Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What is everyone having for dinner today?
Actually, a really nice Dahl as I'm getting over a recent sickness.
I can't eat solid food (it's a long story that I'm sure many people are sick of), but I have Amy's Golden Lentil dahl almost every day. I love it.
Amy must be fuckin starving
I scared my cat from laughing too hard at this
Mustard glazed pork chops and fettuccine Alfredo with spinach.
(Really, SwiftKey??)
Mustard-glazed pork chops sounds amazing. I'm gonna need an update on this one.
It's actually really simple and easy, and glazed is a misnomer because I don't know another word, and it works best with bone-in country style ribs. So, either salt and pepper your desired cut of pork beforehand, OR you can put the s&p in the mustard. Not sure which I prefer. Pre-heat your pan; I like cast iron. Liberally baste your pork with Dijon mustard (I have tried other varieties, and dijon works the best). Fry them up in the pan. You will lose a lot of the mustard crust to the pan, and I have not figured out a way around this. That said, the mustard caramelizes in the heat, and you get a wonderful mix of sweet and savory at just the right ratio. That's basically it. It's my favorite way to do Country Style ribs.
Ah, Swiftkey just wanted something themselves, that’s okay.
Weird that you have different votes in your view though, I see 27 up, 2 down.
Edit: wait, geico is insurance? Be safe op, Swiftkey may be warning you….
Vegan miso vite ramen with kimchi and a spicy ginger beer
Celebrated a bday today, so I got to have Cioppino, and then ~~Creme Brulee~~ Crème brûlée* for dessert
Crème brûlée doesn't taste the same without the accents.
We had nice Chinese food including braised pork belly, followed by some Christmas pudding. It was great!

A bit early for New Year's, but I wanted to try a recipe for yi mein that I think came out pretty good.
My wife made an amazing spiral cut ham with sauteed green bean and mashed taters.
Macarona bashamel (long story, but it's good and you should try it) with a dash of dictator tears.
That’s just lasagna when you don’t have the flat pasta sheets right?
But very salty
I'm wife's hometown and we're meeting her childhood friends in a few hours at an izakaya for sushi, fish, and all sorts of stuff. Please have a moment of silence for my liver this weekend.
