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.

Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.

Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like... butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So... Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?

Am I missing something?

They are really hard to find ripe. They don't ripen until picked - but unfortunatly there is at best one day between ripe and rotten. That is at best, if they bruise at all while handling they will got rotten fast.

Not really worth buying if you don't live where they grow - about half of the ones I buy are rotten before we can eat them - and I pay 5 times the cost as they go for in a tropical location.

I love raw plain avocado but most people don't and wouldn't eat it like that

[–] SZof@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Try them with some Worcester Sauce. Amazing contrast but flavorful.

It's good with salt some oil and some bread. You're right. It is better with other things rather then raw. You can also make them into a great dip for corn chips

Try having one with some marmite

I guess it depends on the cultivar? For example avocado cultivars in my country are more milder and sweeter while in America the avocado cultivars have a stronger taste.

Fwiw, I'm latina and generally not a big fan of them. Growing up, my dad ate at least one a day. It's a huge thing in Hispanic households. They're too bland

Add mustard.

I always though avocados taste were kind of bland compared to so many other foods. But when I was made aware that it actually tastes like a clean penis, and it actually does, I've come to enjoy the taste more.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But this begs the question. Do you really enjoy the taste of cock or the taste of clean.

[–] Griffus@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I'd say the former, but not unhappy with the latter. In the case of avocado, it was for me a case of making sense of the taste. And it worked once I had a reference to attach it to.
