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.

Birds and dogs shit all over the street then you people wear your shoes in the house!? 🀒

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 42 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You don't notice when you step in dog shit?

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Piles yes, but there be smaller trace amounts too

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I treat my shoes like I treat my cutlery - if the pieces of shit are small enough that I don't see them, I'll gladly lick them

Insert Summer making ass eating noises.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Make sure you take your dog's shoes off, too.

[–] flyboy_146@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The two dogs I had were easily taught to wait on the floor mat right by the door. Once someone wiped their paws with a towel they would proceed forward. 🀷🏼

[–] otherbarry@lemmy.zip 9 points 9 months ago

A lot of people's dogs are trained to wait inside at the door for their paws to get wiped down before walking into the house/apartment/whatever.

But sure, if the dog did go walk outside with boots/shoes then yeah their owner would obviously take them off once they were back inside.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

If it’s wet or snowy out, I throw down a town on my way out, so my dog has no choice but to step on a towel on the way in. Combine that with using a leash and she has no choice but to stop until I’m satisfied with her feet

My sister-in-law does similar with a bucket of clean water, so she even gets dry dirt off, but that’s excessive.

Humans have lived in filth their entire existence and whatever being tracked in, if it’s not visible, it’s cleaner than most of human history and it’s clean enough to not cause harm

If I got a dog it would be half way to having a kid. I can barely take care of myself, I don't need another soul to disappoint.

[–] NIB@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

You can wash your dog's feet you know.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Birds and dogs shit in my house.

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Wait til you learn what's on your toothbrush

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not mine, it's separated from the toilet by a door and has a uv light. Not perfect, but not straight up doodoo

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Less shit I tracked in from the street than y'all.

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Less shit is still shit on your toothbrush.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world -4 points 9 months ago

I take precautions to minimize the amount of shit I'm exposed to. Tooth brush goes in the shower bag, which doesn't live in the bathroom. Take my shoes off at the door, so I don't get street shit in my house. You follow?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Guess what, everything has poo and bacteria all over it.

Your keyboard or phone are far more disgusting than any shoe. You’ll live sunshine.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Guess what, everything has poo and bacteria all over it.

I love this 'why try; give up' attitude. Getting out of bed must be hard if you're just going to be back there later.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Welcome to Lemmy

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its more, theres no harm in wearing your shoes inside. It’s like saying we should all wear gloves inside to not touch germs, just kinda silly y’know. Humans evolved barefoot, a bit of dirt on the floor isnt the be all and end all of existence.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Nobody said it was lol.

The ley is the amount. If you’re actively tracking more shit into and all around your house you’re going to have more than someone who doesn’t.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Guess what, my floor is cleaner than yours.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are you eating off it? Or are you just very concerned about keeping your socks clean?

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

Well I change my socks every day regardless, I guess I just think it's gross to bring the street into your space.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social -4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Guess what, it makes no difference.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I'd rather less shit particles, thanks.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Your phone and your keyboard maybe lol.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Everyone’s

Shit mines probably cleaner because I change keyboards more often than the average user.

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago

Been disinfecting my phones and keyboards long before 2008 lol.

[–] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Even worse than that - I wear SHOES in the OFFICE. How disgusting is that??!!??

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Makes more sense than your private home.

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Oh, you even breathe in shit. Nevermind the carpet.
