RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Yooo! Imagine eating soup from a bowl you made. That's so much cooler than it should be!
Soup might be difficult if I wanted to make everything myself, stew I could do though. Ideally would want to make a spoon which I tried with the first batch of clay but it cracked too much. Second batch might be good enough to make a spoon from. Plus getting better at working with the clay would probably help too.
Alternatively just cook the stew and use a pointy stick to get the solid bits and slurp from the side of the bowl to get the liquid.
Not sure on the legality of making crab traps here, line and open nets are ok but I think with a proper trap I think there is stuff about making sure it doesn't catch other things which something made from sticks is clearly not going to meet. Which is a shame as its a lot easier to make that than twisting enough fiber to make a net. Mussels are easy enough to find but I would probably avoid them being filter feeders and its not the cleanest water here, at least a crab you can scoop out its stomach and not eat that bit.
