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.

whaaaaa?

I confess, I mostly expected this post to contain things that also annoy me about my fellow Americans, but here I am now, rocked to my core

[–] prac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wait, is it actually that rare in the US? I thought honey was a standard alternative!

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago

It is, and the thought that someone would be annoyed by it shocks me

I'm a usaian and this is the first time I've ever heard of pancakes with honey. Could be a regional thing though. The country is a big place.

[–] prac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Interestingly, people who use honey often do it as a ‘healthier’ alternative to high-fructose corn syrup brands, though maple syrup actually has more minerals like calcium and potassium. Is honey the standard where you are from?

No it definitely isn't I've never heard of honey on pancakes only on toast. Maple syrup is the normal pancake topping. We actually can get the real stuff pretty easily where I am too because Minnesota is practically Canada.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fun fact: in America most common brands of both honey AND maple syrup are just flavored high fructose corn syrup. It's not like we don't have the real stuff on the same shelf, but you have to pay attention to the labels or you might get some bullshit.

A huge amount of the global honey industry is fake. The UK just had a whole big to-do over it.

I know Canada is more famous for it, but we produce an absolute fuckton of maple syrup in the states.

Honey is for peanut butter and a drizzle of honey sammiches, baklava, and biscuits, not pancakes or waffles.
