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.

For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook's advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

Like, not asking for medical advice but does taking antihistamines help? I've just been on monteleukast recently and also started drinking coffee recently. I'm curious if it's something worth bringing up with my MD next visit. I live in a pollen bowl tho so I'm not sure it has anything to do with the coffee my nasals were just kinda clogged for 10 years before I did anything about it.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you're already having similar issues. If you drink a cup of coffee and get suddenly tired, congested or physically sore then I'd bring it up with your doctor. This didn't start happening to me until my late 30s, and only when I drink particularly high histamine coffees, I don't think it's a common reaction.

Antihistamines help a little but I usually have to reach for something like Benadryl which leaves me exhausted (not usually what I want after a coffee) so I've just gravitated to safer coffees. High doses of DAO enzyme seem to do a slightly better job but I'd rather just avoid the attack in the first place when possible.

Again, it's probably not something you need to worry about unless you start having histamine reactions to tea, coffee or chocolate. I'm just particularly sensitive to all of them.
