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.

Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price... but I see the word 'coconut' and I can't resist.

I agree that people need to know, but you can be allergic to so many foods. I'm allergic to pomegranate, but I would rarely expect to encounter pomegranate where it wouldn't normally be.

I guess the 'no celery' thing makes sense, but why would you put mustard in coconut carrot soup in the first place? I kind of feel like they might as well have put 'no peanuts' on there too. I'm betting a peanut allergy is far, far, far more common than a mustard allergy.

I've seen gluten-free salt.

SALT.

Sometimes is useful info, sometimes a marketing stunt.

Seriously, salt.

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a big problem, right? You have to be careful when you go out to eat, because you never know when a restaurant might have included wheat in their salt shaker.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It was a supermarket. There was also GMO-free salt. I think it was a marketing stunt, but you never know, I guess you could find genetically altered salt if you searched hard enough?

[–] pandarisu 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd be more worried if you could find salt that was an organism

Ugly bags of mostly water...

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 1 month ago

I think we'd need to develop some sort of salt-based genome first.

Mustard is an amazing spice to use (along with others) when roasting carrots. I'm sure mustard (as long as you're not allergic) would be a valuable addition to a carrot soup. OP commented the soup was meh. It probably was lacking in spices.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 month ago

I am the OP and it was, indeed, lacking in spices. But I would also not want to add the flavor of mustard to the flavor of coconut.

Although I will say that my biggest complaint was that it could have had more coconut flavor.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I understand why "mustard free" would be listed, they should just be required to list all ingredients. Like the person above said "spices" isn't okay.

But that said, mustard is in most of my homemade soups. Once you discover the joys of toasted mustard seeds, you don't go back

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love mustard.

I don't know that I'd love coconut and mustard. And I'd try almost anything with coconut.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you like Indian food? A ton of curries have both mustard and coconut in them. It's not prepared mustard like Frenches, it's the seeds, toasted in a pan, and then ground. It's amazing

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 month ago

I do like Indian food, but I don't remember ever having a dish with both mustard seed and coconut.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

So I don't know coconut carrot soup, but I put mustard seed in my tomato soup (I know it sounds weird, but I have a recipe I've been developing for years)

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would give that a try, but I just could not imagine coconut and mustard being a good flavor combo.

I've heard weirder though. A friend of mine announced on social media that he decided to put chicken stock in his coffee and said he really liked it. I have odd friends.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 3 points 1 month ago

If I remember, i'll try to take pictures because it is one of those recipes I invented myself without measuring spoons. One step is: pour out a 3cm diameter circle of mustard seed into your mortar, then half-heartedly pestle the shit out of it because it's delightful to get a mustard pop in the middle of your soup. The rest is just "add spices and wait for the damn can to heat up" because it's a lazy recipe.

Mustard belongs nowhere. It should not exist. It is an affront to God. I want this label placed on all food.

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

Hard disagree. Like I can understand not liking the incredibly strong vinegar and mustard condiment combination but mustard itself is a seasoning that is used in lots of different dishes and can be very delicious without any of the zest of yellow mustard sauce.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 month ago

Whole mustard seeds can be good in some recipes too.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 month ago

You're an affront to god.

I would not want to live in a world without mustard!
