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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Celiac technically isn’t an allergy, but yes. Some denominations will give you a gluten free communion wafer. Catholicism, however, requires one that contains wheat although it’s possible to get a very low gluten option that probably won’t trigger a reaction.
Seems like a big risk if they fuck it up.
Priest here!
The "wheat" is more of a formality in the concentrations used in the gluten-free hosts.
.
The LONG sermon:
Ever hear of homeopathy? The "homeopathic essence" of whatever substance used?
For SAFE things like violet essence or dandelion essence, so called "flower essences":the flowers are place in water in the sun and happy thoughts are thought over them. (Just about like a prayer, don't you think?)
For UNSAFE substances: like black widow venom, datura flowers, and uranium: water is brought CLOSE to these things (in the case of freaking uranium. Like on a tour through a nuclear plant and holding a glass of water up to the thick glass that separates tourists from a nuclear reactor) or HEAVILY diluted.
I'm talking a drop of venom in a gallon of water, which then a drop of that gallon is placed in a fresh gallon of water, etc. etc. UP TO 100 TIMES.
And very DIFFERENT happy thoughts are beamed at that tenth of fiftieth or HUNDREDTH gallon of water (a bit like an Exorcism, if I do say so myself) and THEN that water is administered to someone.
Like a Sacrament.
.
So, Rest Assured!
A Priest has Spoken!!
And the "gluten free hosts" TECHNICALLY contain wheat,
But not in any kind of concentration that is going to get any tummies rumbling.
The Church (I mean the actual, loving one that doesn't want to kill or molest people) doesn't want to hurt anyone.
And I as a Priest of that church, love you very much.
Take care of yourself, Habibi!
Xoxo -Long Winded Priest.
Lovely explanation, thanks!
Yeah, hopefully it would be clearly labeled. I went to a Presbyterian church one time and at their communion, everyone else got wonderful looking artisan brown bread. They gave me this weird half-and-half cup with brown looking wine and this tiny 1 cm chip of theoretically gluten free cracker sealed on top. It was kinda interesting so I just kept it.
