Real answer:

American food is historically worse than British, the cold water helps numb your tongue.

Then why the gently caress is Britain's national dish Chicken tikka masala?

That's bullshit. The Chinese drink warm water because of Taoist superstition, the same reason they bake live dogs to death in large ovens (pain makes meat taste better) and torture black bears for their entire lives (bear bile supposedly has magical properties)

that's just like your opinion man

Why do Europeans think about / discuss America roughly 1000 times as much as we do them. We drink cold water because you're loving fascinated with us and we know it baffles you and pisses you off, that's why :mad:

we don't think about Europeans as much because we get hung up on simple things like calling fries chips, so we never get any further

i mean what the gently caress fries are not even chip shaped, call them sticks or pieces or something if you're gonna be that literal

cold water is really nice in the summer or when u are really thirsty...but room temp bottled water is typically what i am drinking throughout the day and it is just something ive become so accustomed to and dont mind it at all. plus a man from china that i used to work with said always drinking ice cold water isnt good for u because it like shocks ur system or something and i kinda get that.

water of any temp though is still far better than drinking any other kind of typical america refreshment though that is loaded with HFCS/sugar, artificial sweetners, brominated veg oil, etc. drink like 1/2 to 1g a day and u will start to feel and even look a little better, trust me i speak truth. obviously u will also piss more which is a good excuse to get away from ur desk and it also feels p good most of the time.

Europeans are hard-wired against anything that makes their lives easier. Which is why they still mostly drive manual transmissions.

Which can be kinda cool. I like manual autos.

Sometimes I want to drive a sporty, European manual. After I have a glass of introspective warm water. Other times I want a super-sized American truck automatic with giant cupholders and I can just cruiiiiise down the highway chugging on my big gulp.

Europe is the quiet, introverted guy that snidely says to the girls around him "Pfft...can you believe that guy? Thinks he's king of the world..."

Then he simmers in a quiet rage when the same girls go chat up the loud, obnoxious American.

from what i've seen, most stuff in traditional chinese medicine is ok/not completely batshit insane, and the crazy poo poo is more on the fringe and even considered to be snake oil by most(like "eat this shaved antler horn" or something). the easy way to tell which is which usually is if the edible/practice in question is supposed to be "good for men", which is inevitably about augmenting dick power, and anything about dick power is like a supermagnet for dirty asian men. it seems the rarer and more exotic the bullshit is, the better it is for your dingdong. me and my brother hypothesized that the most powerful medicine in the future will be powdered frozen tiger fetus penis whenever they get around to figuring out how to make it

It's got diagnostic tongue fuzz for everything and arbitrarily decides whether or not things are hot or cold and how they balance each other out. It's pretty goofy.

you know, some people think mao was a bad man because of the whole "horrible loving idiot autocrat" thing, but I'd hazard that his encouragement of the most laughably idiotic superstitions china ever shat out is a far more intellectually serious crime

i mean, yea, sure, millions dead, but at least it wasn't "One wierd tip to cure your limp dick using endangered species!!!" being justified by people pretending to be doctors

the more lukewarm something is, the more desirable it is

It all started when the president of Europe declared cold beverages to be haram and it kind of snowballed from there

I used to prefer water to be cold with ice in it. Then I started running and room temp water is way easier to gulp down than ice water. And I guess it just stuck and you dont have to gently caress about with icecubs.
