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.

I'm really surprised at how many people have their why not to mix cleaning supplies wrong.

Bleach + ammonia can make chloramine gas by the bigger problem would be making NCl3 and blowing your toilet up.

Bleach + acid(like cleaning vinegar) is what makes chlorine gas that will auschwitz your bathroom.

Bleach + rubbing alcohol actually makes chloroform, which is fun.

I'm surprised how many people use bleach / bleach based products. You really don't need such aggressive stuff the majority of times. Regular cleaners work just fine. Or is that an US thing where bleach is in every cleaning product or something?

Nailed it. Bleach is everywhere.

They bring guns everywhere for "defense" and drive gigantic trucks to the mall. No such thing as overkill in the USA

I’m in the U.K. and most people use bleach to clean their toilet and that’s it

Yeah, bleach only for the mould. Everything else is household disinfectant and soap solution.

Just as an aside, Chloroform is not fun. It's not at all like it is portrayed in movies, where you splash a little on a rag and it will make someone pass out with no consequences.

Chloroform can render you unconscious in sufficient concentrations, but it will also cause brain damage and might kill you.

they dont want you mixing random chemicals, because they are worried you will make a special potion which gives you superpowers
