This is also unironically a good way to get more comfortable spontaneously speaking a language you're learning. Don't know the word for refrigerator? Cold food box. Don't know how to say yawn? Tired sound. Etc. You'll be more or less understandable and people will probably tell you the word you need when they figure out what you mean.
Toki Pona is overdoing it, but it's also how Esperanto is doing it: fridujo = cold-container. Also German, now you're mentioning it: Kühlschrank = cold-cabinet.
Yep. I don't speak Spanish. Learned all my extremely limited Spanish in restaurant kitchens. When I walk my dogs, and one of the many Spanish speaking Mexicans that lives nearby looks nervous, I tell them, "Perro es bueno por hombre. Perro es no bueno por otra Perro." They understand what I mean even though I just butchered that sentence.
Yeah they are weird beans, more like a pod I guess. But I think the ones you see used for food have been dried. I’m actually not sure what a fresh one looks like
The way transistors and integrated circuits are made is called lithography. Stone scribing. If you describe it that way, electricity sounds like magic.
Gas is mostly derived from bacteria. Something like 10% is from multicellular organisms. Carbon based bacteria was around exponentially longer and made up more biomass
I can't comment on coffee. As for tea, it depends on the type and how you prepare it. To clarify, when I mention tea, I'm referring to tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant. This includes green, white, oolong, black, heicha, and puerh teas. Anything not from the Camellia sinensis plant is called tisane or herbal tea.
Green tea can be the most bitter, or the least bitter, depending if you make it well. You need to make sure its not boiling water, but water that's around 80c.
White tea is probably easier to make just make sure its not boiling water and it shouldn't be bitter either.
Then again if you're calling something like lemonade bitter, a thing that has so much sugar I don't really know if me telling you would even help.
I don't drink lemonade with much sugar, that would just make it sugar water.
Idk, I'm no expert on tea. But I've had various people offer various teas to me I've the years and unless it was drowned in sugar, it's never not tasted like bitter water to me.

Well if the language is German, there's probably an 80% chance that you get the right word this way
this is great advice.
This is good word making
I will keep this in my thinking blob.
The word for that is "noggin".
“Noodle” is also acceptable
Not cool
This is very good help do things words.
It is also the only way to speak in Toki Pona

Toki! Sina pilin seme?

Congratulations, you are now a Strange Planet writer
A vanilla mocha latte with soy milk is just a 4-bean soup
Drink it from a cup made of soy paper and you’re still just holding beans.
mocha is chocolate so made from cocoa beans
mocha>chocolate>cacao beans
Can’t believe you forgot Lima beans you moron.
Am I stupid or is the vanilla flavor extracted from the bark of the tree, not some beans? Do vanilla plants even have beans?
Nope, vanilla beans are a thing.
Maybe you’re thinking of cinnamon, that comes from the bark
Right, I was thinking of cinnamon. But when I picture vanilla extract, I see this small dry and black stick that doesn't even resemble a bean.

If regular milk it's a 3 bean soup with nipple juice
The ol' Deviled Creme Egg. Haven't had one of those since college.
I feel you're underselling our bag of water, organics and calcium sticks nature...
That's more like fish and amphibians. We do things internally.
A computer is just a really hot pile of sand.
Speak for yourself. I keep my pile of sand pretty chill.
A computer is a magic box with a poisonous green cracker inside.
I wouldn't want to step on either.
You have solved the entire universe for me
The way transistors and integrated circuits are made is called lithography. Stone scribing. If you describe it that way, electricity sounds like magic.
Magic circle transcribed in nano meter scale sounds even more magical than the magic itself
Electronics are magic boxes of poisonous green crackers with black rectangle bugs crawling on them.
And the black rectangle bugs stop working when the magic smoke gets out
World? I think you mean pressurised, life-sustaining, mud, water and rock ball.
wet, fuzzy magnet with a bald rock child
Mud is just water and rock combined on a microscopic scale.
Ah, the literal German translation.
we're all just various beans in a trenchcoat
Human Beans.

Butter is just shaken cow juice.
Gas is just dinosaur breath.

Get out of here with your science!
Here's what gas has to say about that:
Perhaps you mean flatus.
Funny
Lemmy is just word water.
If you ever played a survivor game you know. 2 stiks, 1 rope = a Houe

Water is just oxygen hydrogen!
Lemonade is not just lemon water, there is a requirement of shitloads of sugar in there.
If I took a tree and shoved it in a hole, then called it a door, you'd be like nah that's not a door. Yet you put leaves in water and it's tea.
This dude's argument is all wrong
You know.
Sometimes.
It's okay to have an unexpressed thought.
Imagine taking the time to argue a shit post
You are the highest ranking candidate for the cranial staple

Call me when tea, coffee or lemonade taste of something beyond bitter water
If your lemonade is bitter, you're making it wrong.
do you like, like anything?
Not flavored water

Aight, well the general public doesn't tend to know how to make decent tea, but that's fair enough .
Sujamma tastes like garbage and makes you stupid.
