I made some cold brewed Sencha green tea in the fridge, which I brewed over the course of 48 hours.

I love, how the tea leaves swirl in the bottle, when agitated.

The tea has a strong sencha aroma, is slightly sweet and unami and has absolutely no adstringency or bitterness.

It`s an amazing summer time drink. Now all I need is some summer time weather...

Double rainbow 😃

Today I learned, that the secound, fainter rainbow has the colours in an inverse order compared to the bright one (I don`t know, if it`s visible on the foto).

Only slightly late now:

The last part of my #pepperinacan challenge 2024. The photo was taken back in november, when I harvested the (two) peppers from my pepper in a can.

I was actually surprised, that the plant grew so well in the can and didn’t need anything, apart from water.

The yield, of course, was not comparable, to that of a 10 liter planter, which usually gives me 50-100 chili peppers.

Quite a fun project though.

The way I read Delta’s comment, they see violent computer games not as a cause, but rather a symptom for how ingrained violence is in US culture.

As a european, I share that sentiment, since US levels of violence in computer games or movies usually result in a higher age rating, than in the US.

(While sexual themes usually have a smaller influence on age rating, since that’s usually less controversial for europeans)

@youronlyone @asean @pilipinas @philippines @pinoy In my worldview SEA countries are severly underrepresented online. As a european, the only connection to the region I have is food. I`d love to learn more.

@youronlyone That`s probably a more realistic depiction of a social network. Mastodon lacks the aggressive marketing mechanisms, other big social media platforms have, so users actually have to produce content, that is spread around organically and can`t rely on the platform to boost their posts.

@youronlyone @pilipinas @philippines If you take fruits or meat products to your home country, make sure to check import laws in your home country. Otherwise you may get a nasty surprise at customs.

This may lead to confiscation and even hefty fines by the customs office.

Usually you can check the import laws at the website of the customs department.
