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.

The stems and leaves are virtually tasteless and make eating strawberries easier. They even have nutritional value!

Why YSK: It's an easy way to eat strawberries faster and with less mess while reducing food waste.

I'm confused. You comment looks like two different people making different points lol

Hopefully you spit out the seeds? They contain amygdalin, a substance that releases cyanide when it comes into contact with human digestive enzymes.

A few apples worth of seeds isn't enough to kill you or anything, and the seeds are apparently safe if you swallow them whole.

FWIW I have eaten apples whole for years, and I have not died of cyanide poisoning yet.

Yeah something came up as I was typing out a wrap-up conclusion statement so I posted my comment as-is. Congratulations on your continued existence!

I regret to inform you all of the passing of this account's user. CapitalismsRefugee was found dead of cyanide poisoning.

You just have to make sure not to crush them up since they have a protective layer to allow animals to eat and pass them for proper spread.
