!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.

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.

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.

Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?

Left for my wallet (which is chained to me) and right for my phone (which is clipped to me)

Though I will occasionally put my phone into my fanny pack. I have to carry one around that to severe diabetes, so I may as well make usage of it if I have a lot to carry.

Left from pocket. Wallet goes in right pocket with keys.

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

Very interesting reading all the responses, as I am a rear pocket person. Hate the feeling of having things against my thighs when I move.

Though having it in my back pockets does mean I take them out everytime I sit down.

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

Fanny pack. Is it just me?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wallet right cargo, phone left front, keys/knife right front, ID left rear. Used to be on my belt to the right at 3 o’clock but that’s where my magazines go now.

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

Right front pocket, upside down, screen facing inward. My vape goes in back right pocket. All my other pockets are empty.

Bra strap. Most of my clothes dont have pockets that hold it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice try, the pickpocket that I will walk pass tomorrow.

My phone is in my front right pocket because I can take my phone out and use it with just one hand. Wallet and keys in the front left.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Right handed, so right pocket, spun round so the screen faces outward, wallet and keys in the left, or keys on a lanyard thing clipped to me depending on if they're my car keys or work keys that actually go into a door

Picked that habbit up during the "put the lock button on the back" craze and would have constant issues of it vibrating in my pocket from the lock screen button being tapped and my leg barely managing to tap numbers randomly through my pocket

Same here, Left front, or sometimes shirt pocket if I have one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It depends on what I'm wearing, whether it has front or back pockets, which hand was holding it last, what I am doing at the time, and whether or not I want to put it in my purse instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Left front. Top down to keep lint out of the charge port. Glass inward to (supposedly) reduce RF.

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

some follow up questions: if you put it in your back pocket how often do you sit on it? is your screen always cracked?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

never cracked a screen but 90% of the time I take it out as I sit down

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right front pocket

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Front right pocket here. Left is reserved for my wallet and handkerchief.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Front right pocket for phone, front left pocket for keys, back right pocket for wallet if in uncrowded area, front left.

If it's crowded in winter, it all changes. I have a Columbia jacket with zipper pockets on the side and one chest pocket. Phone and keys stay on their corresponding sides (or even still in the pants because the jacket covers my pockets and who wants to steal a six year old cracked LG?), while wallet goes into the chest pocket.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Back left pocket, with my wallet in my back right and its chain attached to my belt loop above my front right pocket. Front right pocket contains a chapstick. Front left is nearly always empty because lady pants front pockets are practically useless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Phone in front-left, wallet and a hand towel (Tokyo summers are a sweaty, brutal mess) in right-front. Keys clipped somewhere to my belt loop. back pockets usually empty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Usually left from pocket. Or back left pocket. I like left. It's opposite from my "main" hand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right handed.

I have my phone in the front right pocket of my jeans, with some microfibre cloth in the litle watch pouch for my glasses and screens, while my wallet, business cards, keys and mints live on the left front side.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I hold it under my non-dominant armpit when wearing pants with no pockets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right or left front pocket, I switch every 3 years or so to keep things spicy

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

Front left for phone and change, front right for keys, pocket knife, and lighter. Wallet in right hip pocket unless I’m in a crowd or unfamiliar city. Then it also goes in the front right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Front left is keys. Front right has my boxcutter. Left cargo pocket is phone. Right cargo is for glasses case for shades or umbrella. Rear left pocket, at work or when I'm doing a project has box gloves. Rear right is wallet. My jacket has one cheap leather glove in each front pocket for weather/driving in the cold.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

During jacket season, right jacket pocket or left inside pocket if there is one. Outside of jacket season, back right because from pockets in women's jeans are tiny. Purse if I don't have pockets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lefty here, I usually stick it in my right front pocket

[–] Cethin 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right handed; slim front pocket wallet and phone in the right picket, keys in the left. I keep my phone in the opposite pocket as my keys to avoid scratches, and those were in the left so phone went right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've basically always used the same pocket as my keys and I've never had problems with scratches. Admittedly, I have my phone in my pocket a lot less these days than I did several years ago, but that's still almost a decade of experience...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right pocket because I use my right hand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My purse? Then after that my jacket. I don't use my pants pockets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I put my phone in either of my back packets when wearing pants with for pockets. Never front pockets.

I hope to see someone take all of these answers and create sweet graphs with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Left breast pocket.

If for whatever reason I am wearing a shirt without pockets, left front pocket of pants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Also front left for phone and front right for wallet and keys.

For the phone in left pocket though, only the phone is placed in it to prevent it from getting scratched (even with a screen protector it's annoying), so nothing else goes in there.

Learned that the hard way.
