I have crafted a spaghetti policy that you may find highly reasonable.
As long as they're straight, like an uncooked noodle - And you don't get floppy on them, like an overcooked noodle.
I promise a firm but fair noodle.
INB4 the first flame war about other pasta shapes!
(And just barely, too, 'cause somebody's already bucatini-posting in there.)
This would fall under the no pasta shaming rule.
What rule is that? I can't find it written anywhere.
It's rule number 6 at the bottom. It says "No Pasta-Shaming", indicating that shaming of different pastas is against the spaghetti policy.
Hmm... I could've sworn that whole block of text wasn't there when I looked at the page before.
Itβs very possible! I put it up recently when people asked for the spaghetti policy and realized I didnβt have one. It was like being in the middle of Walmart and realizing I was naked the whole time. βNot againβ¦β
It feels like a betrayal of the highest order that perogiboy is making a spaghetti comm. WHAT ABOUT YOUR BELOVED PEROGIS??
Ok, but what if instead of stuffing the pierogies with potatoes, they stuffed them with spaghetti?

This comment will haunt me for the rest of the day.
Don't lie and say you wouldn't try a pierogi shell stuffed with spaghetti.
That's why it's haunting. I would.

Perogis are considered dumplings and are exempt from pasta taxonomy.
So ravioli is a dumpling and not pasta?
Linguine is the better spaghetti. IMHO.
Which government office set this up? And why do it on a Canadian instance? Is the Canadian government claiming spaghetti now, cos that and the shitty pizzas with tropical fruit on are going to tip Italy over the edge inevitably.
Keep it spaghetti.
No pasta-shaming.
Strict but fair.
Joined. I cook. I was raised on bad spaghetti and I learned how to make it well (along with other pastas). Then I got bariatric surgery and I really can't eat traditional spaghetti anymore, but I still do from time to time. I think I'd make a valuable, or at the very least interesting addition to your community.
Can I say, in that community, that spaghetti (the pasta type) is not the best pasta type for spaghetti (the dish)? Because it isn't. And I think I could convince someone, not so much across the Internet, but if they sat at my table and ate my spaghetti (the dish). I would not expect them to swear off spaghetti (the pasta), but I would expect them to accept that other pasta shapes have their uses (and, more importantly, to think about which pasta shape to use and for what β my personal favorite being penne).
I'm surprised that spaghetti has taken off while !pasta@lemmy.world lies dormant. Would you have any interest in taking that one on as well? The current moderator is inactive.
The people need an icon to rally around. Spaghetti stood up to the plate! I would not be opposed to taking on pasta

True, I suppose that does help.

@kersploosh@lemmy.world, would you be able to transfer !pasta@lemmy.world to @PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca? The current moderator @tomcruise@lemmy.world has been inactive for two years.
Sure thing. It's done.
That looks delicious. I'm hungry now.
Oh hell yes.
A succulent spaghetti meal. This is gastronomy manifest.
A bowl of spaghetti was a subreddit celebrity in /r/waterloo about five years ago
Thatβs a very Waterloo thing.
