CMP: tea or coffee?

caird coinheringaahing

@Lyxal Coffee, making me a heretic to my homeland :P

Adám

@Lyxal CMP?

user

What exactly do CMC, CMQ, and CMP stand for?

Cool

@Lyxal neither, milk :)

ngn

@Lyxal depends. cold weather - tea. hot weather - coffee.

@Lyxal I don't like caffeine or bitterness :(

Lyxal

@rak1507 bruh tea isn't bitter

rak1507

tea is just weird

Lyxal

No.

It's not

Adám

@Lyxal Either, as long as they are cold and so weak that there's no discernible difference.

rak1507

yeah it is

user

Jan 18, 2021 22:24

@Adám Thanks, that post is very helpful.

rak1507

I like the flavour of coffee a bit, but I hate the flavour of tea

What kind of tea are we talking about here?

Man, Dennis can no longer eleven things :(

@user English Breakfast at the moment

caird coinheringaahing

@Lyxal Iced coffee > hot coffee > hot tea > iced tea

Lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing respectable.

rak1507

I drank a flavoured iced tea once and I felt like my heart was going to explode. Never again

caird coinheringaahing

Can't get a good iced latte since I moved and I'm heartbroken :(

rak1507

how do people take caffeine willingly?!?!

Adám

Jan 18, 2021 22:26

@rak1507 In pill form.

Lyxal

@rak1507 it taste good

caird coinheringaahing

@rak1507 A mild addiction's a good start

rak1507

@Adám Even worse! All of the heart exploding, none of the tolerably ok tasting foodstuffs

user

@Lyxal If we're talking tea with milk (and not green tea or whatever), then definitely tea. In the summer, though, iced coffee is way better.

Lyxal

@user to heck with green tea

no tea needs milk

rak1507

Jan 18, 2021 22:27

I would happily have a tea with milk (minus the tea)

Lyxal

unless it's plain black tea

@rak1507 weak.

Adám

@rak1507 You probably took too much. You need to build your tolerance.

user

Black tea is disgusting.

Lyxal

@rak1507 pathetic

@user it's kinda alright if it isn't too strong

user

If it's not strong, there's no point in drinking it.

caird coinheringaahing

Jan 18, 2021 22:27

@user Agreed there. Tea must have milk

rak1507

Every time I post one of my tea related takes I get 1000 pings bullying me for my in-tea-lerance

user

Might as well just drink some water, it's cheaper and you won't have the blood of cows on your hands.

Lyxal

@user I mean black tea no milk is tolerable if it isn't too strong

user

@Lyxal Tolerable, yes. Enjoyable? Not so much.

Lyxal

but tea with milk needs strength otherwise there's no point

rak1507

Jan 18, 2021 22:28

@user milk >>> water

Lyxal

@user that's what I just said

Adám

@user I don't mind the blood, but milk… eww.

user

@rak1507 That a signed bit shift?

rak1507

lol

caird coinheringaahing

@user bites my steak dinner

rak1507

Jan 18, 2021 22:29

@user yes definitely

user

Disgusting omnivores.

rak1507

In the wild: if you drink milk, you get nutrition. If you drink water, you get waterborne brain eating parasites. Seems like pretty clear evidence that nature prefers milk over water

Lyxal

@rak1507 are you dissing water now?!

rak1507

Yeah I am

user

You realize milk could also be contaminated, right? Don't want to get mad-cow disease.

Lyxal

Jan 18, 2021 22:30

@rak1507 Aight you've taken it too far

rak1507

You don't get mad cow disease from drinking milk

Isn't that from when cows eat each other or something

Lyxal

@rak1507 I ain't standing for your baseless disregard for water

user

@rak1507 Okay, you don't get it from milk, but it's not like milk can't be dangerous.

rak1507

@Lyxal Water is highly overrated

@Lyxal gosh dang I forgot the comma

@rak1507 894k people disagree with you

@rak1507 Try living without it.

@Lyxal Fake news, that's what Big Water wants you to believe

user

And you're from Big Milk, are you?

rak1507

@user Well... it's too late now

user

CMP: Water or milk?

rak1507

Oh, well that study is about bone fractures? Due to ... reasons ... somehow I don't think that would really make much difference for me

@user Milk 100% hands down no contest

Lyxal

@user dihydrogen monoxide

user

Jan 18, 2021 22:35

@rak1507 You may not, but other might.

Lyxal

that's my preference

rak1507

@user Drinking too much water can make your cells explode, checkmate

Lyxal

@rak1507 you're 70% water.

I think that's checkmate

user

@rak1507 So can drinking too much milk.

Lyxal

@rak1507 By hating water you're hating yourself

user

Jan 18, 2021 22:36

Although by the time cytolysis happens, you're probably dead already of a burst bladder.

rak1507

@Lyxal I'm a large percent blood but I wouldn't drink blood

Lyxal

@rak1507 7% isn't large

user

@rak1507 Then why drink milk, which is gotten using methods that lead to so many cows' deaths?

It's like buying products from sweatshops.

rak1507

@Lyxal By hating milk, you're hating the way humans have fed their infants for millenia, implicitly condemning the survival of the human race

user

I do not support cow milk.

Lyxal

Jan 18, 2021 22:38

@rak1507 I don't hate milk I'm just saying you're wrong for hating water ;D

rak1507

@user If the cows didn't want to be farmed, they shouldn't have made their milk so delicious. I don't know what they were thinking to be honest, rookie error

user

Actually, milk is delicious so their young stay around. I don't think they were counting on humans drinking it too.

rak1507

Well they should have thought of that

(seriously though, factory farming is bad I agree)

user

Also, a lot of people are lactose intolerant. If humans were meant to drink milk, most of us would not be.

Lyxal

@rak1507 I'm tempted to mark that as "offensive"

@user exactly. You don't see anyone with water allergies

Adám

Jan 18, 2021 22:40

@rak1507 A large minority of the world's population suffer from milk tolerance.

"Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?" "Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO!"

Lyxal

Jan 18, 2021 22:43

> What is the link between Dihydrogen Monoxide and gun violence?

"The incidence of gun violence seems to be rising at an alarming rate. A recent stunning revelation is that in every single instance of violence involving guns, both in the U.S. and internationally, Dihydrogen Monoxide was involved. In fact, DHMO is often very available to those who would do harm to others. Meanwhile, apparently no efforts have been made to limit the availability of this potentially dangerous chemical compound."

rak1507

haha

Lyxal

> Can using DHMO improve my marriage?

> Married couples have found that regular ingestion of DHMO can improve their marriage-related activities, while couples that never ingest DHMO often find that their marriage suffers as well.

See. Water = good because it saves marriages

user

Even more dangerous than DHMO is hydrogen hydroxide, though.

rak1507

Everyone who has ever consumed DHMO has died.

user

Couples that never ingest DHMO never get divorces, though. Couples that do consume DHMO often get divorces.

Lyxal

Jan 18, 2021 22:45

Yeah well without DHMO there would be no code golf

user

@rak1507 So has everyone who hasn't. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Someone needs to make a challenge about making up silly names based off of chemical formulas.

rak1507

Prolonged submergence in DHMO at childbirth is fatal. However, if you submerge an infant in milk, they will be able to stay within the milk for the rest of their life!

@Lyxal yes

Lyxal

@Neil understandable. Have a nice day

Neil

@user yes

I use water to make both coffee and tea which I then drink with milk, so the conjunction is also true in both cases
