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.

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.

In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

There are ~~sides~~ dudes so manly that when they go to the bathroom they thoroughly wash their hands before doing their business, but not afterwards.

Now you know why the cold and the flu and now COVID will never go away.

thoroughly wash their hands before doing their business

That would be a first for me to see. Well maybe I’ve seen it at a place that serves hot wings…

I work with my hands so if my hands are covered in grease or dirt or whatever I wash my hands before taking a piss. I do wash my hands after as well.

Oops, you didn't even finish reading my first comment and just started replying. So your answer actually doesn't apply.

You full well know we're talking about the average guy in just your everyday average bathroom usage.

We're not talking about edge cases.

There are some edge cases where you would never wash your hands - because you don't have any, or wearing a pee bag (whatever they are called)...

There are some edge cases where you should just pee in your clothes - when you're floating in the middle of the ocean all alone...

There are some edge cases where you always make someone else handle your business - when you're in a coma...

There are some edge cases where you should hold your pee - someone has an example...

What other edge cases do you want to think up to prove absolutely nothing?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you're just peeing that makes a lot of sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You don't wash your hands after peeing?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes I do. But it's more important to wash them before and if I could only do one, I'd take before.

Let's never eat anywhere near each other.
