You don't understand how people can have 10 cups of tea a WEEK? Honestly I thought it would be more than that, that's not even 2 a day, which is my baseline.

[@ruth649]

Definitely brought down by people like me who don't drink tea at all! Based on people I know, I reckon tea drinkers average 3-5 cups a day.

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

​@@ruth649We drink way more than that in Ireland. Everyone I know who drinks tea, drinks at least 5 - 10 per day, with some drinking much more. I don't know many people who don't drink tea.

[@ruth649]

@ShizuruNakatsu Plenty of people do drink more! But I also know people who drink both coffee and tea, and people who'll only have 1-2 cups a day, so I'm guessing they'll bring the average down from the hardcore 8+ cups tea drinkers.

[@djrizla420]

Evan: “Emma drinks 10 cups of tea a week” Me: “You mean day, surely?”

[@elaineb7065]

I'd say double it. 21 cups a week is 3 a day, enough to get her one at breakfast (her cereal of choice), one at break (she'd have her fave crisps here), & one at lunch (most likely a sandwich or two). She'd stick to water in the afternoon, & at dinner, Sundays & a couple of other times she'd have some wine, Fridays (her junk food day) she'd have a couple of soft drinks, & the rest of the time she'd just have water. Late at night while relaxing on a weeknight with her shows & socials, she'd drink something like hot chocolate or malted milk, with a biscuit or two.

Not even cups, everyone I know uses mugs which hold about 25% more than a cup. When I visit my stepdad we drink at least 2 mugs over the course of 4 hours or so, might hit 3 if I stay longer. My grandparents ONLY drank tea, although usually really weak. Never felt caffeine impacts my sleep (though to be fair, I have odd sleep patterns no matter what I do), in fact I sleep better as it flushes the kidneys so I'm less likely to wake up with kidney pains. Bottom line, I'm more likely to sleep better if I hydrate well through the day no matter what I drink (except alcohol of course).

The fact that Emma thinks that everything including socks and underwear need ironed is the main reason why Emma and not michael who is doing the ironing. When I lived alone, the only thing I bought an iron for was "business smart" shirts. Even then I discovered the trick to hang them on a hanger while wet and they dry crease free, so the iron only came out for super special meetings.

[@JiminyClarkson]

Which is also why women spend more time doing housework than men. Women seem to find housework that needs doing out of nowhere. Same with my laundry. When I lived alone, used to only do it once a fortnight. Once I met my wife, she's finding laudry to do 2 or 3 times a week 😵

@@JiminyClarkson As a man who lives alone, I find that laundry generally needs doing Roughly three times in two weeks... It could be pushed out to once a week if I had a larger washing machine (and washing line). If I was doing it less often I'd be doing two loads at a time. Still, I know some of that is down to some personal habits regarding how long I wear specific things between washing them which Could be done differently.... but part of it is simply down to the existence of bed sheets. Basically, there's a sheet that needs washing every week (not two, mind you), and it takes up enough space in the washing machine that a whole week's worth of other stuff won't fit in with it. I also know of quite a number of women who just... don't do housework unless someone else is all but forcing them to, even when they live alone and Really Really should. It's not entirely a matter of what sex one is. Generally speaking, there are a number of household chores that it's better to get on top of quckly and often, because it takes less time and causes less stress (not to mention any other relevant benefits)... and then there's the ones that only need to be done once a week or so... and the ones that only need to be done infrequently when the reach the point where not doing them would be a problem... If you treat the first category as if it was the last, you're going to end up having problems eventually, but the same is true (if usually less catastrophically) in reverse, too.

Think about it this way, 100 people earn £10ph but 1 person earns £10,000ph The average a person earns in this system would be around £108ph but only 1 person was earning above £10ph.

“The U.K.” doesn’t actually have a state religion. England and Scotland have different established churches, the monarch is head only of the C of E and when he crosses the border becomes merely a member of the Church of Scotland and has no position in it or authority over it. You might remember that was demonstrated at Charles’ investiture when he had to affirm the monarch’s oath not to interfere with the exercise of religion in Scotland? That oath was one of the conditions of the Union, and came about because both of Charles’ 17th century namesakes had tried to force the Scots to recognise their authority over religion - resulting in near civil war and (under Charles II) a major campaign of repression that killed thousands of civilians.

If we confine ourselves to heterosexual relationships, and assume that the ration of male to female is very close to equal, then it is mathematically impossible for the average (mean) male to have 5 female partners and for females to have an average of 3 partners. Of course, the mode or median can yield different results, but even so it's a big disparity. Maybe if that was the median, then a relatively small number of women working in the sex industry could cause a very large discrepancy, but I have my doubts (after all, a lot of men are customers in that very same industry). My suspicion is that the large discrepancy is more about differences in the way men and women respond to the survey and that the answers are not necessarily accurate.

Incorrect. You technically own the home, the bank doesn't have their name on the deeds do they? But you do also own the debt of the loan the bank has secured against the property.

