They literally haven't changed the temp they serve it at:

then let it fall into a cold container that soaks up much of the heat, and maybe even pour it into another cold container afterwards, which is where you drink it from.

If you're serious about making coffee then you're preheating everything that the coffee will contact.

That might be more to do with your social circles. There was a shit ton of teenage drinking happening when I was in high-school.

More Ukrainians will die, and that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

I genuinely can't tell if you are saying this ironically considering you are all over this thread defending Russia's invasion.

And Wikipedia?

We should strive to create a platform that isn't captured by the interests of advertisers. You're stating the obvious that nothing is free.

Look at lichess.org vs chess.com.

Lichess non-profit, and is maintained by a couple of devs funded purely by donations.

Chess.com has hundred of employees and requires tens of millions of annual revenue to break even. It has investors that expect yearly growth.

The user experience is not much different.

Wikipedia is another great example of a massive website that is run as a non-profit, is ad free and has stayed true to its original purpose.
