Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Mustard is the designated "normal" condiment for hot dogs, no?????? Mustard+relish, maybe some diced onion. What was he supposed to have used, ketchup??? 🤢

Or did he use some "fancy" stone ground dijon mustard so people were offended it wasn't just yellow mustard?

EDIT: I looked it up and it was spicy Dijon mustard on a hamburger, not a hot dog. That's extra silly because hamburgers go with basically any condiment, from sriracha to aioli.

people were offended because they thought it's elitist to eat dijon

  1. I'm poor and stupid but I eat dijon and I love it

  2. the same people went on to vote for the most elitist president I've known by far

they simply wanted to hate the black man

if the only reason to hate him republicans could think of is that he ate mustard, that man is irreproachable

Dijon isn't even much more expensive than other mustards lol

Ketchup is typically on hotdogs.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The wikipedia image for hot dog has only mustard on it, and the vast majority of images when searching for "hot dog" have mustard, or both mustard and ketchup, but I don't see a single example of only ketchup. Only ketchup on a hotdog is usually what would be served to young children.

Gatekeeping condiments on other people’s food isn’t a great look.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Yep, the GOP looked pretty dumb for doing this

Not in Chicago.

We don't like ketchup on hot dogs.

Mustard, relish, onion, tomato, pickle, sport peppers, and celery salt are what we like.

...what sport do the peppers play?
