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.

As a kid, I bruised all the time, very easily. Nowadays, I don't bruise at all, with some exceptions.
I broke my toe about a week ago, as in literally snapped the bone in half and ended up with one piece almost a centimeter out of alignment. And yet, no bruise. Not even the slightest sign of one.
Now, the exception is if I've been drinking. I broke that same toe 2 years ago while I was drunk and it basically turned black.

I don't know why I would bruise normally when drinking, but never bruise at all when sober. Is it possible I am bruising and it's just not visible for whatever reason?

Same here. At 52 I simply don't bruise, not matter the injury. Yes, even broken fingers and toes. Between being active and clumsy, I get injured a fair bit. Can't say when I noticed it, but it's been a thing since at least my 30s.

There was a brief period in life where I bruised alarmingly easy! Started thinking I had really fucked up my vascular system. Then it stopped. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Drinking doesn't seem to matter, I drink beers (many) every day, but nothing stronger.

I have almost no body fat, and maybe not enough. That the case with you? Women seem to bruise far easier, and even skinny women have that fine layer of fat some of us men lack. Just spit balling here, but I'm as confused as you are.

I've got a fair amount of fat and muscle on me. That could be a factor though. Maybe one of the reasons I don't bruise easily is because I absorb the blows better than I used to. Back when I was bruising constantly I had alarmingly little body fat.

Combined with some of the stuff other people have mentioned, I can see there being enough factors piled on that the injury would have to be really severe before I start having noticeable bruising.

Sounds opposite of me then. Always been scrawny, always been hard to bruise. Since I was a child anyway.

But there was that weird time when I bruised at a touch! Scared the shit of out me, thought I was getting old and falling apart. Still no idea how that worked, but it's long over.

If someone gets you a reasonable answer, let me know!
