  • Poptart rule

    Jump

  • Assuming OOP does infact just microwave poptarts and relies on other ready-mades, I don't think they have all the necessary equipment for baking.

    I just think it's a tougher place to start in because while you get exact measurements, there's more nuance and less room for improvising.

    I tried baking something (pigs in blankets) for the first time after having cooked for years. If you are not fully prepared for every micro-disaster that can strike during dough making, your life will be hell. Cooking pasta only has the prerequisite of knowing how to boil water, and reading the time for how much to boil the noodles.

    You can follow the instructions on bread, quantities and time to bake, and yet there's still stuff you have to account for and know from experience.

  • Baking is the worst place to start for a beginner, because it reauires more precision in ingredient quantity and technique. There's little room for error.

    Whereas with cooking a simple dish like pasta or rice, you have more leeway with quantities and cooking times and preparation. And wayy more room for error. You can easily experiment with more/less of ingredients because it won't affect the overall dish and flavour much.

    Whereas with baking, dough for example is hell. You need an almost astronomical precision unless you want to glue your entire kitchen, or make it too runny, or too floury. Baking also becomes more difficult wihout measurement devices, whereas with cooking trusting something loose like a cup or just eyeballing isn't catastrophic.

  • 7,000 Microplastics Studies Show We Have One Really Big Problem

  • scrolling in the comment section of this news article, i've only seen people either being concerner/shocked, and some sarcastically talking about recycling or something. Nothing about masturbation.

    And if your criticism of lemmy is that it's being reddit with elitism, then why try to gatekeep the way people are going to react to an article on c/science? Are we all supposed to have degrees in chemistry or biology before making a comment?

    Believe it or not people take heavy news a million different ways and react differently. People ending up making a masturbation joke after discussing microplastics in testicles (i assume this is what happened) harm nothing and no one.

  • counterpoints:

    This would only hold up if the person is using male/female and not man/female

    And assuming this still holds up, why not go with male/woman? The type of people to use this shouldn't be bothered, i mean thry throw the term "alpha male" all the time

    Oh wait, i think the solution is to just use man/woman unless you're in a very biological discussion

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?

    Jump

  • And useful to let you know if a post is actually genuine/useful, or something you should probably ignore and disregard because everyone else that read it before you discarded it as bad

    no it must only be for content farming

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?

    Jump

  • okay but you make posts with the expectation they are public. Votes only change a number, and are a way for you to show support/disagreement for something without broadcasting it to everyone.

    If you want to broadcast it and make it public you can reply to a comment

    No thanks. I'm good.

  • Looks like Valve is introducing a new review system to filter out "unhelpful" reviews

  • at least these reviews are more informative about a game than the "just leaving this cat here" for thr billionth time

  • Do animals have emotions like us?

    Jump

  • You can still care about ethics and animal safety, and you are allowed to avoid foods you cannot eat due to allergy, even if that comes at an unfortunate cost

  • Do animals have emotions like us?

    Jump

  • And then when someone brings a topic to discussion related to these issues

    "I can't be vegan, i'm allergic to a lot of stuff", suddenly it's not about having a discussion anymore but rather to push one side of the story without consideration for others.

  • ‘I am not made for war’: the men fleeing Ukraine to evade conscription

    Jump

  • And if you stop helping Ukraine and it runs out of resources, what do you think will happen?

    Russia will see this and be like: "oh sorry Ukraine i'll continue when you are rich"

    I dislike war as much as the next guy but I also dislike the idea of Russia taking over Ukraine. And Poland. And Moldova. And any other former USSR state

  • Or maybe he's saying the company's desire for profits took precedence over allowing people to read actual sex crimes and be upset about it.

    Plus his first concern was the victims clearly, after having clicked the linka nd being blocked off from accessing it by a paywall. Maybe you should have taken your advice and moved along

  • wouldn't a malicious app still be an exploit though? I'd say that if I download an app for playing a game, but instead it was designed to also upload my private photos to the attacker's server, i'd say that's still exploiting. It's just exploiting my expectations of what the app should do, rather than leveraging a system weakness (which it probably does, anyway)
