!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:
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.

Bringing a big photo of soybean oil and whole eggs to your feed
Not IME. Lots of stuff can last weeks or months on the counter, no problem.
Another one would be honey. It's essentially viscous enough such that no bacteria, mold or fungi have a chance to grow on it. Another one would be Jamaican jerk seasoning in the bottle. It's so low-moisture and salty that it doesn't need refrigeration, except perhaps in very hot months.
Now if you're talking fresh-made mayo from scratch? Yeah, I'd get that in the fridge, stat.
Honey doesn't, and shouldn't, be refrigerated. That's different from eggs because both the yolk and white spoil at room temperature. That's why acid is always added to emulsion. That won't stop the combo of Oil+Protein hosting a number of things if they aren't pasteurized.
I would 1000000% never leave homemade mayo out at room temp.
Honey is different, because it basically never spoils. There have been jars of honey found at archeologist dig sites that were hundreds of years old (or more) that are still perfectly edible.
Honey can't spoil. The ridiculous amount of sugar sucks the water out of anything trying to grow. Can't evolve your way out of "zero water". :)
Yep. Weird what people think needs refrigeration. I have hot sauces that are years old, too acidic to host bacteria or fungi.
Honey's a little different. Too much sugar for osmosis, chokes bacteria to death by sucking the H2O out.
While we're at it, my wife usually leaves dinner covered on the table. Still good to go 24 hours later. I do draw the line at seafood out all night. :)
