I think emulating twitter was a huge mistake for mastadon, the twitter reply structure that makes it difficult to have a long conversation with multiple people to be the main part of the post but ideal for "dunks" and outrage farming. I think the Tumblr reblog structure would have been an infinitly better choice for the more actual socialising thing fediverse is going for and a small user base that isnt producing much content and can re-circulate older posts. also it's less image-centric allowing more posts to be stored on a server, additionally (intuitively, I haven't thought about implementation that hard) it seems like a much more natural fit for federation.

Milk in tea is only universal for English/Irish breakfast tea(idk how popular they are outside wester Europe but in England/Ireland if someon says tea they mean breakfast tea and will specify otherwise)for something like chai or eal grey 1/3~(anicdotally) of people who drink it wouldn't have mik, and the milk isn't hot it's normally fridge-cold to room-temp the tea bag is steeped in just water, the point is to sweeten the rea and cool it down

It's because a native Japanese speaker it's likely to split an English word like lock into 2 syllables(and ad an oo sound to the end so the 2nd syllable has a vowel) resulting in "lo-ku" and there is no distinction between r and l in Japanese so it's also "ro-ku"

It's commonly used as a plot device in stories, and in my experience people will tell you about it as a way to "wake up" in the dream if you complain about nightmares and people I've spoken to IRL about it take it as accepted truth
