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.

Nice job OP! Not only is this not a stupid question, this is in fact a fantastic question! Kudos to you!
My phone goes in my left pocket, and I usually hold it with my left hand since I use a swipe keyboard to type, and I'm right handed. My front right is for my money clip, which also contains a few important plastic cards. This was a huge change for me. Keeping cash and cards and nothing else. Absolutely liberating to not have a wallet taking up pocket space.
My keys dangle at my right hip.
Context: I'm a man, and only wear shorts or pants with pockets. I also only buy phones that fit easily into my pockets, so never the extra mega ones.
I'm glad to see how many of us there are that have a system!
Lol this is wild. I am right handed, hold with right hand, use right front pocket, and use right thumb to Swype text. This is like a way more interesting "do you sit to wipe or stand" question.
We're all different! Which is awesome. My giant thumbs just aren't as precise. I can do it, but it's so much easier with the tip of my index.
I'm glad to meet a fellow swiper though! Nice to meet you 956¡ In the wild I only ever meet people who double thumb it like animals, or people who recognize that double thumbing is ridiculous and either voice type or slow type a short message. I don't think I've ever met anyone who swipes every time. I've met a few people who tried it and thought it was too hard, and I get that. But holding my phone in front of me with both hands to type with my two thumbs just makes no sense to me.
If dedicated thumb types out there feel called out, that is my intent! Our thumbs are awesome, but they are not ideal for tapping tiny things precisely. That's just not what they evolved to do!! There's even a saying about being "all thumbs," which refers to being clumsy. Don't be all thumbs! Swipe!
