Kitchen Sink Cookies recipe from Simply Recipes.

[–] Sh00Fly@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

Bacon cake is a cake made with bacon, either savory or sweet, and generally baked in an oven, although it's sometimes cooked in a skillet on a range top.[1]

I’ll take two of each, please. Thank you.

Excellent choice!

Perchance adding a footnote or an amendment to the rules on the sidebar, e.g. “The Golden Rule: If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

There will always be be Debbie Downers, Negative Nellies and Angry Adams waiting to rain on someone’s parade. Having read plenty of Lemmy drama, a common complaint is that the rules are “impossible for a user to follow unless it is made clear” and “disagreeing with [mod’s name] gets you banned”.

We all know that sometimes there are negative aspects of that Uplifting News but common sense dictates that I keep that negativity to myself and gladly upvote anyway. Am I glad that Huntington’s disease is treatable? Of course! Am I going to tell Lemmy about not-so-nice things I learned from the physicians in my family? Oh no, not a chance. Why not? There’s always someone in Lemmy hoping to read about a cure for a disease that their loved one was diagnosed with. Who am I to take that hope away from them?

For the sake and sanity of both users and moderators, I agree that the rules should be made clear(er) so neither moderator nor user can feign ignorance.

For example:

“Your comment was removed for breaking Rule 1a: Spreading negativity; Rule 12c: Citation without Source(s); Rule 99x: Toxic comment irrelevant to post”

1st Offense: Comment removed and greet someone a Happy Cake Day, no time served 2nd Offense: Explain your strengths and weaknesses in two paragraphs, due in 24 hours or 7-day ban. 3rd Offense: Thesis on the Effects of Positive Thinking, due in 72 hours or 1 year ban.

Disclaimer: The moderators of Uplifting News community reserves the right to update rules, remove content and ban users.

OP, I commend you for this inclusive post and your proactive approach towards making this community better. Everyone on this thread has made insightful comments. Laws change and evolve everyday in this world that we live in, there’s no reason why the Uplifting News community can’t do the same.

Thank you.

To this day my ex still sings along “kissin’ the night away…” You made my night, OP. Thank you!

Your taste in music is as eclectic as mine. It’s nice to meet a kindred spirit.

No. 4

I’ll take two dozen of those, please. Thank you.
