I have never been in a place in the South where they don't serve gays

[–] MildPudding@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

i hate when i go down south and go to restaurants and order iced tea and get a glass of concentrated sugar water

Well that explains the diabeetus.

[–] JollyG@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That is really just a map of poverty.

[–] minorsecond@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm going to look at how poverty is defined. You just gave me an idea for my grad school program.

[–] d0n7panic@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Apparently it's defined by your blood sugar 🤷‍♂️

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hawaii doesn't check out, but they do look very similar

[–] JollyG@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meh, its not a perfect correlation (and the time series for the poverty map and the diabetes map are different), but most chronic diseases tend correlate with poverty pretty well. You should look at a map of obesity. It follows the same form.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Nah, that's actually a my bad for not getting my point across. Looking back on my comment: I know I was trying to commend you, but I must've gave up on trying, because it fell completely flat (Not to just you, but to me too when I reread my reply). Dunno where my head was when I posted it, but I can see that I stopped trying at some point and just hit "send"

The reason I commented to your post at all was because my first reaction was, "holy shit, that's so specifically accurate and funny at the same time... how was this person seeing a fucking heat map, and able to respond with their own map, that is both wildly accurate and hilarious, given the context".

So I scoured the maps, because I wanted to commend you and also try and be as witty. Hawaii was one of the only (obvious) differences I could find (which makes sense when talking about diabetes and poverty)... but then idk what I did. Just literally gave up on being clever and posted a "spot the difference" comment

So yeah, doesn't much matter in the grand scheme of things, but I still wanted to let ya know just in case... I thought your comment of the map was surprisingly astute, and I was kinda flabbergasted that it seemed like you just had that on standby. Like you were just waiting for this moment your whole freaking life, and then pulled that very specifically accurate map out of your ass, as soon as it was relevant.

My comment fell flat on it's face, because it truly couldn't be topped. And I think I must've gotten distracted and gave up on my response, because the only thing I really wanted to convey was... fucking brava my friend. That was some S-tier shit you dropped; and so casually too. It wasn't necessarily news to me, but hot damn if it wasn't quick.

My original comment should've just been "you win" or some shit like that, but I failed on both ends to get that across

So very much so... holy hell friend bwahahahaha!!! Well fucking done (and pardon my language). But that was the very definition of "under-rated comment" to me. My applause to you

[–] remotelove@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, it's the gays or atheists. Or "colored" people. Or whoever they are told to hate at that moment. This happens more than you know in this day and age:

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Surprised you forgot "people who might be transgender (wE cAn AlWaYs TeLl)"

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This seems like a US thing I’m too European to understand

(aka. they bring us the ingredients, and we make our own tea at the restaurant table)

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah in the US they have this thing called sweet tea (some places have a choice between sweet and unsweetened tea).

To make sweet tea they just unload a tanker truck full of gum syrup into cold tea. That's what it tastes like to me.

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sweet tea is a drink prepared hot but consumed cold. The cold part is best done via refrigeration. Bringing hot water, tea, and sugar are not going to achieve the same results.

[–] FringeTheory999@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it’s best not done at all to be honest. Just drink a soda like a regular person.

[–] JonVonBasslake@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some people like the taste of tea over the taste of soda, even if both are equally sickeningly sweet.

[–] FringeTheory999@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Have you ever had southern sweet tea? The flavor is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. If you want to drink sugar water and brown coloring why not drink a coke?

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago

Use Splenda, fool!

[–] ngwoo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe the amount of sugar that cold water easily accepts is the correct amount to not taste like shit

[–] Elderos@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and if you saturate hot tea, won''t the sugar simply materialize back as the tea gets colder? Seems to me that nothing about this has to do with saturation.
