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.

If not, then what about rarely instead of never?

I'd rather fart and be happy than smell nice in misery.

If you really wanted the best of both worlds, you could get those underwear inserts that hide the smell.

The strange items humanity comes up with for very specific problems never cease to amaze me

They even have a blanket for similar purposes (fart concealment) and it’s called “the marriage blanket.” Cause farts ruin your marriage, allegedly. Haven’t ruined mine, but what do I know.

There's this mineral you can eat called bismuth subgallate that works as an internal deodorant. It's sold under the brand name devrom. Haven't tried it, but heard good things.

Things I learn on Lemmy, for real. “It’s like Febreeze but for your insides.”

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have they used "It's a breathmint for your butthole" yet?

[–] ickplant 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be genius marketing right there. I already ordered some online. Can’t wait to smell my own farts.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only reason I haven't bought some is because I'm poor. Hey devrom guys I just got you a sale. Send me some.

[–] ickplant 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao, I know what you mean, it was like $20 for what I assume is a monthly supply but I didn’t even look. I’m definitely never buying this again but damn, I had to try it once!

[–] ickplant 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, the stuff works! It’s chewable tablets, banana flavored. You’re supposed to take several throughout the day, starting with 2. So, naturally, I threw 6 down my gullet to begin with. You know, for science.

Next morning, I took a vile shit. Just, crime-against-humanity levels of vileness. It didn’t smell at all. Just… nothing. Farts? No smell. Whatsoever.

I’m in awe. There is no way I would use this product for daily life (too expensive, too much hassle), but for specific situations (spending time in close quarters with friends or brand new significant other before you broke the poop/fart seal).

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just want to find a way to get my insurance to pay for it. I'm missing some body parts in my GI tract so I have several crime-against-humanity plops a day. My neighbors would probably be grateful for it.

[–] ickplant 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sucks that they won't cover it. Insurance companies are a scourge on this earth. If you do decide to try it, devrom's own website is the cheapest at like $13 a bottle.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 2 points 1 year ago

I'm legit thinking of just getting some pure bismuth whatever it is and compounding some myself cheaper, but meh. I'm really lazy sometimes.

Farts don't have to smell bad. This is something you can change with diet. In particular, avoiding animal products will help. But if you go completely vegan, then your sweat will smell weird, so it's a trade-off.
