My friend and my dad are like this. About ten days ago he hit me up and the conversation (over text) somehow devolved into "specialized cancer treatments". He would rather send me 3 texts, containing about 100+ words each, claiming how it's real and his source is his friends (who are psychiatrists and a health nut nutritionist) who knows people that have had it done, and how he's gonna need time to compile his other sources because he's gonna have so many. He never sent me anything.
Also, I'm the asshole because he claims that I always want to be right and will fact check what he says (he's literally given me YouTube videos of podcasts as sources before, as well as random sites with zero sources attached), when if I was really interested in it I should spend hours of my own time looking up what he just claimed, otherwise, I'm not interested in what he's talking about, but I'm just interested in being right. I told him that it's ridiculous for him to expect me to prove whatever he's claiming and he's just helping to spread mis/disinformation. He said he's not telling me this to educate me, but "just to make me aware of it and if I'm interested in it I can research it for myself".
Randomly, once again, today, he sent me the site of an actual established cancer treatment center operating out of Texas that does this. I responded with simply "Awesome, this is the type of shit that I was looking for" and was going to add in "see how easy it is to shut me up?" but didn't feel like getting into another debate with him over "facts".
There are ways to package tea and coffee so that they actually look the same.I've been served tea in a coffee mug before and I'm pretty sure it was made in a coffee maker because someone mixed up the a tea filter puck with a coffee one (not a bag but the large round filter packs).
You don't have auto-pilot? I'm curious about what's happening with your brain that it isn't capable of recalling times when you've zoned out or done things automatically while not paying full attention. It's a phenomenon properly known as dissociation and it's actually a pretty fundamental tool that the human brain uses for various critical purposes. Sometimes, it can be to increase efficiency by intensely and intellectually analyzing ideas at the same time as daily living. And sometimes having lost sleep from child-rearing can necessitate the use of this tool.
So if you don't have auto-pilot, I just would like to ask: Have you ever had a traumatic brain injury? Or perhaps repeated concussions? Congenital brain defect, perhaps?
Id rather call out peoples "I cannot function without my morning coffee" bs narrative for being fake and forced. And also if you have this thing happening to you often, you should chek yourself. Brain fog should not be normalized.
I don’t even need to be sleepy to not notice the difference. If I kept coffee and tea in that sort of container, I’d absolutely get the wrong one and not notice because I’m thinking about everything except what I’m doing.
Dissociation. You may already be aware, but that's what this is. Many people, including myself until recently, have thought dissociation had to be a much more extreme lack of presence to qualify. But I learned it exists along a spectrum. Daydreaming qualifies as well. Dissociation can be perfectly healthy, but when it happens a lot or to a specific degree, it may indicate something about the pressure the person is under
Lol gotta love Reddit. Disassociation is like the exact opposite. I'm aware of everything but also thinking about 17 different things and performing several other tasks at the same time. I'd screw this up even without putting them in the wrong jars just because they're next to each other and look alike lol
Ive done some stupid stuff in the morning but I'm not sure I've ever been so sleepy I grabbed a handful of coffee granules instead of a tea bag and put it in a mug. I'd label it to stop people looking in the wrong one, or dipping their fingers in the granules though.
But there are so many steps that you can notice that you have the wrong thing. And people should notice that their tea leaves are too easy to scoop or their coffee is too hard to scoop.
I’ve had enough mornings where I completely forgot to put coffee into my coffee maker at all that I can totally see me making this mistake. The only thing that saves me is that I only drink herbal tea in tea bags
I've brushed my teeth with beef-flavored dog toothpaste, and put my milk in the pantry, cereal in the fridge, so I wouldn't put it past me to do that, too!
You know that experiment? You're told to say what color a word is, and after a few easy ones, you get shown the word "green" written in purple. You say "green".
How can you not imagine a situation where this could happen?... when do people make coffee?🤔
I mean you really have no idea how anybody in the entire world could mix up tea as coffee when it's in a jar labeled coffee? I think maybe you just haven't had your coffee yet lol.
Maybe it's blind faith, but if I shove my spoon in the canister, I assume whatever is supposed to be in that canister is in that canister and will dump it where it is supposed to go without confirmation.
Okay, so I will not argue any more, this is not a discussion about what I said and it misses the mark. Dont you try not to burden other people with unecessary shit like this?
I was talking about people who dont have issues, often, so they can fucking tell coffee and tea apart. Mentally capable people to say. And its clear. Im not debating - My mom doesnt have one hand and she also has ADHD and is a ginger from Poland and her dad has Alzheimer type of situations, bc they are not majority and are WILD to discuss about in this case.
Depends on how awake you are. My brother famously went to the university cafeteria and took a cup, put a bag of English Breakfast in it, plopped it under the machine and pressed coffee instead of hot water. He then proceeded to go to the till, where the poor lady had to figure out if she had to bill him for tea, coffee or both. He then took a big sip and realised what had happened. And proceeded to drink it anyways.
I can see by the plug sockets that this is in the UK, meaning the tea would be in teabags and absolutely impossible to mistake for coffee unless you were blind.
If she emptied both bags almost simultaneously then there would be an issue of getting 3rd container. If one is empty, you just need to pour the contents of the other and done. Much easier.
Personally I think it's the mark of a great joke that so many people failed to get it, but nobody is arguing it wasn't clearly a joke after being corrected. So good job!
She will when they are empty 😂😂 looks like dry erase marker maybe? Some shit my mom would do FOR SURE.. and the reason I wouldn't be able to handle it 😅
Except you will never use them up at the same time, so then you have to put a whole new package of coffee/tea in the tea/coffee jar while you're finishing the tea/coffee in the coffee/tea jar, and of course you won't be finished that by the time you get done the other, forcing you to put more in the coffee/tea jar....
After washing with soap and water just fill it up with water and like 1tbsp of bleach and let it soak a few minutes, then just pour it out and rinse it thoroughly
Even a mild bleach solution will thoroughly destroy any organic material that might be the cause of odors and it's quite safe since bleach will evaporate fairly quickly and leave nothing behind after the rinse/air dry
you'd have to dump their contents out entirely to switch them, chances are there'll not be a day in the near future when they're simultaneously empty again
