No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

They tend to fall apart. Takes a bit, and don't ask me to explain the chemistry, but that's what happened when I decided to try it.
I also did the thing with soaking eggs in cola and a few other internet "experiments".
The end result was about a dozen wasted eggs, with none of them being at all palatable, but none that would make you sick. The least bad one was the cola "pickling". Tasted just like a sweet pickled egg, without the vinegar to balance out the sweetness. It was also kinda gross looking, but didn't match the extreme visual changes from the 5 minute whatever video.
This was back before covid a year or two, but it was in response to something posted on reddit, and I decided to see what the various videos about soaking in various things would turn out. I remember the cola thing, booze (I did one in vodka, another in red wine), vanilla flavoring, and two others that were along the same lines, but I can't remember because it's been too long lol. I think the one was in cinnamon oil? Anyway, point being that you can't trust any of those shitty little gifs about food
The wine eggs were edible at the end of two weeks, but were unpleasant. The outer few millimeters were dyed, and the yolk starting to get funky. The vodka one was just falling apart when I pulled it from the jar. I can't say 100% that it wasn't something wrong with the eggs themselves, like a crack or whatever that I didn't find when examining them before jarring. But I didn't find anything like that, so that's whatever.
I've done similar things over the years. You know the cured yolks? You take the yolks, separate them, settle them in dish filled with salt and sugar, cover them over and let them cure for a few weeks. Then you bake them all the way dry. They're supposed to be some kind of super umami thing. Totally not worth the effort. Tastes like hard boiled egg yolks. Not even as strong as shredded parm.
About the only thing you can soak hard boiled eggs in and it not be a waste is a pickling solution. There's plenty variations of those out there, but none of them are single ingredient.
I wonder if this isn't caused by the egg white drying out and becoming smaller, after denaturation forced it to settle. Was the yolk intact?
Nah, the yolk was mostly mush.
Then it was something else.
This is weird to be honest. Alcohol denatures proteins and absorbs water from organic material, so I'd expect the egg white to be firmer. I wonder if there's some process that I'm overlooking here?
Couldn't tell you. I don't have enough knowledge about the interaction between the protein and alcohol to even guess
I consider this a peer review of the internet. Thank you for your service.
