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.

If the machine starts operating then, yes it'll be bad.

During initialization the machine checks for all of this. I once had a staple on my clothes and the tech came in and asked me to look for it. They didn't know what it was. They just knew I had metal on me.

The butt plug rail one is wild! Idk how that happened.

That's wild. I know about the plug one, but a staple?

The good thing is that whatever you were going in for the MRI for won't matter, because you'll be dead.

They will follow the magnetic field. Directly, without delay, and with vigour.

The technician hits the button causing the machine to vent and hundreds of thousands if not millions in repairs before going home and never working again due to the trauma.

You achieve that peak of human immortality - oral tradition - but it’s limited to a generation or two of nurses.

Also, if we suspect you've done so (such as a hx of inserting items into orifices or swallowing them for pica or malingering reasons), we would do an XRay or CT first.

Probably similar experience as this lady who left a butt plug in, but instead of an anal rail gun, it'd be a stomach rail shotgun.

Riskiest click all day... My god could you imagine the horror of surviving that?!

Microsoft Clippy materializes as your permanent sidekick. You cannot close Clippy.

"Looks like you're jacking off again, would you like help with that?"

"Looks like you're thinking about your ex again, would you like to stage a home invasion?"

"All women hate you, the logical conclusion is that modern day feminism is at fault, would you like directions to the nearest KKK rally?"

Clippy has a lot of issues. It's not worth it bro.

The idea of a paperclip involved in jacking off made me cringe more than I would have expected.

[–] Treczoks 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Let me put it this way: a) it would probably make the news and b) both the MRI team and the funeral home will curse you.

You wouldn't make it to the MRI. They'd be attracted to the magnet before you entered the MRI. Not too sure how close to the magnet you could get, but maybe a few feet?

I'd assume it depends on the strength of the magnet and efficiency of shielding (assuming MRIs have some shielding.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Well, you ever have anyone to threaten to tear you a new asshole?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 13 points 2 days ago

They wouldn't do the MRI because they'd be ripped through your body

[–] Marthirial 4 points 1 day ago

Plot twist: the paper clips are plastic but the box is metal so the MRI just squares your ass away.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

You'll choke on a box of paperclips.

Imagine pinhead from hellraisers turned inside out. Also they might heat up and burn too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

You’ll get a big surprise!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Bro got intrusive thoughts 👀

[–] Lost_My_Mind 4 points 2 days ago

I imagine the paperclips wouldn't taste good.....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Watch the episode of House MD with the magician. Pretty much that.

I don't know, but tell us the answer if you try it /j
