No Stupid Questions
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.

only because it's easy to melt, not because it actually taste better than other cheese options such as cheddar, swiss, or pepper jack.
Kenji Lopez-Alt has a cool video where he uses American cheese as the emulsifier to make some less-melty cheeses participate in a grilled cheese. I have been using it more for its emulsifying agents than anything lately: https://youtu.be/CD8UTr5mMVk?si=n5xOumvtBqromQtB
Oh, but it does actually taste better specifically on a burger.
American "cheese product" can fuck right off. Gouda melts just as well and actually tastes like....you know....cheese.
No, it doesn't melt nearly as well. It does once you add emulsifying salts to the Gouda.
You stock emulsifying salts?
Yes, do you not? I'm still going through the package I bought 3 years ago.
If you like eating melted plastic
Are you scared of emulsifying agents, or what do you call "plastic"? There is no plastic in American cheese.
if you equate not liking something with being "scared", that says much ore about you than it does me.
I don't feel the need to misrepresent things I don't like. So why do you?
i haven't. just because you disagree with me doesn't make you right. why are you so self-important that you feel the compulsion to lie? are you so insecure that starting petty fights with internet strangers is your only way to make it through the day?
it's just cheese. it's not that important (and neither are you).
You stated that American cheese contains plastic. It doesn't. Why do you choose to lie about this?
I don't "disagree", this is a factual statement with a factual answer. You are simply wrong. Why don't you accept that?
it's pretty bold to lie like this when there's a log of my comments just above yours showing that i didn't say that. but, go on and show me the quote where i said it "contains plastic"
no, you lied.
and that fact is that you made up a little story to make yourself feel important.
except you lied about what i said-- i never said, "American cheese contains plastic"
You literally said: "If you like eating melted plastic". Are you going to claim that this doesn't imply that American cheese contains plastic?
It's pretty bold to lie like this when there's a log of your comments just above yours showing you said that.
i'm not responsible for what you infer. if you misunderstood what i said due to poor language skills or for whatever reason, that's not my fault.
but i accept this as an admission that you lied.
This might be the boldest attempt at gaslighting I've ever seen. Congratulations!
it's not my first time being gaslit by someone with too much time and not enough sense. really...you did such a terrible job, leaving proof of your lies all over the place.
