No Stupid Questions
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.

Maybe take the approach used in Asia of taking shoes off at the door to avoid tracking in dirt
Not just Asia. Wearing shoes indoors is mostly an american thing.
Europe here. Taking shoes off at the door is cleanliness 101 in my house. Stops people from spreading all kind of dirt inside the house.
Then well, there is the matter of kids and pets. 1 kid, 1 cat here. This fundamentally changes how you need to clean the house.
Sometimes I try to remember what a great princess once proclaimed: let it go, let it gooo...
The last time this topic came up, someone said..
Nah, in the Netherlands I'd say 75% of guests in houses wears shoes indoor.
We don't have much carpets though. With carpets I'd totally get it.
That's why I said mostly. There are exceptions of course. I only tell people to keep their shoes on if the floor is too dirty and it wasn't raining / snowing.
Edit: also, flip flops exist. Lots of people have guest pairs somewhere so you don't walk on the cold floor.
Italy too, pretty much everyone that is know wears shoes indoors.
Australia, it's a bit more normal to ask if shoes should come off when visiting someone, as that might be their thing.
Not just america
I do take my shoes off now, but did not growing up

Mostly America.
Sorry links to this reddit.com site don't seem to work here
Wdym it works fine in Sync.
Your link says shoes off is considered rude in all of Central/South America and all of western Europe.
I do, the issue is I'm the ONLY one who does. My mom raised me to take shoes off indoors but I'm not sure where she learned it from because nobody else in the family does.
