Because of the taste? While it’s not common to brew a drink with other beans, we eat them all the time, and it’s pretty obvious in doing so that they aren’t flavors that lend themselves to a beverage.

Coffee beans are actually the seed of a more traditional “fruit” (ie, sweet and acidic) rather than a legume like other beans (also technically seeds, but vegetal in flavor, with an entirely different taste and texture). You’re basically just going to get a weak broth from traditional beans.

Similarly, people have tried steeping every type of leaf, plant, and fruit out there in water, but it’s a pretty limited list that remains popularly used for tea, as it’s a pretty limited list (relative to the incredible diversity of plant life) that actually tastes good that way.

People use mushrooms, various roots (like chicory), other fruity seeds, and more to create coffee-like drinks, and/so with the number of people and cultures out there with their own tastes and traditions, it’s a relatively safe bet that if people aren’t drinking it anywhere in the world, it’s because they’ve tried it and it just doesn’t taste good.

What else starts with m?

Thank you Kanye, very funny.

Context/original memes video?

“Where’s the body!” “Where’s the steering wheel!” “Where’s the father!” One of his classics…

Images stitched together in order capture the amount of time that passed, yeah. They’re just not from the right years for that.

Yes, trust AI, that’s what Ryan Gosling looked like 14 years ago.

Literally every fable ends with a good lesson, how to pick! The salt merchant’s donkey sticks out as a memorable one because it’s complex–the donkey’s mistake is not trying to lighten its load, it is doing so excessively, trying to reduce its load to zero every day. The merchant’s revenge seems somewhat cruel, but isn’t actually forced upon the donkey until/unless, even though the sponges are very light on the last day, the donkey tries to make them even lighter by slipping into the water. It’s a classic “pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered” type message, but with some interesting nuance to it.

I thought the snail was garlic

The more deeply and unanimously red your local lawmakers consider their electorate, the more confident they will be pushing right and far right legislation and building MAGA cultishness. It won’t change who’s elected, but it can change how your local lawmakers think about what their community wants.

I’ve received in-patient care, overnight studies, emergency procedures, and much more in Spain without ever paying a dollar in copays or fees, and I’ve never waited more than 2 weeks for non-urgent care or an hour for urgent care.

My taxes are $600/month total in Madrid. Given that I have epilepsy, my insurance alone in the US was $490/month, AND I paid more in taxes ($1100/month).

So, yes, universal healthcare isn’t “free,” and it’s supported by taxes. And still, Americans are taxed more AND have to pay for insurance? And then you still have to pay copays? I don’t think “dur dur me taxes!” is actually the strong argument you think it is. And wait times are no longer (or in fact are shorter) in many countries with universal healthcare. But you know what’s longer? Life expectancies.

For those concerned and yet to click the link: he’s expected to be back on stage by Wednesday and has received scans, so it appears to be no major concern, though of course not quite minor either.

So annoying. Uranusiance.

Weird, I didn’t see that. fingers crossed it’s a bluff lol

Say you’re from California on the form and it’ll change what you have to enter. You don’t have to put in an address or verify CA residency.

Including the opt out link in the announcement article is a good guy move on the writer’s part. Thanks, Kate. You’re a pal.

I’m with ya! he’s like Jesus, just a good ol porn star-banging, liable for rape, unfaithful felon conman type of Jesus.

Definitely a shitpost and a whoosh
