Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I don't think the people downvoting know that there's really people out here putting American craft singles slices on their spaghetti. I should know, I'm related to a couple of them. Seen it a good chunk of my life, almost always in poorer homes, from the southern US and a few times here in the midwest.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

The exception, not the rule.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I’ve never seen that. American cheese is for bologna sandwiches or for melting in burgers

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

My aunt in the US makes lasagna with Velveeta

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

It's all fucking confusing.

I am talking admit cheese made in the USA, kraft singles aren't even legally allowed to be called cheese

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I buy imported Parmesan cut straight from the block for pasta, and savor it in each dish as it is expensive. Excuse yourself.

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

Same, but the popular thing is some American dried mass produced milk prouduct.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

They don't though, unless you count mac & cheese

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's not talking about "American Cheese," he's talking about e.g. Kraft grated (fake) "parmesan" cheese made in America.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, we definitely do that lol

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Nothing wrong with it, if you're just making something basic. Not everything needs to be cuisine.

But putting Kraft singles on pasta is a crime.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You don't. You can literally find them making dinner on TikTok.

[–] Havoc8154@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just like all the thousands of people eating tide pods? Or maybe it's just rage bait...

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Is it really that hard to stomach the idea of melting American cheese on pasta?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I can't. I don't have TikTok, literally or figuratively.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

you mean Americans don't grate cheese on their Bolognese?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Oh I thought you meant "American cheese" a la Velveeta. Yeah, we definitely put shitty grated fake Parm on stuff. It's an acquired taste/texture lol. I don't recommend trying to grate Velveeta.
