Me using my scratched teflon pans.
That's every "non-stick" pan after 1-2 months of daily use.
All non-stick, "scratch resistant" pans are a marketing gimmick designed to have the average consumer-moron buy 30 pans in their lifetime, than simply learn how to season pans properly and hand 2 or 3 Iron/steel pans down their family lineage for generations, across hundreds of years.
Ceramic ones are a bit better but for the most part this is correct. There really isn't a clear reason not to cook with steel or iron, they tend to be the best options for 99.9% of applications. Only thing that I can think of is cooking eggs at a lower temp, but iron does that fine if the seasoning is really good.
My scanpan has been in use for at least 6 years unscratched
I don't even know what my pans are.
pfas!
😏 be like me and use a cast iron skillet that weighs a ton, never is slick like you see on the internet, and is a removed (really Lemmy? Auto censor?? FFS) to clean
In all seriousness, I just made scrambled eggs on the ol' beast and they turned out decent. Far from non stick but it's non cancer at least.

That's your instance, ml is a turd like that.
I have no clue how Lemmy works. I made an account and just assumed that was that.
Each 'instance' has slightly different rules that apply. Mostly it doesn't affect users, as you can interact with other instances just fine.
Lemmy.ml censors a number of common curses and is run by Uyghur genocide deniers.
Well that's unfortunate. What are more ideal instances of Lemmy? Thanks for the explanation, by the way.
I'm on sh.itjust.works and haven't heard of any issues with it, it's been working pretty well.
Lemmy.world is currently the most popular large instance, Lemmy.today is another one. There are A LOT of instances to pick from if you'd rather connect to one closer to your region or attuned to your personal tastes, and they can all access posts from other instances so if you think an instance is run by people you can trust then feel free to make an account there.
To add onto Pug Jesus' explanation, each instance is a self-hosted server separate from all the others. That means they can potentially be removed or re-added to the fediverse at any moment, they all follow their own rules so the only fediverse-wide restrictions are that the instance isn't so insufferable that every other instance blocks them or defederates from them.
EDIT: A list of known servers HERE
You know anyone can just go to Xinjiang, there's no travel restrictions. Every Muslim country, including some of America's puppets sent delegations which concluded that there was no genocide.
A decade ago, they were telling us that millions of Uyghurs were being sent to death camps or forced sterilized or w/e. Today we've not seen any massive demographic change. To me that says I was lied to by western media the same way I was lied to about literally every other enemy of the US. Is there any kind of evidence or just time period passing that would make you reevaluate whether you've been lied to?
Is this a joke? What country is providing materiel and political support for an actual genocide as we speak?
It’s strange how almost no predominantly-Muslim country has signed up for these supposed Uyghur human rights violations. It’s largely the imperial core countries that have. Is it because Muslims don’t value human life, or is it because it’s largely bullshit?

Reason: Genocide denialWe do indeed deny this US psyop bullshit. The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing terrorist cells in Xinjiang, and once those efforts failed, it concocted and promoted a genocide narrative. Antony Blinken is still pushing this slop.

We see here for example the evolution of public opinion in regards to China. In 2019, the ‘Uyghur genocide’ was broken by the media (Buzzfeed, of all outlets). In this story, we saw the machine I described up until now move in real time. Suddenly, newspapers, TV, websites were all flooded with stories about the ‘genocide’, all day, every day. People whom we’d never heard of before were brought in as experts — Adrian Zenz, to name just one; a man who does not even speak a word of Chinese.
Organizations were suddenly becoming very active and important. The World Uyghur Congress, a very serious-sounding NGO, is actually an NED Front operating out of Germany […]. From their official website, they declare themselves to be the sole legitimate representative of all Uyghurs — presumably not having asked Uyghurs in Xinjiang what they thought about that.
The WUC also has ties to the Grey Wolves, a fascist paramilitary group in Turkey, through the father of their founder, Isa Yusuf Alptekin.
Documents came out from NGOs to further legitimize the media reporting. This is how a report from the very professional-sounding China Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) came to exist. They claimed ‘up to 1.3 million’ Uyghurs were imprisoned in camps. What they didn’t say was how they got this number: they interviewed a total of 10 people from rural Xinjiang and asked them to estimate how many people might have been taken away. They then extrapolated the guesstimates they got and arrived at the 1.3 million figure.
Sanctions were enacted against China — Xinjiang cotton for example had trouble finding buyers after Western companies were pressured into boycotting it. Instead of helping fight against the purported genocide, this act actually made life more difficult for the people of Xinjiang who depend on this trade for their livelihood (as we all do depend on our skills to make a livelihood).
Any attempt China made to defend itself was met with more suspicion. They invited a UN delegation which was blocked by the US. The delegation eventually made it there, but three years later. The Arab League also visited Xinjiang and actually commended China on their policies — aimed at reducing terrorism through education and social integration, not through bombing like we tend to do in the West.
The population control nonsense is especially silly when even NATOpedia says otherwise. As part of China’s affirmative action policies, the Uyghurs and other ethic minorities were excepted from the One-Child policy, and in Xinjiang they have grown in numbers relative to Hans as a result, and this happened similarly with other ethnic minorities.
I believe the ML there stands for Marxist Leninist (one of the flavors of communism)
removed
We don’t auto-censor, aside from a few slurs that get automatically converted to “removed”. We’ve yet to run any moderation bots at all.
Instances to avoid if you dislike censorship or state run propoganda:
Lemmy ml
Slrpnk net
Hexbear
Lemmygrad
Beehaw (not state run, but very "family friendly" strictness)
P.S. I've tested like 58 wizard swears over on 196 bahaj and they only censor Faggot, which is on brand.
Evidently your current instance censors that last word too.
Nuh uh, shows up fine for me
Oh, huh. I didn't realize .world did that on anything.
