So, does that make toast “basically burnt bread”?
- danesparza 6y agoI think you know the answer is "yes".
- xwdv 6y agoSteaks are just basically burnt meat.
- Teever 6y agoI know an acquaintance who refers to bread as raw toast.
- SilasX 6y agoAnd they're both pointless, fallacious (non-)insights. Argument from inflammatory reframing? It doesn't change the facts on the ground. If you like the taste and/or psychoactive effects of coffee, relative to the cost, drink it! The fact that you can call it burnt bean water shouldn't matter to that.
- dendrite9 6y agoI think it means toast is "basically burnt seed mush" I'd be curious about the coffee studies compared to how people consume coffee. So many people seem to drink theirs with a lot of cream and sugar.
- filoeleven 6y agoBurnt rotted seed mush, even! The yeast fermentation step is essentially a controlled spoilage. And the result remains delicious.
