  • I do. Almost always. And there are three main reasons for it.

    (A) Hassle free prep. Hot water and stirrer, bam!

    (B) No waste/by-products (e.g. filter, brewed coffee granules residue, blah blah) - so much less carbon footprint.

    © A cup of instant coffee has slightly less caffeine content than the same cup of freshly brewed coffee. Good for me, because I have been a caffeine-addict, and trying to cut down now.

    So I always try to go for Freeze-dried instant coffee ( especially Colombian, like Juan Valdez ), and not the Spray-dried shit.

    Edit : I thank max and the OP for enlightening me about the instant coffee manufacture process. It surely appear that Instant coffee has a lot more environmental impact than simple ground coffee because of more processes involved. I have always consumed instant coffee, but were totally ignorant on this part. Dumb of me.

    Thanks to the people directing me to the right way, and I will strike out my second point above.


  • “Stilted”?

    You sir, are one of those fucking amazing people who profusely apologize for not being a native English speaker and then blurt out 37 paragraphs of perfect English.

    You have nothing to be ashamed of - your English is better than a lot of them native speakers ! And always remember this :

    “You are speaking English because that is the only language you know; I am speaking English because that is the only language you know. We are not the same.”

    And as to your original question - if I ever ask them “what evidence did you see which proves X happens?”, I have almost always been hit with the reply, “Oh yeah? What proof do you have that says X does not happen???”. And then I tell them the anecdote of the Invisible Dragon by Carl Sagan. Look it up if this is new to you, and for a more formal treatment, check out Karl Popper’s theory of Falsifiability.

    I have personally converted at least one conspiracy theorist to being an Agnostic. So I know it works. Try them out, it’s fun.


    And I also am not a native English speaker to be honest :-)







  • I use Jerboa as well as my main lemmy client (Voyager being the stand by). I like the vintage feel of Jerboa, at the same time can’t deny the fact that Jerboa is the oldest and battle-tested client among all.

    The only thing Jerboa is missing is a complete search functionality (currently it just searches for communities).

    As soon as the capability to search for posts and communities (IIRC a bug was raised in Jan 2022 for this by dessalines himself) - Jerboa will arguably be the best lemmy app around.