[@DeadDancers]

@@ellormane I don’t know what country you live in, but in mine - their name is absolutely on the title. Why wouldn’t it be? Who loans you hundreds of thousands of dollars then expects you to pay it back by your word alone?

I’d love to know how much of the milk we buy goes into tea. With my family it’s literally 100%, we don’t use milk for anything else

[@CiaraOSullivan1990]

I drink more than 10 cups of tea every day.

Thank you!

Milk, yoghurt, apples, cucumbers and oats for porridge (what every week groceries must include for our family in Finland).

[@klimtkahlo]

How do you eat the cucumbers? No tomatoes with your cucumbers?

[@sikrijo]

@@klimtkahlo I toss them in a salad, I cut them as sticks with what other vegetables/fruit we have for my young kids to snack on or have as sides or slice them thinly to put on a slice of bread with cheese/ham/pepperoni/wht every we might have. Best Finnish snack by far is thin slice of toasted rye bread with (reindeer) salami and cucumbers.

4:40 - BMI is a metric tuned for men and shouldn't be used to determine obesity in women.

[@PansyPops]

1) Yes, it was designed mainly considering men. 2) I wouldn’t even say it should be used to judge obesity. There are too many factors for it to be considered accurate - genetics, muscle, diet, etc. As a very rough estimate then sure, but you can have a fast metabolism and be a healthy weight while living an unhealthy lifestyle (lots of sugar, fatty foods, little-no exercise). Equally you may have a slow metabolism and be slightly overweight despite living fairly healthily (decent diet, 10k steps daily, etc). _Plus it’s from the 1900s and wasn’t even created by medical experts. That’s another kettle of fish._

[@peterkroger7112]

Thanks! Now I know Emma better than most of my own friends.😅

BMI is nonsense

[@Thurgosh_OG]

It's merely a guide and can be misused by medical people.

[@DrClocktopus1]

Here it is actually for once used exactly as it is meant to be... Statistically. It is too imprecise for individualised medical advice or to draw too strong conclusions from, but is sound enough for comparing rates of obesity or malnourishment across populations.

[@CiCodiCadno]

Eh, less nonsense, more misunderstood and misappropriated. It's the same as IQ. Both work from a purely statistical standpoint because humans like neat little boxes. Neither work from a practical application standpoint because humans like neat little boxes, which humans, by nature of being literally of nature, are too messy to stay inside.

Arnold Schwarzenegger at the peak of his physical fitness was classed as obese based on his BMI.

[@oakstrong1]

Milk (unless you said eggs) is the only thing in her grocery list that's the same as mine. When it comes to tea, I drink at least 2 pots of Yorkshire tea (2-3 teabags) per weekend on average and weekdays 2 cups - at work I drink 3-4 cups of coffee. My body is so accustomed to caffeine I don't feel any noticeable difference, and I sleep better when I drink at least one mug of tea right before bed.

[@AmyCrawford360]

yes this is a SOLID video! love this

[@nster3]

Super interesting topic! As a Canadian who's lived a few years in the US and France, I love learning about what a typical person's life in similar countries looks like and how they compare. It's amazing how much knowing just a few basics of different cultures changes your views and the ability to relate to others! Some things are fascinating like some of the similar dynamics NZ and Canada have because of having much larger geopolitical giants as essentially their only neighbour, in my case seeing the unique blend of cultures Canada and in particular Québec has from the US, UK and France, the stereotypes vs realities that different regions will have of the western super-powers like the US, UK, France and Germany etc.

[@blotski]

NB I noticed at about 08:45 you said the figure 5,500 as 'fifty five hundred'. That is a very American habit. Most Brits would say it as 'five thousand, five hundred'. I'm not judging, just commenting.

Well that was fun! My daughter was born in April 1983 and we live in Leicestershire! You statistics don't cover how often "Emma" visits her mum, so I can't hit her with that! Yes she works full time, yes she looks after the house, kids and garden while hubby plays video games and goes to the pub. He's very good at cooking, though. What about "Emma's" hobbies? My girl is darts team captain at the pub. I play in the team, too.

I was about to say she's definitely not a Londoner, working in boots and owning a house on that salary. Her monthly take home wouldn't even cover my rent here.

How are you buying flour everytime you go the supermarket?

[@rabbitguts2518]

@@randomness051 If you like baking or cooking things that include pasty etc I can see that. (also flour is used for a lot of non-food stuff like flour/or baking soda/ + superglue equals an incredibly strong bonding agent) Still buying some EVERYTIME you go sounds more like someone is just misplacing some 😅

[@janebaker966]

I know loads.

[@blotski]

It takes quite a bit to get through a bag of pasta, a tub of butter and a bag of flour. So I take it you don't go to the supermarket very often. In fact, even in our fortnightly 'big shop' we don't get pasta and flour every time. I go at least a couple of times a week or maybe more often to the mini supermarket around the corner to get things that go off quickly like milk, bread, ham etc. Something not quite right about your list. I don't believe you are the one in charge of shopping and are randomly guessing weird items.
