Lol, that is funny. xD

Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to try out Yorkshire Tea (I’ve heard they’re amazing), they don’t ship internationally, so as I live in the USA, I don’t think that’s an option for me. :C

To be fair, although admittedly a nitpick, I will say I never said that the caffeine dehydrated you, just that the teas and tisanes do, the latter of which may or may not have caffeine.

That being said, I looked it up and yeah you’re right. The evidence does seem to demonstrate that the diuretic effect of the caffeine in teas not substantial enough to really affect hydration levels.

However, it does lead me to wonder why my body seems to dehydrate if I drink more 2 cups of tea in a day. Like, it doesn’t cause me to pee more (at least not more than an equivalent amount of straight water would cause me to pee); my body just dries out.

As an American who wasn’t ever raised on tea of any kind (and I don’t like coffee) but is starting to really learn to love teas and tasanes (I’m open to suggestions, by the way!), I have to ask: how the hell do you manage to drink 8–10 cups per day without dying of dehydration? If I drink more than 3 cups a day I start to really feel dried out!

I have not once in my entire life heard anyone say it like that. Where are you from? Maybe it’s a regional thing…

“sen-” like “cent” (like 25 cents), and “-tar” like “a tar pit”

......Okay, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t know how to respond to this.

My vacation. I work in retail, so my job is very stressful and anxiety-inducing.

My vacation technically started a couple hours ago when I clocked out, but it starts in earnest tomorrow when I wake up. :3

Jesus, 12+ hours a day… That is not healthy.

I hope he’s doing okay…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

…Oh, sorry.

Hell no. If anything, it’s gotten worse.

In their defense, however, it’s probably largely not their fault. In my admittedly one-person-sample-size experience, 90% of the searchable Web is either Reddit threads or articles, and with Reddit going officially with Google (meaning DDG doesn’t catch as many Reddit threads as they used to), that leaves most of the searchable Web being articles. Because SEO has to ruin everything.

So, it’s not really that DDG is shitty (mostly), but that all searches are shitty. Though, with the whole Google-and-Reddit thing, I find Google’s results are noticeably less shitty (though still shitty).

Because I live in America and there’s pretty much no public transportation.

Trust me, if I had a train, I’d fucking use that sucker. Travel into town for my weekly errands AND I don’t have to deal with people not using cruise control on a highway? SIGN ME THE FUCK. UP.
