!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:
Rules (interactive)
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.

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.

thank you. i did.
You can edit titles‽ That's fantastic.
Oh, damn. An interrobang user‽‽ That's fanastic! They should be more popular.
Technically, a tamale is a calzone according to the cube rule.
I understand the cube rule, I just don't think I can really subscribe to it. Calling a bowl of lucky charms nachos is inaccurate, it's clearly a soup.
woah, this is why i have reached out to The Internet.
Didn’t know I could be more upset about this argument but this rule really takes the ~~cake~~ sandwich. Though for this specific instance, I agree it’s a calzone.
I love how "toast" includes sushi as an example but sushi doesn't
Tamales are open on one side when they're steamed. That makes them quiche by this rule.
Does this mean I can get thin crust tamales in New York, and grease death tamales in Chicago
In L.A., there's everything from grease death and masa bombs to thin crust and dry. Husk wrapped or banana leaf wrapped. Savory or sweet. We got it all.
Oh this is fantastic! Thanks for this.
Also, first kbin/post-Reddit post. Woo.
Isn’t the whole point of “toast” that it’s bread that is toasted? How can sushi, an undeniable raw food be “toast”? I’ll accept the cube rule, but toast needs a new classification.,
The rice isn’t raw, just cold.
I’ll give you that, but still, it’s certainly not toasted.
It's not necessarily about the actual toasting. It's about how ingredients are layered. So, toast and butter is the same as rice and fish. That's how a Big Mac can be a cake.
The whole cube rule is just ragebait. And it works well lol

What the...
Neither! A tamale is corn masa with typically a meat filling. You could consider it a dumpling or a pie. Noodles do not have a stuffing and sandwiches tend to have a distinct layers. I would consider a taco or maybe a gordita a sandwich, but not a tamale. Although this does make me wonder, what would a burrito be classified as? (not counting wrap because that is too easy)
A burrito is um... a form of a tamale. Actually, it's sushi
This type of food taxonomy is always fascinating and disturbing, as it tends to spawn even more unhinged classifications (ravioli is a dumpling. A bowl of cereal is a salad).
That being said, the most politically neutral take would be that tamales are a pie.
Are you saying ravioli is not a dumpling?
I am joining you in the tamales are a pie camp though.
cereal is soup and i will fight anyone on this
I'd say a tamale is a dumpling.
nixtamalized corn dumpling: this is proper and you are righteous
"Sometimes a tamale is just a tamale" - Sigmund Freud Probably
And sometimes you just really want to fuck good tamale… I mean mother.. I mean calzone!
A tamale is a pop tart, obviously
https://cuberule.com/ according to cube rule it is a calzone
That rule is all kinds of disturbing lol
Turduckens should be sushi or calzone, not salad.

closer to a pie, as pies as have filling.
noodles don't have filling
what is ravioli? And, is ravioli a dumpling?
David Chang argues that ravioli are dumplings on Ugly Delicious.
I’m inclined to agree in that dumplings and ravioli are the same general idea implemented by different culinary traditions.
I would say ravioli is not a noodle, and could be called a dumpling, yes.

I mean kinda? We need to decide how a noodle and a dumpling differ.
As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It's not stupid (that doesn't exist in this community), it's just disturbing xD
No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don't have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It's like asking if ravioli is a noodle.
As someone from the U.S. who grew up eating Mexican food in Texas, I agree. It is disturbing. The filling is very important to a tamal. They aren't bendy or thin either. Noodles are thin and bendy
i am new mexico af and i respect your carne guisada, but really. NM food kills it. Please come over to Santa Fe and check out green chile Carne Adovada. "Texas" lol
A tamale is a ravioli, confirmed.
NO.
No. The point of noodles is that they hold their form without any help when you cook them. Without their leafy containers, tamales would be more like polenta/corn meal mush--also yummy but not noodly.

Seems like a somewhat arbitrary requirement.
Not, say, if you want to make cacio e pepe. (I'm a new reddit refugee, so I haven't figured out how to respond to a comment.)
