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.

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.

yeah but I know my diet is shit and I'm definitely not going to eat those things daily, so I think a multivitamin helps me at that point lol
You definitely can’t eat a single egg daily? It takes 5 minutes maybe to cook and eat a single egg, unless you have an allergy to eggs it’s pretty hard to say you can’t do it
Just wanna scoot in here and mention that yes, it can be very difficult for some people to do very mundane tasks, such as cooking an egg. Trust me, I know how depression fucks with your system and it indeed sometimes makes you incapable of spending five minutes on boiling an egg :(
You don’t have to boil it and wait for that, put a pan over heat and crack an egg into it. If depression stops you from doing that then your depression will starve you
Yes, depression can starve you. When I was depressed I couldn't keep pans clean, never mind crack an egg and stand by the stove whilst it cooked.
People who haven't been through it don't seem to understand it. When my depression was really bad I lost 60 lbs in a few months and couldn't gain any back for 2 years. Even grabbing a premade salad out of the fridge or putting a microwave meal in the microwave was too much work.
Yeah it's maybe hard to imagine what it feels like if you don't know. I couldn't brush my hair for weeks at a time, it was so much effort.
As a side note, it feels weird to reflect on that time now, like looking at a different person. If anyone suffering with depression is reading this now, just know that it can pass.
You can hard boil a bunch of eggs at once, then keep them in the fridge for a daily pick me up
Yea it takes maybe half an hour to do a half dozen hard boiled eggs on your day off.
Considering I don't like eggs, no I can't. Eggs are gross. I continue to take a prenatal vitamin because something about it prevents my headaches. My doctor theorized it's the calcium and magnesium, but taking those separately doesn't help. Maybe it's the dosage in the prenatal or something else in deficienct in, but it really helps me.
An egg a day instead of a multi-vitamin? And then you get high cholesterol.
You’re not going to have a cholesterol problem from a single egg per day, the rest of your diet being shite will cause that
I'd be lying if I said I put that much effort in daily
My dude you heat a pan and crack an egg, it’s the easiest way to feed yourself there is. Even getting fast food is more effort unless you doordash every single meal, I fear for your wallet if so
