Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very “off topic”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

### Moderator Guidelines * Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral. * Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username. * When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM. * Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users. * Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling. * Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal. * Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated. * Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do. * Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback. * Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay. * Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course. * Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply. * First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary. * Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”. * No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.). * Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback. * Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

finger food. DAY 59 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on purple atmospheric background. title says "Difficulty: Can be changed later". below are six options with colors ranging from baby-blue to strong pink. the difficulty options are: "Baby formula: awawawa", "soft puree: open wide!", "chunky puree: this is nice", "finger food: mmmh tasty", "challenging: (chews a lot on a stake)" and finally "spicy noodles: where's milk?". currently the "finger food" option is highlighted with a stylish triangle, showcasing a banana. below it says "Continue with Finger Food?" with the two button options "No" and "Abolsutely". bottom right says "by maria on lemmy"

mmmh tasty.

the post is inspired by some baby food charts. certain charts called regular food “challenging” which i thought sounded like a difficulty mode.

i’m somewhat proud of how this looks. been playing some splatoon raiders which has really good UI. it’s fast to understand and use. wonderful.

it also has these “spicy” and “extra spicy” versions of levels where the enemies are literally displayed as having more salt on them. very funny. would have liked to see some other spices as well but oh well that’s hoping for too much i guess.

which one would you pick?

i wish you a wonderful day in which you get to pick the difficulty.

I feel like this could almost double as a dysphagia public announcement in another thread.

I also gotta salute your consistency with bringing OC here every day.

maria ~@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 hours ago

oh I’m not consistent >v< am still two posts behind. will try making those today.

also haha yea true it really could have had a very different meaning. havent heard of dysphagia yet, u never stop learning i guess.

I usually go with slightly difficult food that needs chopping, biting, picking, and spitting. Bone-in fish and chicken. Whole mango. Whole vegetables. Wash the dirt off before eating type stuff.

your health takes twice as long to replenish and more monsters have spices on them, causing an enflamed debuff on contact.

it’s quite low res but I like the color scheme. I do not like the meat overlapping the bananya selection hehe. Also I think the margins between the items are a bit too low so it stands to reason if I were to select something else, it would look weird. Sorry for sounding so negative I swear I like this image ><

Honestly this reminds me of how I had to rehabilitate to food recently and it’s quite accurate to what I had to go through.

maria ~@lemmy.blahaj.zone a day ago

I agree on everything actually. Thing is, I just.,. started off at a Reduktion of 400x600 and… didnt wanna expand it. You may notice: the two–pixel size difficulty names are already squeezes together. sooo ye if this were actual game UI, there would be much more spacing and stuff >v<

thanks for the feedback.

Spicy noodles, no question 👌

Ephera@lemmy.ml a day ago

Yesterday, I made hokkaido pumpkin with chickpeas, rice noodles and a spicy sauce. I forgot again that my new sriracha sauce is like twice as spicy, and I decided while cooking that I had to add some curry paste as well.

So, my mouth was most definitely on fire.

But also, I still have half left for today’s lunch. Can’t wait. 🙃

Remy Rose@piefed.social 18 hours ago

A mixed blessing for sure lol, still sounds tasty though!
