RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Durian. Apparently it's absolutely disgusting for some people.
I love durian stuff... gf refuses to kiss me for 2 days afterwards but its worth it every time
I had heard about it, so of course I had to try it when visiting Malaysia. It was alright. Durian chocolate carries a whiff of fart when you open it, but the taste is OK.
To me it tastes good but I cannot enjoy it because of the smell.
The smell is interesting, I've had it once and it initially smelled like rotting fruit or compost.
Now, it's the other way around. Rotting fruit smells like durian to me.
Oatmeal. Yes, it's the texture and temperature of boogers, but I never ate my boogers growing up. What I ate growing up was a lot of oatmeal.

Spaghetti with sugar.
Absolute heathen.
I was bullied so bad in school when I said I like sugar in my spaghetti 😅
they were trying to protect you. there are places in Italy where you wouldn't make it out alive after saying that out loud
Philippines?
Nah, just black.
If you haven’t had a chance, try to find a Jollybee’s near you.
Can do! 🫡
not too bad. I used to think dipping my ritz crackers in apple juice was the bomb until other kids looked at me funny for it.
I like Sushi Bake, but when I posted it in one of the food communities on lemmy, I was surprised that a significant % of people in the comments hated it.
What is Sushi Bake?
Pretty much any of those rolls you would see at Western sushi places with sauces and toppings, usually cooked. Unrolled and made more like a casserole.
Sounds tasty enough.
Yeah it’s basically just a deconstructed sushi, so I don’t know what the problem was. Maybe because I put mozarella as a topping before baking it, I dunno.
Yeah, I'd forego the cheese, but to each their own.
I'm curious, though.... Are you a midwesterner? This sounds very midwesterner.
Vegemite on toast
I've never tried vegemite, but I'm very curious to try it
The trick, if you ever do, is to ignore the way Aussies have it. It really is an acquired taste, and Aussies lather it on thick. But when first starting out, the best way to do it is to spread a large amount of butter (or margarine) on toast, and then over the top of that spread a very thin coating of Vegemite.

Goat cheese, lamb/mutton, truffle and any kind of mushroom, spicy foods
Once I had this dark chocolate with chile pepper and pop rocks in it, no one else wanted to try it but I really liked it

It’s not about the food but about the time of enjoying the taste of it
I like big dishes in the morning. Like really salty, savoury and messy
I routinely wake up, smell an imaginary scent of a whole dinner (hallucinations) and proceed to eat it as first thing in the morning
Quince cider. It's tart in just the right way.
There's a related plant whose name in Estonian directly translated to English would be something like "unquince" (as in undead). It's so sour and I just love the juice they make of it. Makes cider too dry imo though
Bean chili on waffles the look of disgust on people's faces but then they try it.
