    I'm sorry for talking about coffee, but it wasn't my fault. ;-;

    In general, aka on average, tea has less caffeine than coffee. This states that most teas will have less caffeine than most coffees, while also not stating that teas that use excessive amounts of caffeine or coffees that use barely any do exist as neither of these statements are true. Answer this question: In general, how many fingers do humans have? Five. Yes there are people with six, and people with four. But in general, they have five. Most teas have less caffeine than most coffees. Thus the statement "Tea in general contains less caffeine than coffee" is true.

    I'm sorry I didn't mention your outlier brand of coffee that doesn't have as much caffeine. I'm sorry I didn't mention any outlier brand of tea that shovels in caffeine by the boatload. You happy now?

    Video games, by design. Including MMORPGs like FFXIV.
    And "too much" playing FFXIV is bad for your health.


    (Yes, I had to)

    True XD

    Yes, it was your fault: in response to a post using different kinds of coffee as an example of tastes varying, you decided to post that coffee was "bad for your health." That's entirely on you.

    If you are going to talk smack about coffee, at least educate enough that you don't think espresso is an "outlier brand" of coffee. That's just too ignorant -- and something that could only happen in the US, I'd bet, where people for decades made so-called "coffee" in percolators, for gods sake!

    I don't drink tea, but at least I know the difference between black, herbal, green, and Japanese ceremonial green tea (the last of which being the only kind I've ever liked.)

    You brought coffee up and I can go get the quote on your post in which you did.

    Doubling down on your ignorance, rather than doing an research? Typical.
    Espresso is neither an "outlier" form of coffee nor a "brand" of coffee:
    Espresso is the most common way of making coffee in southern Europe, especially in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal. It is also popular in Switzerland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, and in Australia. -- Wikipedia, "Espresso"

    Outlier doesn't mean rare. Look the word up. Please don't insult my ability to do research when you don't know what outlier means and are refusing to look it up when I told you that your use of the word was wrong.

    Besides, I didn't say it was rare, you assumed I was referring to Espresso. I wasn't.
