Like where can i start if im not good at cooking? how do i decide what i want to attempt to make aswell? i dont want to spend to much to begin but is there also a low cost way to start by chance?
Im keeping this brief but if you have a question for me leave a comment?
They peel so much easier when you drop them in boiling water, then straight into an ice bath. Nice job! It’s crazy what 1 minute can do to some foods.
As frustrating as it may be, my best recommendation is to borrow basic cookbooks from reputable authors from a public’s library or online library.
Here’s one that we have that has recipes that work:

You will need to build some techniques and learn to measure and to follow recipes to start.
This means learning to decode what recipes are telling you and replicate what they say. It means not making substitutions until you can predict what the outcomes will be.
It also means to be willing to do repetitive and tedious tasks.
In the past, we learned this from family, helping and picking up basic skills.
Now it’s harder. In theory, cooking videos could and should help but when the emphasis of cooking videos is to perform and get views, it’s not so successful as it could be.
Start with some simple recipes with not too many ingredients and not elaborate ones with complex techniques.

Or short stories
Or sometimes I work on my memoir (which I constantly find myself procrastinating on lol) and try to paint the scene with words… and like just writing and proofreading really takes me back though the “memory-time-machine” and I feel that moment, remember the happiness of that moment.
That’s fun!
Rewriting a paper over and over is usually how I work out all my weird parts.
I use github pages for my blog and its whole point is tracking version changes. So now I’m deeply curious about what that would look like with an ever changing singular blog post. The intellectual journey wed see watching an author refine a single idea seems very interesting.
I’d genuinely read it every update that sounds like the kinda woke intellectualism I’m all about!
A paper-crafting how-to book (think of the type of thing you probably would’ve seen on the shelves at a Book Fair for an example of that) would be by far one of the simplest things you could do, and as some authors like Richard Scarry used to show, you could depict that using anthro animals of some description too.
Im right now using lemmy/piefed but what other neat projects should i look into as a newcomer to this world?
Im not looking for anything in particular, i just want to expand what i use and see more projects.
BookWyrm, reading tracker and review sharing
I don’t know if it’s wrong and how much, but I’ve seen it likened to Imgur more than YouTube: a place from which you link your videos in other parts of the recovered, rather than a platform to browse videos fed by the algorithm. Sorry if I’m mistaken.
As for spell checking, Microsoft Word, at least when it was more akin to a product, was pretty good at that. There’s also LLMs if you don’t have a problem with them, though I strongly suggest asking multiple ones just in case the one you ask decides to have a fever dream.
As for why wanting to make something, reminds me of the Ancient Greeks, which afaik thought immortality came from being remembered. Dunno if it’d be your case, but I find it an interesting line of thought.
Starbound might be a good call for modding. Minecraft uses Java while Starbound uses LUA, and from my experience, LUA is far more human-readable, which could help mitigate @grumpy404@piefed.zip’s dyslexia-related issues.
As for cooking, it could also be worth videos of the process or other pertinent elements, as well as blog posts.
or just play around with random notes to see what sounds good
