  I don’t know if this is common, but in my family Legos are a common gift for children, and they never get thrown away. When kids age out (usually because they move out or go to uni) the bricks get tossed in a big mixed bag and handed down to the next round of youngsters. After at least 3 generations of this, the kids now inherit literal full sized trash barrels of mixed Lego. It’s awesome!

  This is how you cook with stainless. Get a high smoke point oil, get the pan and oil plenty hot, the put the food in.

  This is not, strictly speaking, true for eggs.

  I’ve cooked eggs in stainless nearly every day for the last couple of decades. I can crack a few eggs in a properly prepared cold pan, and still get non stick effects, such that the food will slide right out without using a tool.

  The level of heat which would require a high smoke point oil is generally much too high for cooking most styles of eggs anyway.

  People should use whatever method works for them, I’m not judging, but high heat is not required for most styles of eggs.

  Thank you, I’m one of these people, as are most of the folks I know. I’ll eat maybe a couple of teaspoons of honey per year, tops. And I cook 3 meals a day at home, from scratch, every day.

  Honey is great, I love bees, but I don’t actually eat much honey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All you have to do is look at what happened to the conservative community. There was a post asking whether it was meant for trolling conservatives or for actual discussion, and the resounding answer was that no conversation was possible with conservatives or anyone who holds right of center views.

  There were a few lemmings who posted in support of allowing conservatives to have a place to chime in, and they were downvoted into oblivion.

  That’s being bullied off of Lemmy, which is fine, communities are self organized and managed, and chasing away wrongthink is apparently what the vast majority of this platform wants.

  Again, all of that is fine, but we shouldn’t pretend chasing those people off wasn’t the intended outcome, or that this isn’t an echo chamber.

  I agree, but most Lemmings seem to be completely intolerant of right of center views. I’ve never seen any content in that community that’s right of center without being downvoted into oblivion.

  If Lemmings just don’t want other views here, that’s fine, it just kind of sucks when all I get is an echo chamber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree. Try making a sauce which requires high heat, then very low heat. Turning the electric burner down doesn’t immediately reduce heat, it cools off relatively slowly. I guess you could switch to another burner that was preheated to a low temp, assuming you have a free burner while cooking.

  I’ve worked for years in several professional kitchens and cook 3 meals a day, 7 days a week from scratch at home. I know how to use the tools in a kitchen, and non-induction electric burners are absolute garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I absolutely agree. I’m happy to switch to a new technology as long as it performa at least as well as my current implementation.

  I have a few cast iron and carbon steel pans, but most of my cooking vessels are thick copper (not copper inserts, full 3mm or more copper). Copper pans are superior to any other material (unless you prioritize cost) and are sadly incompatible with induction.

  Don’t even talk to me about electric element (non induction) stoves, they’re garbage for heat control.

  Just pointing out the person you replied to said CO which is carbon monoxide, not CO2

  The lack of formatting in their comment was confusing.

  That said, you’re right that CO (or CO2) aren’t the only harmful outputs of combustion.
