That’s how they knew she was autistic.
One look at her and you can guess she is neurodivergent. She ain’t Ana de Armas, Gal Gadot, or Margot Robbie.

And also I think she’s quite cute, so??
Emma Watson and Ryan Gosling are neurodivergent. What’s your point there?
What the fuck are you talking about
They? Who’s they? Like her whole family does that?
“They” can be used as a gender non-specific pronoun.
This is quite confusing at least for a non native like me… I’ve always been told ‘they’ is plural… It’s feels a bit like when megalomaniac people refer to themselves as we. Why not make a new pronoun if no other suitable singular exists?
Because English got simplified at various points in history. We’ve lost thee and thou and thy.
As awkward as singular they might seem, it’s so old that Shakespeare used it.
Time to improve and learn the real definition then.
Well, now you know better.
If it helps to relate it to something else, “you” also has plural grammar but can refer to a singular.
Although in this case it could be either singular or plural
I’m a native English speaker & I also read it and was like “Who else is engaging in this madness?!” If I’ve learned anything: It seems if we’re reading and it doesn’t make sense we’ll assume the “they” is of the person; not that the writer has omitted anyone.
Hey thanks, I thought there was something wrong with me with all the down voting… It just feels the language looses specificity… But for some people I guess I’m just an anti trans rights demon that needs to be down voted to the depths of hell 🤷♂️
Welp! It’s where you belong 😆
Could be worse, she could microwave tea instead of using a kettle…isn’t that right Americans
The chemist in me is so sad 😞 what’s wrong with the microwave for heating water? That’s it’s one job in life

Most veggies I cook are either sautéed or roasted.
Steamed microwave veggies are great! For when you just want a lazy veggie side and don’t wanna cook after work.
“What is my purpose?”
You make a mid cup of tea.
dejected appliance noises
Domestic microwave ovens rarely offer more than 1kW of power, while a regular British kettle is 3kW. It takes ages to boil a cuppa in the microwave and that’s unacceptable!
Hey, that’s not bad!!! Doesn’t work here in Canada but now I’m really curious about it in Europe/UK. Gotta love the extra volts 💪
Extra volts are great! We can also get three phases if needed, that’s how domestic EV chargers go up to 22kW or something :) Three phases in the UK get you 240V x 300A, but you are not allowed a single device to have more than 30A per phase I believe.
Ugh, I’m so jealous. My car is currently charging off of 110V at 12 amps 😭
I think they believe we’re heating the cup with the tea bag in it or smth, instead of just heating water. Idk. It’s lunacy.
Yeah, I agree, it’s something like that. Ive never really gotten a concrete answer from anyone for why they won’t use a microwave to heat water. The best I’ve gotten is “that’s not a what a microwave is for”.
The best I’ve gotten is “that’s not a what a microwave is for”.
Yeah, microwaves aren’t for making water hot, they’re for making food hot AND DON’T TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW THEY WORK MAGIC MAN!
The only thing you need to know is: don’t put metal in the science oven!
Why? My last one came with a metal rack.
If metal rack can go in science oven, metal must not be a big issue.
smooth good. pointy bad.
Yes exactly. They are only for heating up molecules that have a dipole, like hydrogen chloride, ozone, ammonia, and some other probably unimportant ones.
Well this comment sent me on a bit of a deep dive. My statistical thermodynamics prof told us that microwaves only affect waters dipole, but it seems like they affect all polar molecules, like you say. Maybe it’s a semantics/language thing because I can imagine we could pick the microwave size to match its dipole. It’s been too long. I’d need to crack open some scary textbooks again. Hmm
Ah… my physics course was very short, and tried to cover a bit of everything, because I did Computer Science. So I really don’t know the details. I just assumed it would apply to any polar molecule to some degree and looked up random ones for that joke.
I do know that Microwaves use a frequency around 2.4 GHz - 2.5 GHz, they can disturb Wifi if they leak. But I assume that is just because the unlicensed ISM band is there, and hasn’t got anything to do with water specifically.
It’s inefficient if you’re heating up multiple cups. A kettle of water takes about the same time as microwaving one cup. Americans often make one cup of tea, while Brits expect everyone within several blocks to pop in for a cuppa.
That makes sense, especially in a place with 240V
And don’t forget to put the tea bag in first.
I have no idea where we received this stigma and I am appalled. You can falsely accuse me of anything, ANYTHING, except microwaving tea. I will not let that stand.
::: spoiler I heat my water inside the oven like a true US citizen. :::
Air fryer tea
You fuckin wot, bruv?
Don’t pick on them. They only get 110v inches/pound power. They’ll write you an angry note on letter sized paper.
I’d be really mad at you right now, IF I COULD READ!
Okay, I’m all for roasting Americans on our standards and measurements, but what size paper do you use? I have no complaints about 8 1/2"x 11" paper, but I’m obviously used to it.
A4
There is a benefit to ISO standard paper sizes: Their dimensions correspond to the golden ratio, so if you cut a sheet of A4 paper in half, the two resulting sheets of A5 are the same aspect ratio. This is NOT the case with eightnahaffbylevun letter paper.
I’m from Canada, Vancouver specifically. I came over to the UK late 2020 to be with my now wife. Filled out my visa application mid-2020. The application had to be on A4. The “corporate partner” office that processes all the UK visa applications has to be sent printers and paper from the UK. As for myself I had to hire a small printing firm to print my application out on larger paper and cut it down to A4. The UKVI office, and the Canadian corporate partner who dealt with my application and biometrics…had the digital copy. I was still required to provide a hard copy on A4.
110v/240v isn’t really a huge issue…but I wish us Canadians would pull our finger out and go full metric, with the same ISO standard paper sizes as the rest of the rational world…
Lotta lactose intolerant people put fruit juice on cereal. I tried it on a long cross-country trip with my wife - tastes pretty good, and no worries about milk going bad.
Bullshit; I’m lactose intolerant and I would never do something so insane. Almond and Oatmilk exist—and even if it’s not available—I’ll still drink cow’s milk and deal with the consequences later.
Oh, shit, didn’t realize it was about you?! Oh, wait…
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I wasn’t allowed to share a relevant anecdote.
Theres a certain subset of people who think you need permission to post on a public forum. its weird.
But now you have diabetes.
Fruit juice should be refrigerated once opened and does go bad in several days
Well we’re still alive and well, what can I say.
She eats cereal like she’s actually living in the last of us. I wonder if she also eats cold, expired beans directly out of a can she opened with a hunting knife
I’ll pick a bowl of cornflakes, OJ, and diced fruit for breakfast whenever I can.
Cornflakes can be combined with a lot of things better than suck ass milk. You don’t believe me? My favorite summer snack? A bowl of cornflakes with fresh tomatoes, olive oil and spices. Fuck you all dairy supremacists.
whatever keeps you going through the day, mate.
id rather skip on the cereal in this case
This sounds interesting. I may try it. What spices do you use?
Normally the ones that you put in pizza sauce. For me they are oregano, basil, garlic, chili, pepper
Tangent: I swear by orange juice in coffee instead of creamer. It deals with the bitter coffee taste by just making it Very Taste. It doesn’t taste good, quite the opposite. (My fiancée accidentally tasted my coffee once and immediately puked.) But it certainly does taste
Ice pour over with fresh calamansi juice goes amazingly well together.
For Maximum Taste, add HP Brown Sauce.

