!justdontgetit@lemmy.tf is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

try cleaning one.. or try verifying one is clean inside. why not rock an insulated tumbler that seals and use it for years?

Serious answer: my sister has been pushing me to get one. But she introduced the concept to me with a bottle of tequila inside. The hangover the next day wasn't nice at all. I do have a question though as you seem more trustworthy than my sister ๐Ÿ˜ญ can I stick them in the freezer should I need to make something cold quickly?

Not so serious answer: because I want to be a drunken master!

Freezing water will break insulated bottles but why would you put insulated anything in a freezer? You will not get anything cold quick by putting in a freezer in an insulated container

In Brazil we drink mate from cuias, but they're made of wood and so very hard to clean. First time I used one I cleaned it with soap and let it dry upside down on my counter, woke up to find it completely mouldy.

Don't trust anything but metal for hygiene.

Cuias only have a one time use?

No, but I didn't know how to clean it properly...

Easier to clean and sterilize, mostly.
