Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
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 TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post 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.
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-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally 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.
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- 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.

Food in water... No thanks.
Soup is food!
Thanks for being pedantic but I clearly meant putting prepared food in water and not food where water is an ingredient.
That's how these noodles are prepared, they're run through cold water and served cold. The novelty here is it flows through a trough to you, instead of chilled out of sight and served.
😰
No gazpacho for you!
Whew looks like I escaped Nancy Pelosi's gazpacho police.
You mean mean Marge Greene?
Have you never tried cold noodles? One of my favorite dishes to make is to cook up some spaghetti, rinse it under cold water, and pour Italian dressing over top of it. It's refreshing and filling.
Nope. For some reason idea of food served cold is utterly unappealing to me.
Guys check it out this dude hates ice cream
Thebat does not like cold food. The fuck is the problem?
Because there’s tons of hella tasty cold food out there. Just seems odd (not to mention, impractical in a lot of cases) to refuse to consume cold (by which I mean “not heated”) food. Like, do they also refuse to touch sandwiches? Salads? Crackers? Or for Indian fare (as they said they were in India): chutneys, chaat, koshimbir, dahi puri/papti/bhalla, or dhokla, just to name a handful?
So? It like being invested in what somebody fucks. It's shouldn't be of you concern.
They don't like cold food. The only reaction that should follow is "okay".
Eh, that’s fair. I guess I’m just kinda surprised at the vehemence.
Ok now you're trying just a little too hard to be contrarian
You’ve clearly never had good soba noodles, because they’re fucking delicious.
I haven't. All Japanese restaurants where are I live are prohibitively expensive. Not all of us live in US.
Out of curiosity, may I ask what country you’re in?
India.
Ah. I haven’t been there myself, and am actually mildly surprised to learn that it’s so difficult to find reasonably priced Japanese food there. Thank you for sharing!
Ah this makes sense why you made your original comment now.
For all everyone is defending them yes I’m sure many people like them. That said, I accidentally ordered cold udon in Japan and it was unpleasant. I like cold foods of some sorts, but cold udon was something I intend not to have in the future if I can
