No Stupid Questions
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.

Eat more beans.
There are so many different kind of beans and some can be toxic if you dont prepare it correctly though right? Maybe I'm being needless overly cautious but of all them I only tried black/white beans
There's no toxic canned beans. You can explore cooking beans yourself later as you find out which ones you like most.
Thanks but isn't canned food unhealthy?
It's about the level of processing / how it's done. If the company is doing what you can do at home, like preserving beans through pressure canning, it's not really an issue. More processed beans, beans in tomato/molasses take more processing and additives.
Look at the ingredients. If it's beans in water it wouldnt be considered ultra processed.
Thankss :) good to know I wasn't aware of this
Not as a rule, no.
This is true of many different types of foods.
Try garbanzo/chickpeas.
Don't eat toxic beans.
Do you know the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo?
Trump never paid to have a garbanzo on his chest.
But he was paid by Goya to do that.
Maybe just a few toxic ones?
Right? At a minimum, it might help mental health to allow some things to ferment a bit and then consume the toxic byproducts in moderation.
Edit: fixed typos
Thanks :) do you happen to know any electric machines I can buy where I can just let chickpeas cooking while I do other stuff?
Pressure Cookers are wonderful for beans. Something like the Instant Pot can cook beans for you, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. If you're not comfortable with pressure cookers, there's also slow cookers, tho they'll take longer than just boiling the beans.
You could also just put the beans, water/stock, whatever seasonings you want in an oven proof pot, bring it up to a boil on the stove, and then transfer it into a 325F oven and let it go for 1-1.5 hours
Thankss :)
I don't understand what you're asking.
Soak dried chickpeas overnight in salt water. Boil the chickpeas. Add seasonings, sauces, and/or condiments. This will cost you pennies to prepare.
Thankss :)
