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.

Warning: you will get texted so use your disposal number.

With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.

But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren't.

Sorry non-Americans that the American political landscape is a shit show. I hope you're enjoying the popcorn.

Do other countries eat popcorn?

[–] Buffalox 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children)

Yes people of many/most countries do.
There are different ways, some places they put salt on, others put sugar on, cheese is also popular, and I think Americans use butter.
Personally I'd love if we could have something more spicy.

What I’d give for some deviled eggs at the cinema concession store…

I've witnessed people in America using salt, sugar, and butter. Sometimes all three. Personally I just do a dusting of nutritional yeast, it gives it a cheesy flavor.

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

I also like nutritional yeast on popcorn. Sometimes i will do curry powder instead.

[–] Today 1 points 3 months ago

We use it for making vegan queso. Never thought of putting it on popcorn.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

Great for helping develop those yeast infections.

[–] FlightyPenguin 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Popping corn, coconut oil, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and chipotle powder.

[–] Buffalox 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Sounds great, maybe I should try to make them myself, instead of buying them for the microwave.

Is chipotle normally super hot, or is it just Jalapnos? I like it hot, but not SUPER hot.

[–] roofuskit 4 points 3 months ago

Pro tip, buy bulk popping corn and you can just pop it in the microwave with a brown paper bag.

[–] FlightyPenguin 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's riper, smoked jalapeno, so a bit hotter, but not by an order of magnitude.

[–] Buffalox 1 points 3 months ago

Ooh that sounds really nice then. 👍😀
I'll have to see if it's available here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sugar on popcorn? Wow!

I've been sprinkling spicy pepper flakes. Oil, spice, salt and pepper... Chefs kiss.

[–] Bonesince1997 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Kettle corn is a sweet popcorn. Have you tried it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was today years old when I learned that kettle corn is sugar-flavored. I just thought it was like... Pixie magic I dunno Im brain damaged from lead.

[–] Bonesince1997 1 points 3 months ago

Haha. Learning something new everyday!

[–] Today 2 points 3 months ago

I had exchange friends in high school and they were as freaked out by salt as i was by sugar. I like kettle because it's the best of both.

[–] DampCanary 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

While Amercia exports shit show, they offset it with another export: caramel popcorn

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I've never been prouder to export our caramel freedom. 🫡

[–] MissJinx 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait, non-americans can't vote?!!

[–] roofuskit 4 points 3 months ago

And some Americans, depends on what state you live in and the shade of your skin.
