World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So you are worried about soap affecting the seaosning on your cast iron, but are fine with stainless steel utensils stripping it all off? You wouldn't wash your plates and dishes with just hot water and some light scrubbing, so don't wash your pans that way. Modern dish soap wont do anything to harm your pans and even extend the longevity since they take off leftover food particles that house all sorts of microbes.
No I'm not worried. Stripping or weakening patina is a thing that should be avoided but occasionally happens. Taking care of the patina is a matter of convenience, comparable to cleaning your plates before they're crusty: Both situations can be fixed, by re-seasoning and heavy scrubbing respectively.
First off yes I do if there's no grease to get off, secondly plates and dishes don't get heat-sterilised on every use.
Dish soap is good against fat, it allows it to enter emulsion with water. It does nothing to starches which are already perfectly soluble in water, and preciously little to proteins which tend to have quite good solubility in water.
Not using soap has two principal reasons: a) it's unnecessary, boiling water already takes everything off but the grease and b) I'm going to add some oil afterwards anyway why take off all the grease? If I'm just a bit lucky I don't need that extra drop of oil at all what stays on the pan is sufficient.
Oh no! Do you have allergies? Other kinds of autoimmune disorders? I don't. You can bet your ass that I scrub everything that has touched raw meat thoroughly (short of the pan that gets sterilised by frying), but don't expect me to use soap on a plate with breadcrumbs and a spot of jam on it.
Microbes dont just make you sick by infections. They produce plenty of nasty toxins,most famously botulism, that make you ill, and only incineration is hot enough to make them safe. There is no extra effort to wash your plates and dishes with a little soap, and plenty of downsides not to.
Most famously clostridium botulinum is an anaerobic bacterium: It can't live in the presence of oxygen (though the spores are ludicrously hardy, yes). You should be more worried about your bottles of oil than your plates. Especially if you put chilli or basil or garlic or such in that oil, that's when you actually need to worry: Anerobic environment, food for the bacterium, also, source for the bacterium (if you're unlucky). That's why one shouldn't keep pesto Genoese around for too long, eat it before c. botulinum had time to produce non-negligible amounts of toxin, whether it happens to be in your pesto or not.
Don't pretend like you know what you're talking about that's some true-crime level of bug paranoia you have there.
