YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

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:

In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.



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:

Disinformation, 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.



Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.

Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.



Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

I get my meat the way god intended, from the side of the interstate. Chicken of the pavement. Highway hamburger. Fauna ala Ford. Jeep jerky. The other black meat.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 4 points 51 minutes ago

No. Canada still has proper rules and regulations in place...

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 2 hours ago

trump desperately trying to get argentinian beef to bypass meat inspections, which most other countries have banned already.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 20 points 5 hours ago

See? I told you so, bro. Industry can regulate itself just fine.

I don't know why you're laughing.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

GOP finding out the hard way why rules exist.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 10 minutes ago

Oh, they know. Which is exactly why they want to get rid of the rules that "prevent" (really just put in the absolute bare minimum of standards) companies from actively harming their customers and employees (too badly) to make a quick buck.

[–] Ozymati@lemmy.nz 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They're just gonna make it illegal to publish about food safety and call it a day

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 34 minutes ago

Until dinner time, at least.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

167,000 pounds? Is that Joe's backyard barbeque? He does cook up a lot of burgers...

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 15 points 6 hours ago (15 children)

Sounds like a great time to go vegan. 🖖

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

Yeah 'cause we know all the fresh veggie product from such brands as Taylor Farms is perfectly safe...

(jk going vegetarian or vegan is an admirable choice even if you do it noncommittally by reducing your animal protein consumption. Every 1 gram of animal protein required ~9g of feed depending on the animal.)

How long until I get my Vegan powers?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

It’s milk n’ eeeeeegs, bitch!

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net -1 points 42 minutes ago

It's a passive, you just statistically live longer and feel better.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 hours ago

They start the first time you can mention you are vegan in a conversation that isn't about food or animal products.

I use arch btw.

[–] bertlewirth@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

well, I'm a decade in, and still no powers D:

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

You have to be more righteous about it

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's a gradual building process, but some perks happen very quickly. Like your whole body being in distinctly less pain - that can happen in days depending on your inflammation status. Or being super bloated because you started eating way too much fiber way too soon, that can happen in a day.

After a few years you may find your immune system starts to become superhuman. Not even joking, it's kind of wild how much more resilient I am to sickness these days. Getting sick far less frequently, symptoms consistently becoming laughably mild, and duration is far shorter too.

Officially inspected meat from the US is not good enough for export into the EU. How much worse could uninspected meat be?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

We had some scares in the past. We learned from our mistakes. The EU actually does a lot of shit right.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

Whatever man I want to die anyway.

This recall list is for things the grocery store or restaurants see, not consumer sized cuts. When was the last time you bought 30lbs of menudo mix?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

individual consumer packages may not bear this labeling, as retail stores may have applied their own stickers with pricing and safe handling instructions

The recalled meat could still have ended up in packages for consumers. What they're saying is that you can't know since retail stores would have cut up this meat and repackaged it.

This doesn't seem to include any chicken.
