dried coffee because your water is too hot.

            That’s basically what I do. I use a water boiler and put the boiling water into a cup or can with tea bag or more often tea strainer. Sorry if I was implying anything other than that

        Most of us for sure. The southern way of making tea is to boil water with the tea bags in it until you have a black concentrated bitter concoction. Next you mix it with four to five times the amount of water and add enough sugar to trigger a diabetic coma. Then you put it in the fridge and serve it over ice. I can’t have it anymore and stay alive. I’ve grown used to making my tea in the British shall I say worldwide way. After having tea this way for a over a decade I can’t stand the smell of sweet tea. I do make a large batch of unsweetened tea to drink over ice in the summer. I have to use four to five times as much tea with less water added. I do not over boil the water to make it palatable to me.

        The few times others have drank it they have commented on how its not bitter. I don’t think very many us realize good tea is not bitter.

          I lived in Texas for a few years and can confirm, southern-style sweet tea is just tea-flavored syrup.

    Nah, there is an upper limit on how quick the infusion would permeate the same as you can see it permeate in the cup.

      I’m curious what the upper limit is before the tea leaves have released all they were going to release. I routinely male a 500ml flask of tea with a single tea bag. Could I male a litre?

        It will reach an equilibrium concentration. Then no more can come out. If you then put it in fresh water, more would come out. Etc.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)

Web of Links
  • !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: “I use Arch btw”
