YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



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.

Posts and comments 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 non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer 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.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

I mean you can, but your cake won't rise. You should go review a quiche recipe online with "no stars. Made exactly according to directions except substituted 65g of blood for each egg. Terrible recipe, was awful "

Scrambled Blood sounds interesting.

[–] ytsedude@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

I'm good, thanks... ((Nervous laughter))

[–] Onionguy@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Honey, what's wrong? You barely touched your bloodpancakes..

[–] RouxBru@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not that weird. Take black pudding for example

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but black pudding is weird.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

okay then, take morcilla sausage

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Mmmmm deviled blood.

Hope you got to the hospital. That looks like a nasty stroke.

[–] dukethorion@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Well that's one way to boost your iron intake.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Now that would make some seriously odd cakes and cookies...

What risks or other concerns come with eating blood instead of eggs?

Besides sourcing, I guess.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 5 months ago

Too much iron in your diet isn't great.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

The main risk is that you might like it.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Blood is delicious! I cook with it everyday. Adds great flavor to ground beef

Now that Nazis are back, the term 'grammar Nazi' probably needs to retire. How do y'all feel about "Alphabet Al-Qaeda"?

Okay, but I won't. I'll eat crickets and mealworms first.

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Substitute for what, protein?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Milk is just filtered blood. And eggs are just chicken periods...

[–] piconaut@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

Very insightful. On an unrelated note, I'm off to the store to get some vegetables.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Elaborate on “milk is just filtered blood”, because the breast is not a kidney. This doesn’t jive with what I’ve learned about physiology. Lactocytes synthesize milk proteins such as lactalbumin and casein, they aren’t filtered out of the bloodstream.

I’d argue eggs aren’t chicken periods either, it’s not their endometrial lining.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Being no expert in the field at all, I'll post links that seem to contradict each other. In some circles, people seem to agree that basically all bodily fluids are either blood or a filtered derivative of blood. Others say this is not the case...

And those that say eggs are chicken periods aren't quite correct, but it definitely relates to their reproductive cycle...

Eggs. I thought about changing the title to "You can substitute Eggs with blood" but that also sounded awkward.

Then I realized I'm what's awkward.

Or instead there are also some good vegan eggs out there to give a try

If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there's stuff you can by like Just Egg

For baking there's a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking
