You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Clearly fake. Not enough donuts.

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

As an American, I want to clear this up. The doughnuts were consumed while making breakfast.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

They don't last the drive home

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What is this, a breakfast for ants? That Jesus is way too serious and the coffee needs to be at least 5 times bigger. I wasn't going to mention the lack of a shotgun, but the tiny ass knife pushed me over the edge.

Disgraceful.

[–] logi@piefed.world 18 points 2 months ago

Also, and worst of all, where is Jesus' gun?

[–] glizzyguzzler@piefed.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Clearly disinfo, where’s the thicc pancakes??

[–] hakase@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Japan. Japan has thick pancakes, Europe has thin pancakes, and the US has normal pancakes.

[–] glizzyguzzler@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can get the Murican pancakes about an inch thick if you keep the batter thicker (and/or let it sit for a few extra mins). That’s where it’s at

To get Japanese thicc pancakes you gotta work, that’s whipped egg white terroritory

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I once made a cake sized pancake using a rice cooker and regular American pancake batter.

[–] glizzyguzzler@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I must know more, any specifics you can remember?

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The trick is to steam them. Thats actually what they do in japan and is what makes them fluffy.

I actually prefer low heat oven and a small pan with high walls. But otherwise use a cake pan with a parchment paper circle in the bottom on a steamer lifter and some water in the bottom of the pressure cooker.

Now the neat part is to make favored steam cakes like matcha and chocolate chip or ube.

See the thing is, and there's nothing wrong with this, you baked a cake.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, in a pan.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There's not much more to it. Mix up your pancake batter the way you would normally, put it in the rice cooker (one of the simple ones that's just "cook" or "warm"), turn it on, then a bit later enjoy your giant pancake. I am an abysmal cook but the only problem I had with it was getting it out because I didn't grease the inside of the cooker.

I did a quick DDG search for "rice cooker pancake." There are plenty of results (it went viral on Reddit a long time ago, which is why I tried it). Here's one from Allrecipes:

[–] glizzyguzzler@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good to know on the greasing, thx

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Happy to be of service! Good luck if you try it!

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

fucking new englanders. They will replace anything with crabs or lobsters.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

and the enormous serving sizes that hurt to finish?

[–] glizzyguzzler@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

😩😩😩

[–] ollie@pawb.social 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

calling for the public execution of OP, post doesn't have rule in the title

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's too harsh, we only remove the dominant arm for 1st offense.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

Are you implying that 'murica doesn't rule?

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

My American breakfast consist of donuts, waffles, pancakes, with a bowl of lucky charms.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

i thought that was cops good, or am I wrong?

[–] CoffeeSoldier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've always wondered about the sugar cereal part. Is there a spoon adapter for your gun that you use for that?

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

The bayonet thingy, alternatively you can have a friend shoot spoon-shaped bullets into the bowl, which then rocket the milk and cereal straight into your mouth.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I got a spoon holster on my belt separate from the firearm

[–] Juice@midwest.social 14 points 2 months ago

This gets better the more I look at it, the Jesus pancakes are peak

Who won’t want a giant plate of bacon for breakfast?

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I have eaten nearly an entire pack of bacon in one sitting before and I enjoyed it during the process, but I will never do that again because it felt like grease was endlessly dripping down my throat and I couldn't shake it for like an hour or two. There was also a lot of heart burn

The OP picture gives me PTSD flashbacks

[–] bitteroldcoot@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You're supposed to put it on some paper towels and let the grease drip off. Not eat it straight out of the pan dripping in lard.

Now try it again and this time do it right.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago

I did do that! But it wasn't enough for me 😥

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that Salvatore Ganacci?

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Looks like him lol

[–] fleurc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Looks like my first girlfriend's dad's breakfast

[–] kivihiili@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

a real conversation that happened over sms with a real actual friend we know:

(us) we love cooking and baking with others!!!!

Ooo me too even if I really only know how to make really good Mac and cheese lol

(us) we would enjoy doing that sometime
there are so much ways to cook it and they are all so good

Oohhh I know, i like making my Mac and cheese really creamy

(us) another one of our favorites is pierogi
its like running a little factory

One time we [friend with his family] put like three different types of meats (bacon, ham and I forgot the third one) into the mac and cheese and it's really good

[...]

To make mine really creamy I usually add double the milk and butter, and also add sour cream lol

(us) oh like box mac and cheese? or a recipe you have

I usually use box Mac and cheese as a base and add more cheese too ofc

(us) we just usually make our own from ingredients hehe
we prefer big macaroni

I could 100% make mine from scratch but that fake artificial cheese is strangely just too good

for reference box mac and cheese is basically a bunch of tiny TINY ant size macaroni covered in starch with a packet of cheese POWDER in a box. to make:

  1. boil the macaroni
  2. remove the water
  3. mix in cheese powder alongside milk and/or butter to specification
  4. serve

it is as bland as it sounds, if not more, even with added seasoning etc. the only purpose for why manufacturers require milk/butter instead of adding milk powder themselves and just requiring for water to be added is consumers would be too suspicious otherwise. literally domesticated war rations... he is thankfully open to learning to cook other stuff with us at least, hopefully we can fix him :3

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I will not take this box Mac n cheese slander. That neon orange cheese powder was my only source of happiness growing up. /s

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

My six year old will have your back in this battle.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I’d be happy to live like that if I could have lobster tails for breakfast
