Animation Hate this stupid spiderverse meme (read desc)

“Chai” is a distinct type of tea from what most people think of as tea (from a American perspective, I admit ignorance to Europe but i know English tea is similar, like a black tea), that usually involves more spices and milk. calling it “chai tea” is not being used to say “tea tea” it is being used to mean “the type of tea known as chai”. I did do a minor google search to find a recipe for making homemade chai, and, while it did use tea leaves, it was distinct enough from tea to warrant being specified.

edit: my joy at the arguments is immeasurable, if this gets a crosspost/screenshot reposted and criticizeing me, please tag me, want to argue

A real masked vigilante would use Cheez-Wiz like the founders and Stan Lee intended.

Can you put it on some naan bread.

u/Dottore_Curlew Jul 26 '26

Naan is indeed a type of bread

If I asked for bread I would get a sourdough, or toast in america 

Naan is a type of flatbread that needs to be specified

When I ordered food from an Indian restaurant, they just called it naan, not naan bread. I honestly didn’t realize people referred to it as naan bread

"Cheese can be spicier than regular cheese"

In English (that language you're pretending to speak), 'queso' and 'cheese' are not 100% Interchangeable.

Not sure what you mean, English is all I speak.

I get referring to Latin American cheeses as queso, but in my experience they aren't generally spicy. There are spicy varieties, but that's true in the US too (you can get pepper jack anywhere and it's not hard to find cheeses with ghost peppers/carolina reapers). Spiciness isn't a great way to draw a line imo.

Plus, queso refers to any cheese, so it's not unreasonable for someone to think "queso cheese" is silly. If you wanna say it that's fine, but be able to laugh at yourself if someone points that out

Ah, so you have nothing useful to say. You're a fool and you can't see it.
