Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Right. I'm using the term "hard-boiled" synonymously with just "boiled egg"

[–] Drusas@kbin.run -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't work that way, though. And this doesn't even refer to "a boiled egg", it refers to boiling eggs.

Barring pedantry, I don't understand the difference you're inferring

[–] Drusas@kbin.run -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The wording you have used so far suggests to me that, every time you boil eggs, you hard boil them. Not everybody does that. Some people soft or medium boil their eggs and variations in between.

So boiling eggs is not the same as hard boiling eggs.

You said you didn't understand, so I explained. I didn't realize you were being disingenuous.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'm not being disingenuous. I think you're just missing the fact that sometimes people use different terms to mean different things.

Ever heard someone call a water heater a "hot water heater"?
