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.

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.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Insulting people for for putting ketchup on their steak and shit like that is not a meaningful discussion.
It's not insulting to talk about it.... How insecure does a person have to be to not be able to discuss food choices? I framed the question specifically to include you. There is not objective good/bad right/wrong. Nobody is being insulted because understanding the concept of subjectivity is expected amongst adults...
It depends entirely on the tone of the conversation. Saying shit like "pineapple on pizza is an abomination" or "ketchup is for babies" is insulting. Giving reasons for why you personally don't like something or how it could be better is fine but to tell others what to do with their own food, so long as they are not wasting it, is wrong.
Did I say any of that at any point? Seems like you're just making stuff up to be bothered by lmao. Further, if you're shaken to the core because you like ketchup and someone said its for babies... I mean....
No you didn't, I was clarifying what I meant by my original statement as it's definitely a thing that happens. Although not as much of it going on in this post as I would have expected to see which is nice.
| Further, if you’re shaken to the core because you like ketchup and someone said its for babies… I mean…
While that was just an example I made up I'd hardly need to be "shaken to the core" by something to think it's wrong. Seems you're the one projecting.
It's just incredibly annoying/cringy to see someone try to take a perceived moral high ground when it's completely unnecessary.
You asked the question.
Your answer is the problem.
Sorry for thinking people should be respectful of others choices when it has no effect on themselves I guess.
