Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It was a pet in my case. This was pre-covid, so I wasn't working at home, and I had this wonderful husky mutt. He loved food, and had a history of what we called "counter surfing" where he'd snatch up any unattended food left on counters.
That was mostly when he was younger though. He'd gotten a lot better about it and we thought we could trust him again. So one day he gets left alone inside for a bit, which everyone would soon come to regret. My idiot boy decided with his brain cell to break into a cabinet and gorged himself on two full pounds of raw white rice.
Thought he might have had a stroke when I first saw him, he was on his side, bloated and unable to get up. Rushed him to the vet and they took the funniest xray that technician had ever seen. Dog was totally fine, just uncomfortable for a while until he could poop out the rice.
my dog cat 2lbs of cat food once. happiest day of her life probably.
but oh my god the amount of horribly thinky farts and poos the next couple of days.
I love the constant dichotomy presented by dogs. They do so many intelligent things, but then will do the dumbest shit possible like eating 2 pounds of uncooked rice.
Like, bro. We both know you're smarter than this.
