A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

LOL. What was that you were saying about a strawman?
You asked for a definition of sustain, I gave you a concrete example of what I would use to qualify things as providing sustenance, or indeed qualifying as food. Which is why I qualify fast food as food, you on the other hand do not, so perhaps you should define sustain instead of asking for my definition.
Nope. You shifted your goal posts and are determined to be "right" at any costs. You don't even have an actual point to make.
Good bye.
I never shifted my goals, from the beginning I'm calling you out on saying fast food is not food, you're the one who used dirt as a counter example of things that are clearly not food yet would, according to you, fit the definition of food. I'm giving you an example that clearly exemplifies why fast food sustains you, and is therefore food, but dirt doesn't. If you weren't babbling on and on trying to throw as many arguments as possible to try to evade from the simple fact that you haven't even given a food definition that doesn't include fast food you might see the point that by any meaningful definition of the word (including the one you gave) fast food is food.
