@evan Interesting/weird question. I rarely go full yes/no in your polls, but today I dare to say unqualified "Yes". (Curious about the buts
) -
@evan I'm flabbergasted at any no's.

@virtuous_sloth why is that?

@virtuous_sloth why is that?
@evan Why would mixing a particular combination of food ingredients in a particular order ever be immoral just because someone else mixed the same combination in the same order previously? That would be some magical incantation!
-
@evan I don't think there is even copyright protection for recipes, at least in the EU, and I would suspect everywhere else too.

@evan I would say yes, but also: There are ingredients and prep work for a lot of great dishes that only really make sense at if you're feeding a lot of people or if you plan on eating a whole lot of that one thing for awhile.
I've attempted some recipes from favorite restaurants and afterward just been like, "you know what? let's leave this one to the pros"

@lmorchard @evan some dishes are better made at home, some are better made at scale, and some need adaptions to function on either scenario.
But morality doesn't feature in that, just practicality. Food is life, let's keep copyright out of that.
-
@evan 100%, no question. There's a long history of recipes being in the commons. Even when written down, they're not eligible for copyright protection.
-
@evan is this a post about IP law and enshittification?
-
@evan Well... Why reverse engineer? Everytime I had asked I was given the recipe gladly. For dishes, cocktails, deserts... Social engineering, if you want to call it that way. :)
-
@evan recipes are not copyrighted

@devlord no, it's about recipes and restaurants.
-
@evan recipes are not copyrighted
@liilliil are there things that are unrelated to copyright that are still not OK?

@lizzard @lmorchard so, just wondering: why is everyone so hung up on copyright? The question doesn't ask about copyright at all.

@swelljoe so, is it possible for something to be unrelated to copyright and still not OK?
-

@micke is it possible for something to be acceptable within copyright law and yet still not OK to do?
-
@liilliil are there things that are unrelated to copyright that are still not OK?
@evan can't even guess what, for example. Chef will be upset? ;)

@virtuous_sloth why indeed! Did you come up with any ideas?

@molly0xfff This is hilarious, and I am definitely at least partially the target audience (would be 100% if they were crocheted socks lol). I did get some knitting needles a couple months back but haven't given it a go yet 🤷
-
@molly0xfff idk the first thing about #knitting or #crochet, but the people who do these crafts seem very fun-spirited. So, I share this reminder that the U.S. National Park Service has patterns for a goat, a cactus, fish, triops, a beaver, and more. https://www.nps.gov/search/?query=Crochet&sitelimit=&affiliate=nps
