The world leader is probably a 700 pound woman in Alabama drinking sweet tea. You can get type 2 just by being in a room with her.

THAT'S NOT TEA THAT'S SODA

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Not carbonated tho, just the equivalent sugar content

I do not know the beef behind this message but it sounds like there's a lot of really angry tea parties behind it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I think they were talking about actual tea

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Considering how much tea some people drink, the person who's actually #1 probably knows they're in the top 10, surely.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

The person's drinking more then anyone they have ever met for starters. That would raise some suspicion in that circle of people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How do we define it? The volume of liquid, or the weight of tea used for brewing?
I've seen to many people drinking what's closer to milky brackish water than a tea

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Volume x He-man colour scale.

I've never seen a purple teabag, but now I want to

Can confirm. I drank basically nothing but sweet tea from the ages of like 10 until I was in my mid twenties, only supplementing with mountain dew.

Yes, I am diabetic, and my teeth have suffered. I drink almost exclusively water now. But Jesus, if you grew up in the south in the 90s and 00s, I don't remember anyone but my mom ever drinking water, and even she drank almost exclusively coke.

joke on the idiocracy thing since the characters in the movie don't drink water and only know normal water as the thing in the toilet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ahhh, yeah, I've never seen that one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

At this point I would recommend against watching it. Good movie, but you'll damn near wish that was what we had to deal with, instead of what we currently have to deal with

Everybody is probably at the top of a leaderboard for some very niche thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Every year, I am the oldest person in my age for mere microseconds, and every year, I am the youngest person in my age for the microseconds immediately following it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

My microseconds are heavier than your microseconds, pretender!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I do my best to be mediocre is all respects, and not the most mediocre.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hmm, now I'm afraid to know what the most American individual would be. Sugar? Oil from deep fried foods? It's probably simpler to just go based on BMI.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Well,

A) logically someone has done the most X in Y so long as one person did X one time there. Like, not only would there also be someone in the US who drank the most tea, there's also someone in the UK who shit the most this year too, and the US would have their own most-shitter, and then the most-shitter in the entire world may be one of those two guys, or they may be the most-shitter from China or even Luxembourg. Same for "playing volleyball" or "stubbing your toe," ad nauseum.

B) In the US the real question isn't sugar but HFCS, we barely have real sugar here unfortunately due to a revenue generating scheme dating back to like the 50s or some shit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I have about 4 pints / 2ish litres each day, so I reckon I'm placed high on that list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You're gonna have a bad time with kidney stones, if you're not already.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That's simply not true. If it was, the whole of Northern Ireland would be struck down with kidney stones. Tea is not great for you if you have them, but it doesn't cause them in everyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

From my quick searching I've seen pretty mixed answers. The studies I found seemed to say that it didn't contribute to kidney stones, the extra water offset the extra oxalate and some even said the risk of kidney stones was lower. But that was for "moderate amounts".

Tea and coffee in moderation are not a problem. While tea and coffee do contain some oxalate, the extra fluid outweighs any possible disadvantage. In fact, some studies suggest that drinking moderate amounts of tea and coffee can actually lower the risk of kidney stones. In general, if you do drink caffeinated beverages, keep your daily amount of caffeine to no more than 400 milligrams. That's equal to four or five cups of regular coffee.

A meta-analysis based on 3 studies showed that the relationship between tea consumption and kidney stones was borderline nonlinear, with a 4% decrease in the risk of kidney stones for each 110 ml/day increase in tea consumption [15].

Interesting.

I bet that same person leaves a bunch of half cups around. I want categories. Most tea drank when every cup is drank to the last drop.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It says "has consumed more tea" not "has consumed more cups of tea'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

yeah. I know. im just betting the person who has like two dozen half cups a day is going to be more than the person who has 9 but drains it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Why would you pour yourself tea and then not drink it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I'm way too lazy to brew when I'm not going to drink it.

We don't need categories; just go by mL consumed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Best I can do is British ounces.

You may not know that you're at the TOP of the leaderboard, but you probably have a pretty good idea that you drink a lot of tea.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Same with the biggest poop, pretty cool to think about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Err, no. No, it isn't.

Now I'm thinking about the poor toilet bowl, the mess in the toilet. And how it's definitely gonna be left in the next toilet in a pub I have to visit 😥

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bring your poop knife, you'll be fine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Forget knives. In the UK, the police are so full of shit that they're asking people to hand-in Zombie blades and Machetes. Those poor constipated bastards.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I know it ain't me. i overindulge in coffee instead
