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.

Depends on the country. The Canadian government lists several special medical diets for prisoners. Food allergies is one but they list quite a bit like diets for diabetic or pregnant prisoners. For all these diets the prisoner must be diagnosed and can't simply request it because they want it.

A diet of conscience is a requested diet for religious or moral beliefs. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires prisoners recieve a diet that conforms to their beliefs should they be able to adequately describe and demonstrate adherence to them.

If they have a specific food allergy, they are given a meal that won't have that in it. Dietary and Medical keep very up-to-date lists of who can have what. Whether it's an MTI meal, Gerd, alternate protein, etc.

They let them die of course.

What do you think they did?

Peanuts are easy enough to eliminate from catering. Airlines don’t serve any food containing peanuts, in case there’s a passenger on board with an allergy severe enough to be set off by peanut aroma in recycled air, so if one assumes that prisons have a nominal duty of care for inmates at least to the point of not killing any accidentally, it’d follow that they also abolish peanuts from their food.

There's no evidence to support severe allergic reactions from airborne nut particles, fwiw. Reactions occur from ingestion or skin contact, not air.

Legal says it's better safe than sorry.

Airplanes constantly turn over the cabin air 10-15x per hour with bleed air from the engines. This then heads out the outflow valves to the exterior of the airplane.

The recirculating fans have HEPA filters on them, but the majority of air is fresh.

Even with no peanuts on board, there still can be contamination of the other foods served on board, not to mention residue from previous passengers snacks.

This absolutely.

They sell peanuts, m&ms, Asian food, etc at all the little shops in the terminal.

dairy intolerance, religious food restrictions, bad teeth (can't chew) etc all handled the same way.

And gluten intolerances, or any food tolerance issue?
