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.

When Microwaves first came out they were huge but with a tiny cooking area and they were not affordable, and were mostly in business kitchens and a few restaurants. I would love a freeze dryer but the cheapest I have seen is $1600 and they only have 4 small trays.

Probably not. They aren't mass produced to the same extent because while there is a market for them, that market isn't even close to as large as the microwave market.

Also, I highly recommend Technology Connections' video on freeze dryers, as it highlights why it's not as useful as they may seem - They have their uses, but freeze drying is not the ultimate food preservation method.

The video goes in depth into how freeze drying works (and doesn't), and I recommend watching the entire thing and evaluate whether you actually need one.

Watch this episode. It will cure most people of wanting a freeze dryer. The only thing I would get one for is if I did a lot of backpacking or expected the zombie apocalypse after I had 5 years to freeze dry enough shit to trade for concubines.

My sister has one specifically to sell novelty foods at craft fairs.

[–] ikidd 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, I guess she's not in the potential concubine pool. That's a shame.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe you could be her concubine?

[–] DerArzt 1 points 2 weeks ago

Good man servants are just so hard to find after the great rending.

[–] ch00f 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m missing something here…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The person you replied to said

after I had 5 years to freeze dry enough shit to trade for concubines.

and you indicated that your sister would have enough of her own freeze-dried food that she wouldn't need to trade for it. Thus, she is safe from being OP's concubine.

Safe from? You mean she doesn't get to.
