From my quick searching I've seen pretty mixed answers. The studies I found seemed to say that it didn't contribute to kidney stones, the extra water offset the extra oxalate and some even said the risk of kidney stones was lower. But that was for "moderate amounts".

Tea and coffee in moderation are not a problem. While tea and coffee do contain some oxalate, the extra fluid outweighs any possible disadvantage. In fact, some studies suggest that drinking moderate amounts of tea and coffee can actually lower the risk of kidney stones. In general, if you do drink caffeinated beverages, keep your daily amount of caffeine to no more than 400 milligrams. That's equal to four or five cups of regular coffee.

A meta-analysis based on 3 studies showed that the relationship between tea consumption and kidney stones was borderline nonlinear, with a 4% decrease in the risk of kidney stones for each 110 ml/day increase in tea consumption [15].

Interesting.

I think they were talking about actual tea

It can be meaner but for a stand-up I think it could be fine, if the context is comedy and it didn't have genuine hatred behind it. In this case it's clear that it was used as a tool of hatred and not just for making a joke.

"You seemed like a person who would have a wizard's sleeve situation down there."

"Wtf it was my ears"

"So is the situation down there not fixed or what do you mean?"

I think it'd be subverting expectations. From the start you might think it's about the Pacific trash island that has collected there, but then it turns the other way and calls Puerto Rico a trash island. A decently funny joke imo, even if rude. I've seen the same joke being done about the UK and it did get a proper chuckle out of me.

Reminds me of this classic greentext

You seemed to have trouble understanding what was going on.

I've felt like systemd has been a breeze compared to the hodgepodge of different stuff that preceded it. Now most distros have it mostly the same way, tools are well documented, things works together. It wasn't always like that from what I remember

Not that that's bad when it's stuff like this
