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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

We know that Coca Cola sold in the US is sweetened with corn syrup, and that Coke Zero is formulated to be as close as possible to the standard recipe.

But… Coca Cola here in the UK has always been sweetened with cane sugar.

Is the UK version of Coke Zero formulated differently to imitate the flavour of cane sugar instead? Or do we get a Coke Zero that’s trying to imitate HFCS?

(Side note: I’m aware a certain president recently decided Coke US should be made with cane sugar too, but that fact makes my question less interesting so I’m choosing to ignore it.)

We love salt and vinegar in the UK. I think statistically it’s the second most popular flavour of crisps here, after cheese and onion.

Sorry to hear the US somehow ruined it, although I’ve had pickle flavour crisps from the USA and enjoyed them, so I think there is hope.

I assumed it was just more chemicals and additives in the US

US has some good salt and vinegar chips, you just gotta get the right brand.

At risk of wading into a larger conflict about naming conventions for fried potato snacks, Pringles aren't really considered "chips" over here, but "potato crisps" due to their district texture and flavor.

If you get a good brand of salt and vinegar (preferably kettle cooked imo) chips here, they can be very strong.

Though I have had some issues with consistency in the past where one bag will just have hardly any flavoring, but I guess that's bound to happen one or two times when you eat literal tons of potato chips.

Personally, I'm a fan of jalapeno kettle cooked chips.
