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.

Do you use one or more towels or washcloths?

Do you get worried that you might have dried your face with the same side you dried your butt with?

You're drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn't matter what you dry first.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 102 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Disagree: if you start at the top and work down, then the wet spots don’t drip down onto the parts you’ve already dried.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Counterpoint - I dry my legs and feet first as those are the first to cause water to get on the floor. Then I get a bathrobe and finally work on the hair.

Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something

[–] braindefragger@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.

If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.

[–] listless@lemmy.cringecollective.io 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't need pubic har in my face.

Speak for yourself.

[–] braindefragger@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself.

I believe that’s what everyone was doing, but it seemed to upset some people for some reason.

Generally top to bottom but don’t overthink it.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Yup I'll just chime in to add I dry off while still standing in the shower to minimize wetness on my bathroom mat

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, usually i take my underwear off first...

[–] Troubleinmind@lemmy.wtf 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It seems more efficient to wash it while you shower, no?

Why is that guy wearing underwear if he's just gotten out of the shower? Does he put his underwear on and then dry himself? Am I doing showers wrong?!

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No you leave it on in the shower.

[–] 00L10@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

As a fellow nevernude...

[–] invisiblegorilla@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I start with grit 60, working up to 120, then a 600 for the smoothest finish, then a once over with a buffing pad for a shine that really glows. Always top to bottom.

Top to bottom. Water runs downhill.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I use the side of my hand to squegee it all down, then just have to towel off a little dampness. Learned that technique as a kid when I went to camp and only had a hand towel size for 2 weeks because of poor packing.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

You mean to tell me y'all aren't just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?

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

Head to toe, my dudes. Any other way is objectively wrong.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Top to bottom but with D and E switched

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I finish with the D too!

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago
[–] cabbage@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Top to bottom-ish. But I consistently use one side of the towel for my face, and the other side for my junk. I know it doesn't matter as I have cleaned up everywhere anyway, but I like to keep it separated anyway.

I dry from head to toe. I use two towel, one just for my hair because I have long-ass hair and by the time I'm done drying it, the towel is usually pretty damp so I have another for my body.

I just shake the water off like a dog.

I just have a human sized Dyson air blade. As I step out of the shower, hurricane force winds blow all the water back into it.

Generally top to bottom, because otherwise drips from above will rewet areas you tried to dry

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Surprised we haven't heard from the germophobes that they use a gantry of hot air blowers, like you sometimes find at the end of an automated car wash.

Is this the right community for this post?

Its not a genuine question.

All the answers are jokes.

Seems more like an asklemmy thing.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

A,B,C,D,E, and F. I use the tag of the towel to determined the use of my towel. Tag always goes bottom right and that means my feet always go there to dry. Divide my towel to 4-5 sections and always use the same spot of the towel for the same parts.

I'm bald

I put on my bathrobe for a couple of minutes. Use the sleeves to dry my head/hair. That's pretty much it.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It’s almost entirely just a progression from top to bottom with the one exception that I do my face first because I need to see properly.

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

From top down. I have a beard, and I use a hot brush to dry and straighten my beard so I don't use a towel on my face.
