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 I eat chicken, I call it chicken. Chicken wing; chicken drumsticks etc.

When I eat lamb, I call it lamb. Lamb shank; lamb cutlets.

So why do I not eat pig or cow? I eat pork or beef. Is there a reason for that?

I'm also confused as to why English-speaking people in general, at least in the U.S. and Britain, are fine with eating sheep but not goat. Goat is one of those exotic meats the foreigners eat for some reason. I've never even had the opportunity to try goat. Could it be all that different?

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Goat is a bit of an acquired taste. That's why it's usually heavily spiced and stewed or slow cooked. And it's not like people eat a ton of mutton, either.

[–] livus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It's different in the same way that pheasant is different to chicken or wild pork is different to farmed pork.

In other words a stronger taste.

[–] Baconheatedradiator@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Goat is quite widely eaten in the UK. Mainly in Carribbean cuisine and indian cuisine in my experience.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I guess I meant outside of food cultures that don't come from within those countries.

[–] Bebo@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Goat is widely eaten in my country. We don't eat lamb.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What country is that, if you don't mind me asking?

Goat sounds more sustainable. You don't have to keep culling them when they're juveniles.

[–] Bebo@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

India. I mostly eat chicken and fish.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny, because lamb is extremely common in Indian food here in the U.S. I guess they Americanize it, which is not shocking.

[–] Bebo@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Coming to think about it, really don't know why lamb is not common here. Maybe it is some availability issue... I really don't have much idea about this but was wondering lamb/sheep have any problems surviving hot weather.
