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.

more than likely sulforaphene is more useful invivo studies rather than consumed, because the stomach acid will likely neutralize the effect the compound anyways.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

I just wish they tasted better.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Someone has cornered the radish market.

[–] Skanky@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

To me, they taste like dirt. Like seriously - I'm not trying to be edgy here, that's just what they taste like to me. I'm also one of those "cilantro tastes like soap" people. Possibly related?

[–] DODOKING38@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Have you tried quick pickling or just pickling, cut the radishes, spoon of sugar and vinegar for a few hours and that's it.

Basically the same thing as onion https://youtu.be/6VPkezPD0EE

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Maybe most people just don't know what dirt tastes like? I don't know what dirt tastes like, I assume different dirt tastes different? Is there a universal dirt tastes? What's your favorite dirt? Maybe radishes only taste like the dirt where you live? Maybe you have radish flavoured dirt where you live?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Those are true for me too. Does celery smell like medicine to you? It does me :|

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 4 hours ago

I mean, they don't really taste like much on their own so perhaps you just need to clean them. They did come out of the ground, after all.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Fresh radishes are very tasty. I like them better as a planty snack than carrots.

[–] Artemis_Mystique@lemmy.ml 55 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Too many claims, too little sources to back it up; did big radish write this?

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

big radish

They're called daikon.

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is the second post I've seen today regarding radishes.

Big Radish is on the move.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Just wait until you hear from Big Daikon.

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Although sulforaphane research on cancer has been ongoing for many years, there is no good clinical evidence to indicate consuming sulforaphane-rich vegetables or dietary supplements provides any effect. Wikipedia

Hmm

[–] justastranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

The fact that this post continues to stay up is an indictment of Lemmy moderation

you don't feel that way when you have to make dozens of radish roses in culinary school

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 212 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I mean they're cool, but they're not that cool.

They're only rad-ish.

Was this written by a guy who is in love with, and does sleep with, radishes?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

daikon't see a problem with it.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

I love that the pronunciation of daikon makes this sentence sound British in my head

[–] edg@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They also make your farts smell like rotten eggs if you eat too many of them.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

really?

raw? I've been eating radishes for years - the red ones mostly - and haven't had this.

I certainly have broccoli farts tho, and asparagus pee.

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

contain vitamin C

Basically all plants do. Do radishes contain unusually much of it?

improve blood pressure

Higher or lower?
