Eh, disgusting is subjective, but there’s never only one person with a given opinion, particularly when it comes to food.

Uncooked meat can actually be delicious though, so it’s kind of a double subjective lol.

While it isn’t anything I have regularly, I tend to favor some steal cuts “blue”, which is essentially uncooked at all in the middle. Steak tartare is uncooked. Sashimi exists, and is amazing. Then there’s stuff like ceviche that’s not truly raw, but isn’t cooked with heat.

The list of raw meat foods could keep going, it’s not an uncommon thing.

Beyond that, you can’t really go by photographs for whether or not something actually matches visually. Raw meat and cured meats often do look similar in color, but not in texture. Not that color really matches, but it’s usually close enough to fool the eye depending on lighting and the film/sensor.

Again though, whether or not a pile of raw meat would be disgusting is indeed something that you’ll find plenty of people on either side of. And you’d likely find people that see this picture and think it looks raw, at least at first glance (it really doesn’t once you pay attention to the variations in color across the slices).

Migrating changes the account completely. There’s a connection between the two, if the person chooses to do it that way, but they don’t federate as the same account.

So you’d have to ban the new account as well.

I mean, (and I’m just playing here, so please don’t take it serious), I have seen porn where the results look like this. Usually gang bangs, but still.

Jokes aside, I dig the idea, though the execution would need some tweaking imo.

Like, bacos for the crunch is a great idea. Better than actual bacon crunch wise, and sometimes it’s okay to err on the side of texture.

If the cheese sauce is done right, you could be looking at a hit. Might wanna be a little neater with presentation, if you’re showing it off in a food porn community, but that’s whatever.

I’m kinda thinking you want a sharp or extra sharp cheddar for the sauce so it can hold up to the rather single note chemical taste of bacos. Going with pre-processed cheese won’t hold up, it’s too shallow a flavor, with no real way to balance off the bacos other than by dint of fattiness and its own chemicaly taste.

Might boil the dogs in beer, let them stay a little lighter in flavor and let the bitterness of the beer serve as a contrast to all the fats involved.

Not something I’d likely do for myself, bacos linger in burps way too long at my age. But it’s got potential

Interesting.

What’s the texture like? Tofu can end up a lot of different ways

Eh, I don’t personally care.

But it could lead to nastiness as lemmy expands. If enough people go to the trouble of looking it up, you get some of them being assholes because people are prone to being assholes. That leads to drama. Drama leads to nastiness and worse things sometimes.

If that’s going to be part of how lemmy works, so be it, I’m way too old to skip using a block list for assholes. But it might bite federated services in the ass, so it probably should be on the list to get implemented.

Tbh, while the split you’re proposing would be nice, I think the prevalence of various hard and soft paywalls is so high that the “free” version would be kinda useless. It isn’t like lemmy as a whole isn’t used to bypassing paywalls and/or using extensions that block popups.

I’ve had no issues with the bot as is. It’s actually a really useful bot as-is.

But, if whoever is curating the bot wants to do the extra work, it would be broly as hell of them.

The only thing that surprises me is that anyone is surprised.

I don’t intend that to be snarky, more jokey. But, yeah, it’s pretty much common knowledge. Not the first time they’ve expressed unpleasant opinions on the subject, though not quite this bluntly. There was a minor kerfluffle over it not too long after the reddit exodus.

And it isn’t unexpected tbh, that’s a pretty bog standard tankie take, if perhaps a tad more trope filled.

To me, lemmy is kinda like a less important version of the Apollo missions. You put up with someone unpleasant because they can get the job done, until things get to the point it can be done without them. German scientists, tankie devs. Yeah, yeah, von Braun wasn’t a “real” nazi; whatever.

At some point, either lemmy gets enough movement to get a less extreme team on board, it gets forked, or something else comes along.

Yeah, that post gives the answer better than anything else. I was going to chime in with a rough explanation off of memory, but the actual post is way better.

The only places there that haven’t changed are the tiny game subs, to my limited willingness to use the site. I have checked the niche subs I used to moderate, and all but one is swamped with bullshit. Even that one has changed some. The only ones of those unchanged are the ones I had set to private ages before spez threw his little hissy-fit. The ones that were public are either dead, botted, or just unchecked insanity with bad moderation. Spam everywhere.

Looks great, but how about some love for that corn over there looking all sexy and whispering sweet things until you eat it?

Ngl, I don’t like unpickled cucumber, but I’d try this anyway. With a fork handy, but a good sourdough should hold up to a sauce like that.

Point A: never, ever whine about votes. It’s lame as fuck. You take the downs and the ups and whining about the downs, or crowing about the ups is just bullshit.

