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 want to make sure I reapply sunscreen every 1-2 hours, but I don't want to carry my phone or wear a watch on my wrist. I'm thinking it would be ideal to have some kind of super light waterproof pocket watch that I can attach to my swim trunks or something. But I don't know if such a thing exists. How do you guys normally check the time when you're at a water park?

I use the hand trick with the sun.

4 fingers between the sun and the horizon is about an hour. From time to time, I just take a measurement.

For every 4 fingers of additional height until noon is an hour, from every 4 fingers of less height after noon is an hour.

Edit: One of the best times to check if when you're at the top of a water slide tower, since they usually give you a nice view of the horizon.

Not to be that guy, but why don't you want to wear a watch? This is like one of the prime use cases for a waterproof wrist watch

Maybe every other ride? I just feel it out, does it feel like an hour? Then sun cream. It's not like putting it on too often is an issue.

Make sure it's waterproof though. If not then you need to reapply after every time you go in the water.

Doesn't the water park have clocks visible? You could use those.

If you have a closeable pocket in your swimpants then take a small tool and take your watch off its wrist straps. Put that in the pocket and you will be able to check the time whenever you want.

Yeah, it really annoys me that at the water park I usually go to (not the best, but the closest one to me) there aren't any clocks around, even in the food stalls or places like that. Fortunately, when I look around I can usually find someone wearing a watch or looking at a phone that I can ask.
