How come reading tea leaves is seen as this sophisticated, witchy thing but if I slam dunk an open can of Chef Boyardee ravioli onto the pavement in the gas station parking lot to see what kind of soda the old ones think I should buy, foodstuff divination suddenly isn’t cool anymore?
“Things are heating up!”
I laughed way too hard at this.
tea is cheap and you read the leftover leaves from drinking a cup. that is some wasteful and expensive divination.
I’d be really unhappy if I stepped in a pile of spaghetti-O’s while walking into a gas station.
Plus, with an additional time preparation and consumption of tea\coffee implies, one can charm a person to better believe whatever comes in that forecast. It’s an important lag psychology-wise, that also kinda involves people themselves in the said process, so they have harder times doubting it all.
ceremony is key.
Some might say it’s too disruptive, but that’s just tone policing.
People these days don’t know how to appreciate a bit of showmanship I tell ya hwat
Yuup
that sounds way fucking cooler tbh
