This is great news, all other problems must have been solved!

I unironically had the same thought when I was about 7, seeing "pyramid shaped teabags" advertised on TV. I thought we must have solved literally every other problem on Earth if we have enough manpower to dedicate to something so trivial.

I want to recapture that feeling.

Kind of, but I also think "teabag scientists" are right to concentrate on "teabag science". Not sure I want them looking at "data security in the post-surveillance era" or "feeding an increasing population during a crop-destroying climate crisis".

Maybe try a ~~round~~ spherical teabag next, lads?

[Edit] I meant spherical :(

Already have the round teabag. It's sometimes called the Irish teabag.

Actually, I meant spherical. We already have round (flat) teabags. I am a fool.
