No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price... but I see the word 'coconut' and I can't resist.

For me and mine, it's carrots. Do you know how difficult it is to find carrot-free items? Impossible.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup - carrots are often used as a natural sweetener so carrot juice ends up in fucking everything.

I used to live near a soup shop called nunyons that specifically catered to that allergy! If you're ever in Burlington VT give it a go!

I can imagine. That must rule out most storebought broths (I don't know about stocks) since mirepoix (celery/onion/carrot) is how you start delicious broth. I can't eat poultry and they put chicken bouillon on bbq lays potato chips. That was a fun discovery.

It is hard to find onion-free chicken stock. My dog goes nuts for chicken but is a fussy eater otherwise, so we're always on the lookout for dog-friendly stock to add to his kibble.

I don't eat pig and Applebee's adds bacon to their Mac and cheese. They list like 8 different cheeses in the description but don't mention the bacon. Parents didn't want me to make a fuss so I ate it. That was not fun. (This was years ago, ymmv, I don't talk to those parents anymore because reasons.)

Me and mine have various food sensitivities (latex, nightshades, pork). I use an android app "fig" to check things at the grocery store--scan the barcode and Fig tells me who shouldn't eat it and why. It does smart things like label "spices" as yellow because maybe it's peppers maybe it's not. The free version is sufficient for one person. The paid version lets you add more profiles.

Whatever is in hummus from nice restaurants, for me. Something fresh? And I used to make hummus in a restaurant and never had a problem. Most of the ingredients came from a can though.

Have you tested sumac? Sometimes the nicer med restaurants around here will sprinkle that spice on their dishes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Interesting. I didn't know sumac was anything other than poisonous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac Of course no one would use urushiol as a spice, would they?
