YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

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

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



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.

Posts and comments 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 non-YSK posts.

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



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

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

If you are a member, sympathizer 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.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Dishwashers won't clean these gaskets if they're washed while installed. Oh, and those silicone straws can come out of the dishwasher nasty too.

glass straws ftw. best mouthfeel (lol) of any straw AND you can see if there's dirt in em

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Biggest issue still remains compared to metal - can't just drink one handed, because you need to guide the straw so it doesn't hit your teeth. Plastic straws, how I miss thee

Seems you should also know that dishwashers only work so well as the detergent and water can access the objects inside. They are not a magic device that clean everything without fail.

[–] Numenor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They should.come with someone to wash them for me

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've got an iron flask which would be perfect if they would actually sell replacement lids!

[–] yool_ooloo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wow. Thank you. That was gross, but now it's clean.

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure, does Brita bottle gasket have a silver elements?

Also no problems with dishwashers.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm not doing that.
