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.

Because sometimes I do chores that require me to be outside? And I'm constantly going in and out, carrying things back and forth, moving tools from the shed to the garage, to the kitchen to hang a shelf, and back outside to put them away? When I do yard work I get sweaty and need a drink of water, and don't feel like taking off my shoes or boots just to go inside for 30 seconds and then put them back on to go back out and continue working.

All my Asian friends houses have piles of shoes by the front door and piles of shoes just outside the back door for situations like this.

Yeah fuck undoing my laces for the 20 seconds inside. Cleaning up afterwards can be more efficient depending on what you're doing.

You only have one pair of shoes? Or do all the shoes you buy have laces that take half a minute to undo?

Maybe invest in something else, like crocks or something.

[–] TwanHE 2 points 9 months ago

Crocs don't do well in wet sadly. But it honestly depends on what im doing, if i know I'll be in and out the house a lot taking a single path and cleaning that is just easier.

Every time someone ends a statement with a question mark I read it in the voice of David from Schitt's Creek?

I'm not sure what the problem is when you work in slippers or crocs. I often am barefoot at home but sometimes when it's cold or when I do something that involves water I put on house slippers. When I go outside of the apartment to get the post, to the basement, to the trash, or the balcony, or the garden, I slip out of them and in another set of slippers that are used solely for "outside". This takes like 2 seconds.

And for the water drink when you do yard work, maybe bring a bottle? Might save you even more time than running back and forth to put water in a glass.

Also, I don't know your life, but I doubt that you hang shelves in your kitchen on a daily basis. But I mean, you do you.

[–] PlantDadManGuy 0 points 9 months ago

You'd be amazed how much work some people do on a daily basis. Also my backyard is currently a swamp, and slippers would not last me a week of working in my garden, even if it were good weather. But you do you.