PointB: I agree with the basics of what you said, but you miss a huge factor. Read on if interested.

I agree wholeheartedly that any commer product throwing vegan in front of a word for another food is bullshit. I even agree that the path to good vegan foods is abandoning the idea that meat needs replacing when there’s entire cuisines that offer amazing food built around non meat, non animal sources.

It is also important to note that not only am I not vegan, I troll vegans occasionally by calling them religious zealots (because the ones that you run into are lol. The nice ones just live their lives and don’t bother anyone.)

However, unless a person is raised without exposure to meat based foods, the truth is that meat is yummy, and a lot of foods that we take for granted and love are either meat based, or contain animal products.

This means that new vegans are trying to figure out how to change their entire life, and need help getting there. And, even as they learn more about plant based diets, they’ll be having people they love that still eat meat, and substitutes become a form of good manners. Having substitutes isn’t a bad thing. Again, I make fun of the jerk vegans, but being able to choose what kind of ingredients go into what I’m eating is a huge plus.

But how is anyone supposed to run searches for recipes without the word vegan being involved? “Non animal product sausages” is going to bring back wildly different hits than “vegan hotdogs”.

The vegans I know (and cook vegan food for) did eventually transition away from a reliance on “replacement” dishes. But it’s a process and it’s one that means they’ll miss some of their old favorites unless they do make these kind of things.

Point C: dude, don’t rub your pet peeves on other people. It’s rude.

It’s one of those things where on paper, it’s supposed to be as stringent as medical settings, but in reality it amounts to exactly what you said: they aren’t washing their hands.

But, truth be told, there’s some places where people don’t change gloves between food stations, which is even worse than just switching gloves without washing. It all comes down to who is running the kitchen. A good manager/chef is on top of things, and the methed out, sleep deprived, half drunk crew are following procedure well. Otherwise, things fall through the cracks a lot because there’s a degree of similarity between a kitchen during a rush and an ER on a busy night, without the extra training and entrenchment of germ theory to help the kitchen staff stay mindful.

I’ve done both, though I avoided any hospital work as much as I could, and also avoided any kitchen work I couldn’t walk away from at a whim. It’s honestly easier to remember to keep things right in an ER because the work flow is built around it more. Even with having done grunt level medical stuff, I would be more likely to not hand wash in a kitchen and just swap gloves because most kitchens aren’t set up where you can do it without breaking your flow. Dedicated hand washing stations/sinks just don’t exist. You have to walk away from the work to wash.

Now, even in bad kitchens, you’ll be washing your hands throughout a shift, it just won’t be between stations/jobs. It won’t be every ten minutes like in a facility of one type or another lol.

But holy crap, do I get queasy watching someone eat with gloves on. I know damn good and well those gloves are nasty as hell. No way.

The fuck are you smoking? This is in the wrong community, and I think you know that

Well, I guess if you go at it immediately, that would be a problem.

I just figured out would be like most “portable” food where it gets cooked in batches and kept warm. This would let carryover cooking bring the inner parts up to the desired temp range, while the more exterior parts would be cooling to a comfortable range by the process.

It’s kinda like with some fast food; having it sit is calculated into the end product so that it doesn’t dry out or over cook in the expected serve time. With the sausages being precooked, it’s a matter of getting them to a pleasing range rather than reaching a specific safe temp like it would be for other sausages.

But, yeah, I see what you mean. If it’s fried on demand, the pickle juices would be brutal.

Don’t underestimate warm/hot pickles.

The sausage potentially being cold/cool is offputting, but not a total dealbreaker. But heated pickles are yummy. Think about them fried, or on burgers. The taste of them becomes more complex and interesting. I can see this being a damn nice combination of flavors, even if the interior isn’t as consistent as could be ideal.

And there’s no guarantee it won’t cook evenly.

Damn, I never thought my dick would get hard on foodporn, but this one did it

Ahhh, that makes sense

I still haven’t run into problems on mastodon. Maybe I’m not using it right lol.

But I’ve not run into any jerks frequently enough to notice. The feed is easy to curate, so I don’t have to deal with political shit since I just don’t scroll through the “all” equivalent feed unless I’m really bored. Even then, I’ve seen less toxicity the entire time I’ve been on mastodon (a couple of years, irc?) than I would in a week of Twitter or a single day on reddit.

I’m sure it’s there, don’t get me wrong. I’m just thinking it’s an exaggerated perception based on how people use it rather than being indicative of the user base as a whole. Shit, on my author account, the whole writing and book community is wholesome as fuck. Supportive, friendly, helpful. It’s fucking awesome.
