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.

My female cousin has today her 18th birthday and I completely forgot about it. Help me think of some good presents to quickly buy and give to her.

Edit: Already bought a few presents. Thanks to everyone for tips.

You know her better than us. Some pointer though

Books, it's a gift for everybody and everybody loves them

Some fun stuff reffering to a private joke. Works better with adult who have everything but still works for teens

A good bottle of wine? She is an adult now

A concert ticket for whatever artists she might like

unless the drinking age is 21 where they live.... (in the us. yes. we're puritanical.)

I second the books. Go to a bookstore and find something that would make you both laugh. Another option is if she's into any sort of crafts. Knitting, maybe? (but only if you KNOW. and then I highly recomend gift cards. or at the very least receipts.)

finally, does anybody say 'no' to their favorite candy?

The problem with wine is that she dislikes them in general but a book sounds also good.

[–] FuglyDuck 2 points 1 year ago

Hehe. Maybe a coloring book and a few crayons if you fancy some whimsy.

Not wine but I was also thinking about alcohol, maybe Jack Daniels. I know she likes that one.
