    Lemmings do not engage in mass suicidal dives off cliffs when migrating. It is the constant barrage of politics on the fediverse that cause them to jump.

    I knew it!

    And here’s the problem with Wikipedia - while technically darker roasted coffee doesn’t have more caffeine by volume than lighter roasts…technically the way coffee is brewed properly is by weight, and darker grounds are often used for things like espresso, which requires a much finer grind. So the same volume of dark grounds will technically have more coffee grounds than a lighter roast used for drip or pour-over.

    Lots of detail is obfuscated when things are summarized. Sometimes those details matter.

    Also, it seems a lot if this doesn’t address the facetious or hyperbolic angle of these statements (though several do).

    Again, sometimes this change in level (or direction) of focus fundamentally changes what something means.

      I brew coffee with dark roasted beans. I measure the beans by volume before grinding. Been doing that for decades. I guess I’m just making coffee improperly

      I like how everyone else is saying, “Oh sweet! Look at this thing I just learned today!”

      And then this guy is over here with “Well aktually espresso is totally different from drip coffee and so this totally unrelated thing Wikipedia was saying is all wrong I’m so smart.”

      I think Lemmy needs some kind of daily “smart person contest” to draw off the energy that otherwise gets spent on trying to find someone to prove wrong in the comments at the expense of everything else. Lord knows, I need one of those too.

    I was interested in the source for 38 here:

    Using mild soap on well-seasoned cast-iron cookware will not damage the seasoning.[37] This is not because modern soaps are gentler than older soaps.[38]

    It was just an article that said

    Many sources explain that soap is OK because today’s dish soap (like our favorite from Mrs. Meyer’s) is gentler than it used to be. That may be true, but it’s not really the point. Once your pan is well seasoned, a little dish soap isn’t going to make a difference.

    Pretty sad excuse for a source. Not even sure what that’s supposed to mean. Why is that not the point?

    AFAIK the issue was soap used to contain lye which would destroy the seasoning. That’s a huge difference from modern soap.

      Lye (or another similar alkali) and fat (or another similar lipid) are the ingredients in the making of soap. Those ingredients when combined chemically react. The product of that reaction is soap. There is no lye in soap- if there were it would burn your skin.

      I suspect that the article is referring to detergent, which is not soap.
