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.

Title.

It feels like such a waste.

EDIT: This is the type of cheese I am referring to. It comes wrapped in a piece of plastic then bundled together with x more and all of them get covered in plastic

That’s how it’s made. They melt cheese with emulsifying salts, squirt it into a plastic envelope, and it cools into the shape of the wrapper.

thanks, i'm immediately going to continue never eating the disguising "cheese" slices ever again.

Calling it "cheese" is like saying meatloaf made from meat is "meat"

[–] Rejacked@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I think most people would agree that meatloaf made from meat is meat.

[–] Fal@yiffit.net 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah. But they wouldn't say it's made it's "meat"

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But unless you're making the shittiest meatloaf ever, it's not.

It's meat, breadcrumbs, seasoning, egg and whatever else you might put in there.

Yes. There is meat in it. But it is not pure meat.

Maybe, but it's the same logic as "cheese product".

If you refuse to call American Singles "cheese", then you should refuse to call meatloaf "meat" for the same reason.

You can call meatloaf "cheese" for all I care, just be consistent in your elitism.

[–] Rejacked@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but this is about saying kraft singles are not cheese. If someone points at your meatloaf and says "is that meat?" Are you gunna say "no"?

It is meat it's just meat with shit added. I mean if we include salt and pepper, I'm not even sure the last time I've had meat without something added.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I don't disagree with anything you said here. If you were trying to argue with me, you must not have understood my point.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Now that I agree with.

I call the singles “cheese” and meat loaf.. personally I call it meat with everything else thrown in.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I think this idea comes from the old Kraft Singles commercials that were bragging about how KRAFT american cheese is made of MILK!! Good good good. And OTHER brands are made of OIL!!!! Bad bad bad. I don't think any brands are made with anything but cheese, divided milk and emulsifiers, but here we are.

Kraft Singles: Cheddar Cheese (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Skim Milk, Milkfat, Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey, Calcium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Contains Less than 2% of Modified Food Starch, Salt, Lactic Acid, Milk, Annatto and Paprika Extract (Color), Natamycin (a Natural Mold Inhibitor), Enzymes, Cheese Culture, Vitamin D3.
