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.

we hate

"We" don't. I fucking love it. If I could drink significantly more without disrupting sleep, I would.

Your body adapts to bitterness. But most importantly, there's a difference between buying good coffee, grinding and preparing it how you like it, versus buying 8 month old burnt pieces of leaves and some coffee from Walmart and shoving sugar with vegetable oil on top.

It doesn't even need to be expensive or special coffee - just give slightly more mental effort to a drink you consume everyday.

"Creamers" 🀒

Your body adapts to bitterness. But most importantly, there’s a difference between buying good coffee, grinding and preparing it how you like it, versus buying 8 month old burnt pieces of leaves and some coffee from Walmart and shoving sugar with vegetable oil on top.

Less than a year ago I drank tea exclusively.

I started with ground Dunkin' Donuts Original because that's what my wife drank. I didn't like it, but if I added Torani syrup to it, it was actually pretty good. It became my morning coffee.

Then, still with ground coffee, my wife said she liked Krispy Kreme coffee better but they don't sell it in stores. I found it on Amazon and it was indeed better.

Then, I was like, "Well...we have a grinder...let's use it." So, I bought Dunkin' Donuts Original whole bean at the store. It tasted significantly better than Krispy Kreme! Even my wife agreed. I could tell grinding the beans at home was a game changer.

Then I went to Hawaii. For a week straight, I drank pretty crappy coffee with a bit of cream. It gave me that bitter flavor that I'd come to love, but it wasn't satisfying in the way that I knew coffee could be. I guess was preparing myself for heaven by going through hell? Idk. But we found a coffee in Kona that is so good I can make a whole pot and drink it black. When I first tasted it at home, I understood in my bones why people enjoy a morning cup of coffee.

So yeah, huge difference between buying good coffee and preparing it how you like it versus that other crap.

I found an independent coffee shop that roasts beans in small batches there in the store. Even if all you’re gonna do is drip, that alone is enough.

But pour over hits the balance between amazing and convenient

Amusingly, their cappuccinos cost less than at Starbucks…

I hate the taste of coffee so I don't drink it. Why are you drinking something you don't like?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I eat guacamole and avocados every now and then even though I don't like either. I think it's important to repeatedly try things that I otherwise don't like. It's how I've come to love blue cheese and coffee.

I don't know, boost energy? Though woth that logic, it's a lie since I don't feel anything after.

If you just want the caffeine you could just take a pill.

The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.

[–] Sami 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I happily drink instant coffee. I even prefer it to something like Starbucks coffee.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It seems taste buds vary a lot too. πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

my mom only drank instant coffee while i grew up and hated drip coffee. i had some of her coffee here and there wondering what the taste was like, and really hated it until the first time I had some drip coffee. still drink it to this day and cannot stand instant.

Who's this "we?"

I love the taste of coffee. That's why I drink it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Who is we ?

I agree, there is tons of badly made coffee like the automatic vending machinc, or the Americanfast food burning hot coffee served in half a litre buckets.

But a decent blend done with an expresso machine or at least a moka machinc would be delicious

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We don't hate the taste always.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I thought you meant the taste of roasted beans. Turns out you actually meant coffee. I don't understand why you drink something you hate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like a good coffee, can taste wonderfully.

However, a bad coffee is just pure liquid shit.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best taste you get out of that is the equivalent of liquid cardboard with tons of sugar.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

drop me a message if you around Budapest and I show you some good coffee ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My coffee also tastes fine. I probably drink as much as Captain Janeway does.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like the taste of coffee a lot, I also really don't like the caffeine high so I order decaf more often than not. Some people don't like the taste; they drink it for the caffeine high, although most of them end up getting white chocolate mochas or frappuccinos is something

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Probably because of cum.
