I believe that’s actually a modern perception and textiles were originally a male dominated field.

Yeah, fuck all the female dominated histories of all the various textile cultures around the world, someone on the internet told me it was men who probably did it first, and women obviously just copied them! So if men want to get into textiles again now they have every right to push out any reminder of women ever being involved!

Just to be clear, the above paragraph is sarcasm. Exasperated but unsurprised, sarcasm.

The need to de-centre women from traditionally female technologies, crafts and occupations in order to appeal and cater to men’s interests, is kinda upsetting though.

Nor does spouting shit and doubling down with yet more shit when you’re corrected.

Anyway, why would I want to be friends with you? That shit you spouted wasn’t even funny bro.

You said something wrong and were corrected and instead of taking it graciously, you doubled down and ‘um akshually’ three times now by moving the goal posts to desperatly cling on to being ‘correct’

First time, apparently you know secret, but very common, but not so common it’s on wikipedia, information about how British ‘tea’ culture terms have been transposed.

Second time, apparently no, you weren’t even talking about the UK when you offered to explain british ‘tea’ culture to any foriengers here.

And now thirdly, oops it was all a joke! You didn’t mean to claim any authority on the subject, it was just owo silly boy humour and I’m a big ugly meanie for calling you out.

Lmao, this was hella embarrassing to watch you go through.

Next time you’re corrected, take it on the chin and don’t double down with your bullshit. It only makes you look bad.

It’s a rich poor thing just as much as a north south thing.

This however also directly correlates with the historical rich/poor divide of the country.

The south has historically been richer, and this is still seen today even with the wealth accumilation that major cities have developed.

He’s making things up and moved the goal posts of his claim several times when he got corrected.

Apparently, according to him, the terms ‘afternoon tea’ and ‘high tea’ have been informally switched in the UK, and apparently everyone knows this but it’s not in the wikipedia artical because…

Second goal post move, he’s apparently not talking about the British custom of tea here, but of tea in some other as yet un-named country.

Edit: Chat we’ve hit 3 goal post moves! I repeat, the third goal post has been moved. Our man isn’t playing on any team now and has gone rogue on the pitch as apparently now everything he’s said was all supposed to be just a flippant joke! Lmao.

Bruh. You literally posted this: https://slrpnk.net/post/40256413/23312028

I’ll copy it over too, just in case you also don’t remember how to click on links, chief.

Explanation if any of our foreign cousins want it.

Tea, short for tea time.

In the South you used to (and still do) have the following three meals a day:

Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

In the North, however…

Breakfast, dinner, tea.

Both might tie the end of the day off with supper too. Brunch is for the jobless middle class and wandered into the conversation with yuppies in the 80s.

There’s also a tea break, which is usually just a cup (or mug if you are a ruffian) of tea. Not to be confused with tea time, where you might reasonably expect to eat your dinner.

Then there’s high tea, which yes, features tea. Often a pot and almost never a mug. It frequently comes with anemic sandwiches and perhaps a scone.

I hope that clears things up.

So apparently all this here isn’t you explaining about the British custom of ‘tea’ in a top comment on a thread about ‘wacky things British people say’, but is actually you just explaining about the ‘tea’ custom of a totally unrelated and as yet un-named country?..

Seriously, chief, this one is on you. You goofed up and didn’t like being corrected, so you had this little tantrum trying to ‘no, you’ your way into still being right. Lmao. That’s pathetic.

The wiki article actually says that too.

Can you quote the bit? I’m not seeing it. The only place anything similar is mentioned refers to it happening outside of the uk.

Ok, go edit the wikipedia article then if you’re so sure of yourself.

Stop consuming it?

If you haven’t yet, you should read Octavia Butler’s Parable series, it’s a far more realistic take and she was very prophetic about certain things.

Lots of things should be front page news but aren’t. I think it’s to keep people placid, they tend to get very angry when you try to show them there’s nothing anyone can do now and we’re not going to survive the century.

90% of earths topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050

Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030

Global human population has surpassed Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity.

Global carbon emissions are still rising

The latest CFSv2 model runs now show the Nino 3.4 SST anomaly forecast peaking at 4.10°C in November.

The arctic sea ice extent is declining rapidly and we’re likely headed into a Blue Ocean Event later this year, and potentially a double BOE depending on how the El Nino and summer in the southern hemisphere go.

June 2026 came in as the second warmest on record since 1940 at 1.39°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, second only to 2024 at 1.50°C above the baseline

The world is likely to exceed a key global warming target soon but the earths alebedo with the declining sea ice and lack of cloud cover will impact these numbers massively and isn’t being predicted for, which means that 4.5c above the baseline by 2060 is now possible.

I’ve seen places here mix them up too, it’s not uncommon.

If you want to be a pedant or just find this sort of thing amusing, you could send the hotel restaurant a link to the wikipedia page.

I get that some people won’t get over the texture, but people like okra as well so…

Slimey cooked oat porridges too.

Tastes kinda like peanut butter though and it’s surprisingly good in sushi rolls where the texture can absorbed by the rice somewhat, especially when there’s some other veg involved too.

Then there’s high tea, which yes, features tea. Often a pot and almost never a mug. It frequently comes with anemic sandwiches and perhaps a scone.

Wrong way round.

High tea is/was the working class term for an evening meal as it was had at the table, and it would usually include cooked meat.

Afternoon tea is the posh one in the afternoon with the cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

Am I not allowed to have opinions?

Has the meaning of ‘creepy’ changed? I used it because blue eyes give me the creeps, they’re reptilian, cold and cruel looking.

Ugh blue eyes are so creepy. Iwill never understand the appeal.
