No Stupid Questions
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.

I've heard of some bakery somewhere doing "recycled bread", where they supposedly take the leftover bread that didn't sell that day, dry it out, grind it up, and mix it with fresh flour to make new bread, but I don't know for sure if the story is real.
If a real thing in Mexican bakeries. They'll take all the stale pan dulce, waiting till they become very dry, and grind them into a flour, or fine chunks depending on the bakery, and mix them in with fresh dough to create a cinnamon flavor pastry called a "piedra", or rock in English. They have the texture of a scone. They're pretty good. my dad loves them.
TIL
It's common in Germany
Its a real thing, there's a term for it if i can find it.
Edit; Pate Fermentee, or "old dough", setting aside a hunk of dough from todays batch to mix into tomorrows for extra flavor
Theres also a method called a "soaker", using stale bread in water, breaking it down, and remixing it into a new dough
That's somewhat different. They aren't taking stale bread and reusing it to make new bread, but rather a portion of the raw dough from a previous batch is saved and added to fresh dough. It's meant to add a bit of fermented flavor, without quite being a sourdough. It's more in line with preferments like poolish and biga.
