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.

It means:

"Take it back to the retailer and get your money back."

Or:

"Eat me for a personal food poisoning experience."

Take your pick..

This may be No Stupid Questions, but there sure are a lot of stupid answers.

Do you plan to take a flight at some stage?

It says "meilleur avant" so I think LJ is "Lundi-Jeudi"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Would LJ be the year code and 349 the Julian date?

Chinese dates have two word years that equate to animals (see the options on this date converter), but they don't have an 'L' sound, so none of them are going to start with that. No clue unless it's a typo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Only the second word is an animal. The first word is a quantifier from the Chinese words for thing A, B, C, D and E. So whereas you might say "Person A buys 32 watermelons" in a word problem, the chinese would say "Jia buys 32 watermelons". Most word problems use saner names nowadays, though.

L is probably the factory code J could be the number 9, if A=0, so the last digit of the year. So a guess would be Dec 14th 2029. Which seems like a long way off. Unless A=1, that means J=0, so 2020 and it's expired, but maybe 2030.

"Best Before" doesn't mean anything. Only "Use By" is an indicator of expired food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Damn this one is tough my best guess LJ is like how the manufacturer tracks it internally or something like that and the 349 could be like eat before the 349th day of that year. Again this is just a guess probably contact the manufacturer to be 100% clear what that means.

Maybe December 2022. But who knows.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

This site says to use it in 1-2 months: https://rivieraseafoodclub.com/products/unagi-freshwater-eel

As many have said, the numerical digits probably refer to a Julian calendar date. Also to consider, some products list the pack date rather than the expiration date. So it’s possible these were packed in December and are already “expired”.

Year 349 since the return of Late Jesus.

It's about 500 years in the future I think

I mean, is there something to the right? I think not because the français is below so I guess good luck. I'd personally eat it unless you bought it months ago.
