1. Gather together: 2 teabags, 1 teapot, 1 kettle full of water, milk, sugar, and 1 teacup.
2. Plug the kettle into the electrical outlet and engage the switch that allows it to heat the water.
3. After water is boiled, add teabags and boiling water to the teapot. Steep for five minutes.
4. Sneer in abject judgement at coffee drinkers around you, knowing that your tastes are so much more refined, so much more elevated than theirs, that they should be honoured at your very presence. Wonder briefly how so many troglodytes could possibly exist in the world, and why God has cursed you to live amongst them.
5. Pour steeped tea into a teacup. Add milk and sugar to taste.

How to Make Tea
For your daily dose of meta, the web’s worst infographic cliches in an infographic. Related, everything explained through flowcharts.
periodic table of somethings make me so mad
because you can’t you just can’t replicate “The most elegant organizational chart ever devised”. The genius of the periodic table is that it’s design perfectly emulates the characteristics of the information it contains. It represents atomic number, electron configuration, physical properties, and a bunch of other wacky science stuff i don’t even know about while being organized by the same freaking principles. It works so. damn. well. For what it’s supposed to work at. And so. freaking. badly for every other goddamn thing. You’re not effectively representing your data by trying to cram it into another format, okay? You’re undermining yourself and even worse you’re undermining the sheer glory of what you’re mimicking. Mendeleev rolls in his grave every time you make another Periodic Table of Sandwiches. For christ’s sake.
