      Keeping the weight to the bottom makes more sense, besides being way less awkward to grab.

        And with point-down, when you grab a handle, your hand isn’t underneath a bunch of knife blades.

      Well, my thinking was that I am very clumsy, and if the knife slips out of my fingers when the edge is up that I might slice my hand open. But possibly it is more natural and easy to grab from the bottom and that will more than outweigh any extra safety from having the blade pointed down.

          Below the rack should be the counter. Not a long fall. Not like it’s mounted over the baby’s crib or something.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases.