Disgusting
straight to jail.
Yo my dude wtf
I went to a restaurant in a tropical beach town, and one of the cafes did espresso shots in a fruit juice that is a bit like a bitter orange and it was meh, I would try orange juice in my coffee at home though. I think the problem was there was more juice than coffee flavor and the bad ratio didn’t taste great.
Reminds me of when I tried putting 7Up in iced tea, expecting just fizzy iced tea.
It wasn’t. It was a completely weird flavor out of nowhere. Something terrible happened in that glass.
At least it is not crimes against the cows
This might be sardonically called atrocity, which is considerably better than the status quo, which is a literal atrocity.
I’m upset the image doesn’t show cornflakes but oats
I guess it would give the cornflakes flavor.
who cares? and why? Like this stupid thing pouring orange juice in your coffee.
Post this on Facebook. I’ve learned that everyone on there fucking hates Ramsey because she’s a little odd looking and was cast to play a teenage character (Ellie) who they really wanted to fuck, I guess.
Honestly, I think those guys were all in on the hate well before the TV show was even announced.
The sequel’s plot really triggered that part of the internet…
I first saw her as Lady Mormont in game of thrones and knew she was going places
Such a shame people are so bigotted. Ramsey is an absolute fantastic actor and I can’t imagine any other actor their age getting Ellie’s character so spot on.
That being said, the thought of orange juice in my cereal makes my teeth hurt.
Maybe they just don’t like cow squeezin’s. I’ve actually done this before for precisely that reason. Milkis a raw ingredient waiting to be turned into cheese, cream or yoghurt. It’s not supposed to be consumed as is. And soy milk tasted like weirdly astringent bidet water.
weirdly astringent bidet water.
Bidet water is just water til it hits your butt…then it’s toilet water. Why you drinkin out the terlit? Brawndo has electrolytes… it’s what plants crave!
One time when I was single, I poured myself a big bowl of rice crispies, only to find that my milk was sour. I was really annoyed - then I realized I had apple juice, so I poured that on instead. It was a little on the sweet side, but it actually tasted pretty good.
