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.

Vegetarian yes, vegan no.
edit: Y'alls know the basic, most commonly used definitions are just that vegetarians won't eat animals but will consume other animal products, whereas veganism is about consuming no animals or animal products, right?
So, milk. Vegetarians can drink it, strict veganism prohibits it. Boogers are no different, an animal product.
I swear, kids these days.
Vegans can eat their own boogers. Their whole disposition is on the basis of ethical consumption and consent. A cow can't consent to being milked. We've bred them and in a vegans eye's, exploited them for so long that, that's just the status quo. Similarly bees collect honey to feed themselves. They don't understand we take what we deem is a surplus to them. So they never consented to share with us.
If you pick your own boogers, you consented to do so. That means it's ethical to eat.
Ah ok, I got it. So yours are ok but your friend's are off-limits, yeah?
If they consent it’s okay.
There are vegans who swallow semen.
Disgusting. Tell me where these vegans are so I can avoid them.
You're generalizing one set of motives for all vegans. Veganism is a behavior, the reasons why they do it can vary from individual to individual.
As a categorization, though, the no-animal-products is the basic thing they all have in common. While some do make exceptions for different things, they're still considered exceptions to the basic rule.
For all you know, it could be a religious observance.
