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.

Personally, I don't* but I was curious what others think.

^*^some sandwiches excluded like a Cubano or chicken parm; those do require cooking.

hm, no, because it is baking instead.

Care to elaborate? Other than toasting it, how do you consider it baking?

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

the bread is the lynch pin of the sandwich. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the ingredients, but the bread must (usually) be baked.

Only if you say sudo.

Cooking is simply the preparing of food.

It doesn’t necessarily require the application of heat.

If some one is being proud of a sandwich- let them be proud. We all start somewhere.

edit: to all the people downvoting me: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cooking

  1. the act of a person or thing that cooks.
  2. the art or practice of preparing food; cookery.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cooking

1A) the act of preparing food for eating, especially by heating 1B) a manner of preparing food

To say that "cooking" requires heat is inaccurate. It's the usual qualification, but is not necessary in a general sense.

and more to the point: If some one is proud of their sandwich, why would you take that from them? dick move. Even Gordon Fucking Ramsey had to start somewhere.

Cooking, also known as cookery or professionally as the culinary arts, is the art, science and craft of using heat to make food more palatable, digestible, nutritious, or safe.

Wikipedia says so. Can someone make a really good sandwich without cooking? Sure. I wouldn't even pull an "um ackshuly" on them. But you're putting words in OP's mouth now.

It you cook the sandwich, the bread, or any part of the filling, yes. If you toast your bread and warm up your ingredients in a pan, why not ? But if you are just cuting and filling. You're assembling a sandwich, not cooking it.

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

Entirely context dependent.

Who's cooking tonight? Me, and if it's sandwiches, salad, etc - still counts.

No cooking in the room. Combining sliced bread with sliced cheese out of the bag - doesn't count.

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

Only if making the sandwich involves cooking, like a grill cheese or something

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

Ya gotta toast it

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

Ehhh food preparation more than cooking. You're just assembling things. I'm a pro at a good sandwich if I do say so myself. Sometimes I have to cook to make that happen. But a basic sandwich...nah, no cooking involved.
