Minor addition:
In Europe, to make drinks like beer you had to boil the mash, which unknown to them sterilized the water, which made beer generally safe to drink.
In east asia, as you mentioned tea was a common drink. But before that there were numerous herbal remedies that had to be boiled and served hot as well. People who drank the herbal remedies got better (mainly because hydration and clean drinking water are important factors for well being). Other than attributing the recovery to just the herbs, they also attributed it to the temperature.
So lacking tea or herbal drinks, the ancient chinese believed drinking hot water was somehow beneficial to the body. Add that to the fact that many who drank cold untreated water fell sick, you can easily see how the myth developed.
Another side note. Hot water is expensive (fuel wise) so drinking hot water was a sign your family was comparatively well to do and something a lot of villagers emulated in an attempt to show that the family was well off.
‘* Spear volley *’
Announcer: Red starts off the match with a savage low blow. Will the ref do anything about it?
Put in there just as a cheap way to get emotional reactions from the audience, it’s the story telling equivalent of having the dog in the story die.
Just like Jesus, He didn’t even really die. He went away for a few days and on the third day he rose again so that all may follow him and enjoy everlasting life.

Jesus H Christ. These are oddly specific and terrifying are these actual reasons people at your company got fired for?
You expected to be the main character, but you’ve just realized you’re just one of many NPCs in a cyberpunk reality, just trying yo get by, but getting screwed at every turn by corporations, governments and fate.
Liver, Fava Beans and Chianti
These were some of the first sites to be enshittified. The more you scroll that more ad revenue they got. So they hid the actual recipes and steps under a back story longer than the dune books that forced you to scroll and hit ad after ad.
This is correct. There’s absolutely a SVP/EVP or board member ready to take up an interim role while they work their way through the process of a new CEO.
Holy shit dude.
I’m a fan of your war stories. The amount of shit you’ve survived must put you on par with chuck norris or something.
Being told I should switch to linux
I think this is pretty genius
Sermon on the mount?
Tap for spoiler
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Aside from the sermon on the mount, I’m particularly fond of the parable of the sheep and the goats.
Its the single longest passage in the bible about who gets into heaven and who doesn’t. Surprisingly has nothing about accepting Jesus as your lord and savior.

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

You need to be a naughty slut that deserves a spanking for that to appear.
You get a choice of free maid/nurse/lab assistant outfit as well.
