Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama

It's for sure pretentious but hardly any worse than the standard wankery at third-wave coffee shops. Cold brewing results in a different beverage than hot brewing, whether the result is consumed hot or cold in the end.
I think even the Trader Joe's cold brew concentrate bottle suggests using it to make a really low-acid hot cup.

I refuse to believe that there are distinctive “waves” in coffee consumption.

Anything that can be consumed that contains a psychoactive drug will have snob connoisoerous pretending to not be an addict while making it half their personality. If all drugs were legalized globally, you'd have regional over the delicate subtleties in crack cocaine and redditors who construct mechanical keyheadpen-tier wasteful multi-thousand dollar boofing setups. Weed hasn't been legal for even two decades yet and there's already a trillion videos comparing the slight differences in different strains. Whenever it gets legalized in France and Italy will be the start of next level dude weed lmao jackassery.

The first wave was gas station/diner swill, Folgers/Maxwell House blends usually roasted dark and produced in mass batches.
The second wave was a slight derivation from that—think Starbucks—where it was often just as shitty, but was marketed as more exclusive and tended toward medium roasts, and occasionally featured single-origin batches.
The third wave, since the '90s/'00s, features lots more single-origin beans and more neurodivergent home-brewing methods. Plus more emphasis on lighter roasts, and non-corporate local shops with gayer baristas.
sorry i meant to say "dude bussy lmao" please ignore the rest of this comment

I don't know jack shit about coffee but this reminds of time when McDonalds used to have daily deals. Monday the Big Xtra was $1.50, Tusdays two hamburgers was $1.50, Wednesday was Big Macs etc. On days where it was two cheeseburgers sometimes I would go there, but I just wanted hamburgers. It was cheaper to get the cheesburgers than hamburgers so I'd ask for two cheeseburgers with no cheese and the wagie would be like, "So a hamburger?"
I'd say, "No. Cheeseburgers are cheaper than the burgers but I don't want cheese so give me two cheeseburgers without the cheese."
Then the wagie would go, "Huh? You just want plain hamburgers then?"
Then I'd say, "NO YOU WEED SMOKING, INBRED C*NT. Why would I pay more for hambugers when I can order the cheeseburgers?!"
Then wagie would just be silent and I'd leave with two cheeseburgers.

No. The wagie never understood what I was trying to explain so I had to concede and settle for the cheeseburgers.

My wife is serious about espresso and I bought her a custom made la marzocco machine for her restaurant and she makes amazing stuff with it but if I want coffee it'll be from Dunkin' Donuts. I am incredibly neurodivergent about my teas, types of tea and temperature tho. I have a regime of tea types I consume at specific times throughout the day bc it good as shit

I just got into gongfu tea (look up jesses tea house on tiktok or youtube) and it's changed my thoughts on tea. Ive dropped like $200 on high end tea from china alongside a traditional tea set
Highly recommend

You have to be careful with traditional tea sets, lead contamination isn't as uncommon as it should be.

I honestly don't care. I drink it twice a week when I have time to really sit down and enjoy it so a little microdose of leaderino won't matter. Planning to go to anime homeland this year so I'll pick up a bone china set

Last time we were in Glorious Nippon my wife dragged us to a flea market so she could find an old cast iron tea pot. I think that and her stoneware Japanese tea pot are the ones she gets the most mileage out of.

I get all my loose teas from local tea shops. Only thing I import is ceremonial matcha for obvious reasons.
I love doing ceremonial style usucha bc of all the stuff it requires like the whisk, special spoon and chosen. It's kind of a pain in the butt and you use a lot of water but a perfect temp, perfect whisked usucha with perfectly spaced low foam is great. Love that umami of matcha, no milk or lattes or any of that shit, just the way the japs have done it forever 🍵

It's tasty and super convenient

Easy entry level way? Go buy a breville perfect tea maker. When you get up in the morning assuming you get up at 5-6 like most men do have a cup of white tea, (clean, high caffeine but not overpowering flavor for first thing in the morning), around 10 have some green tea for that real kick, black with lunch (lapsang souchong is my fav bc smoke flavor goes good with a turkey sandwich or fish), around 2pm have an oolong which is lower caffeine and has more of a milky flavor making it a good snack. I like to do a trad irish tea like barry's around 4 or so bc been doing that since I was a kid. If I'm af home I'll make a big deal of it for the missus and I with one of our good tea sets. Supper i skip tea bc that's time for alcohol. Before bed i have something herbal usually mint or rooibos bit sometimes i go grab a few pine needles from one of the white pines in the yard and make pine tea which has a nice citrus flavor. I always have pine needle tea before bed when I'm camping
Btw this is all loose leaf and measured except for the Barry's. I make my own tea bags to keep in my my rucksack for work. I used to portion out teas in a pill case type thing but it got too messy.

For 90% of anyone, absolutely. Mr coffee works fine. Moka pots are cool too if you do it the way the guineas intended instead of adding filters and preheating water.
Percolators are awful tho. There's literally no reason to use one anymore

the person that goes to coffee shops to buy special coffee is probably the same type to put actual fricking ice in their iced coffee
what the frick does hot or cold brew mean, drink your drug bean water.
even better is just buy a bottle of syrup and you dont even need to stir that shit hot or cold and its less shit tasting than the jarred stuff
