No such thing. Ask away!

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.

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.

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.

Easy. If I was trapped in a recently abandoned pickle factory, then I would survive on the food in the staff canteen, starting with what had just been prepared, such as pizza and sandwiches; after a day or so I would move on to see what was in the refrigerators, and finally work my way up to the frozen food. Oh, by the way, when they abandoned the factory, they forgot to turn off the power, so all the perishables are still nicely preserved.
Also, lots of things can be pickled, not just cucumbers. The word “pickles” makes me immediately think of pickled onions. There is usually quite a bit of sugar in the picking vinegar.
Yes, but imagine it's a pickle warehouse, like strictly a warehouse somewhere that houses product.
Also, I'm not sure where you live, but if a place in the US put pickled onions on your burger when you asked for pickles, I think we'd have a problem. "Pickles" without further context always means pickled cucumbers. That's even how they're labeled in supermarkets.
Hell nah. Pickled onion is really good on a burger. I wish it was more common.
I ... I can't ... I ... am I smoking salvia?
Pickled onions may be good if you ask for it. I'm not arguing about the flavor lmao. I'm saying 100% of people who ask for "pickles" without further elaboration are expecting pickled cucumbers because that's what's meant by "pickles" here in the US. It's how they're labeled on menus, packaging including jars, advertising, literature, movies, comics, and all other forms of media.
NO ONE anywhere in the US means "pickled onions" when they say "pickles." No one.
Oh lol. I read that wrong. Yeah, that would be a problem. "Yo, where's my pickle?"
I agree that pickled onions are good, though
Underappreciated condiment
Just as well that I am not in the US then.
Understandable! I was just frustrated with that other person for a second because I wrote a paragraph about what "pickles" means in the US, which seemed to go ignored. But we cleared it up lol
