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.

And while I perfectly expect joke answers, this is also a serious question.

He gets measured and weighed.

Height length width and weight

[–] themeatbridge 21 points 1 week ago

Funny and factually correct.

[–] Chainweasel 51 points 1 week ago

About the time they start walking.
Once they're standing up, they're tall.
While they're still laying down, they're long.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And at what age do boys start to measure length again?

[–] Nurse_Robot 17 points 1 week ago

Usually around 12-15

[–] donuts 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

??? not a joke answer - what is the difference between length and height?

[–] donuts 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess that answers it then - when humans start walking instead of crawling

Also, I imagine gravity may compress us a bit.

[–] moistclump 9 points 1 week ago

Gravity gets me down

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe I'll start using my space height on my tinder.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So the answer is "if/when they come out"?

[–] andrewta 2 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

[Insert face-palm gif]

[–] DrownedRats 0 points 1 week ago

Gravity surely?

As a man, I don't believe I've ever stopped measuring by length. But maybe I should switch to weight.

"It weighs 10 whole pounds just by itself."

"That is too big for a tumor. Hou're going to die."

[–] shalafi 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have dick like a baby, 10-pounds of dangling fury.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 1 points 1 week ago

I'm just imagining a grown man standing there, then you takes off your towel, and instead of a dick, you have a conjoined infant baby dangling from your crotch. Attatched by the head to your crotch. Clearly only aged until age 3 months old, meanwhile the adult half of you is 34 years old.

Scientists can't figure out if they love or hate you.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

around 2 years old I guess, when most people are able to walk frequently

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

This would make sense

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

they are the same thing, this is just a matter of when they are able to stand up to measure them while standing vs while lying, I think

[–] dgmib 6 points 1 week ago

The same time you stop measuring age in months.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

For as long as you can't stand it

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It depends... length of what part?

(No, don't try to tell me that wasn't what you wanted to hear! :-))
