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.

you cant actually burn fat from specific areas. its all or nothin
Oh, really? Interesting to know. I just have a fat belly (not very fat, but still fat) and I’m skinny myself. If I want to lose weight, I’m afraid that not only will I “not have" a belly, but even more serious health problems will arise
They're right. Where your fat is isn't based on areas that don't get exercise, it's just based on genetics. Some people carry most of their fat in their butt or hips, some in their belly, some basically everywhere. You'll lose fat from wherever it is if you burn more calories than you take in (with some weirdness as your body works for a while to retain it's current amount of stored fat).
So any exercise you get will contribute to burning more. You could get one of those exercise things that's basically bike pedals you work with your arms. Then the other side of the equation is to take in fewer calories.
One other note: you can have little body fat and still not have a flat stomach. If you have no tone in your stomach muscles, your tummy can look like you have a bit of a belly, even if it's not fat. Even just going around with your tummy held flat can help tone up those muscles if you can do that.
i have the same problem.
i am a tent pole with pouch.
when i asked my doctor about it he said 'thats where your intestines are, idiot' (im paraphrasing)
the only way to maaybe trim up the area, is strengthening your muscle mass in that area. sit-ups and the like.. but no. im not doin that.
