The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

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.
Posts and comments 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 non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer 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.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

fuck you!
YSK is such a pale imitation of TIL. Please disagree, I've been baiting all fucking night and you all are way too chill. There is zero lively conversations on Lemmy. "but we don't have bots" the fuck you don't, in the mornings I see bots constantly importing reddit threads. I feel like I'm on fucking 1998 usenet. DEBATE ME!
I don't wanna be that guy, but I have to be fair and ask:
Why should I know this?
Because if you're sad now, but you want to be happy - you should probably eat an orange. It's a nice thing to know
Yeah I know, but its not in the body of the post per Rule 2. Plenty of really bad YSKs that didnt belong here had the same thing and I called some of them out too. So in order to be fair I have to ask it here too, thats all.
YSAK: If you don't feel sad, eat an orange
Oranges are yummy and keep you from getting scurvy
This post has been paid for by The Orange Gang
I have never personally known anyone with scurvy... But yeah, they are tasty.
Oranges and other citrus fruit are also significantly acidic, which is hard on teef. So try not to go overboard, or at least rinse your mouth with water afterwards if you eat citrus regularly.
By the same token, do not rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. This gives more of the toothpaste's fluoride a chance to adhere, from my understanding.
It is an exposure thing, so you're better off eating it in one sitting rather than snacking on acidic things throughout the day.
Can I eat the juicy orang right after brushing my teefers?
Maybe save a step, and simply brush your teef with the orange!
Oh yeah emotions are just nutritional signals and gut-bacteria signals, I guess we're all just making up reasons to be ABNORMAL AND DIFFICULT.
THANKS HARVARD NERDS
Ever thought about eating an orange?
What if you're sad about the price of oranges?
Advice from the little book of calm.
If you cant find an orange, pretend you're eating one, and then laugh.
The waves are scary if you don't read it correctly though.
Does it work with (non-artifical) orange juice as well?
If it's artificial it isn't orange juice.
Artificial juice can definitely be orange (from dyes) π€

True, but here (Denmark) it is literally illegal to sell anything but pure fruit juice as juice, if it is made from concentrate it has to be labelled clearly, and it is only allowed to ad the amount of water that was removed.
If it has added sugar it is called Nektar.
If it has artificial flavors it is called Saft. Saft can also have added sugar. Saft also means Juice, English does not AFAIK have the words to distinguish between pure juice and flavored and sweetened juice.
IDK the rules in other EU countries, but my guess is that they are similar, but localized depending on language.
Tang is certainly orange

At least for me, all citrus fruits including their juices have an effect that they make me somewhat happier and help somewhat against depression. In the winter, I usually eat several mandarins a day.
If the bacteria can get what they need from it, i imagine the less processed it is the better.
I always just thought it was the sugar in the OJ making me feel better. π€·ββοΈ
Orange juice also has some magnesium in it which can slightly help with pain and such.
I drink it when I get a migraine and always thought it was the sugar too till I found that out.
Does this work with dried oranges?
I drink a tea that has orange in it so it would be awesome if it applies
I mean, this research wouldn't be able to tell what about oranges makes these bacteria thrive, so would need a separate study for dried oranges or similar variations.
Having said that, your tea likely has so little actual orange in it, that it's very likely negligible either way.
There's probably just a tiny bit of orange in each tea bag to begin with, and it might even just be orange peel. And then it's just traces of that which go into your tea water, too.
Of course, drinking tea in general can probably also help with depression in some way. At the very least, it hydrates you and presumably improves blood circulation, which can help get you out of a rut.
do people hust have oranges lying around. We get them sometimes when they are in season enough to be cheap and nice.
I eat at least 2 blood oranges a day, sometimes 5 or even 6. They taste so damn good, and they're relatively cheap ($1.49/lb). I literally always have at least 4 pounds on hand, but I just restocked, so I've got 12 pounds at the moment. Sometimes, in the summer, I buy extra so I can juice them. Then I mix the juice with pomegranate juice, and pour the mix over ice in a kala namak rimmed glass. Vodka optional.
well alright then.
I usually do because they're tasty, they stay good for a long time, and they're available cheaply year round in the US.
I love me some good navel oranges. So, on a good day, yes.
