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.

When in frozen food "salt loses flavour, and causes fat to go rancid more quickly". - source: my grandmother So depending on the food you put into the freezer much of its taste is gone anyway and it can harm the fat, especially if the food contains meat. Disclaimer: I am not a chemist or cook.
No offense to your grandmother, but she doesn't sound like a chemist either. Fats go rancid because of heat, light, and oxygen. Properly storing in a freezer removes all three of these factors.
If anything, salt will make fats stay fresh longer - for instance, most generations prior to widespread refrigeration technology grew up on salted butter. Fresh butter was a special treat, only available during certain months. Salted butter was the norm, because the salt was used as a preservative, and would allow the butter to be kept at cellar temps for months and months, all the way through winter and into spring. Yes, the result was more salty (they used 10x the amount of salt we use in salted butter now), but the butter fat didn't get the flavor of rancid fat (which, seriously, is so absolutely fucking vile that once you have it pointed out to you, you'll never not notice it - no amount of salt, seasoning, or herbs can cover up the flavor of rancid fat).
If you're freezing to 0, you're fine, regardless of salt content.
Also, for the love of god, salt your food while cooking! The only cultural reason we add salt afterwards is because a French king hundreds of years ago did, or because we're cooking for someone with strict sodium limits.
