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.

Vitamin D deficiency as well!

Nearly 42% of adults in the United States have a vitamin D deficiency. This figure rises to almost 63% in Hispanic adults and 82% in African American adults.

If your shadow is longer than you are tall, you are not getting enough ultraviolet radiation to produce vitamin D. You need about 15 minutes a day.

Some of the symptoms are fatigue and depression

I found out last doctor's appointment my vitamin d is insanely low so I started taking a supplement this week and it's made a world of difference already! Highly recommend trying it out if you feel burnt out and low energy all the time especially if you spend a lot of time inside. Its also relatively pretty cheap all things considered which is nice.

What is this shadow longer than your tall thing ? I have never heard of it lol . Can you explain how to check it or why it is a thing that happens and is real ?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Angle of the sun. Sunlight’s not intense enough for your skin to use the radiation to help generate the D.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think that's saying that if you go out at sunrise/sunset, the sun is on the horizon, and so your shadow will be a lot longer. In that scenario, you aren't getting enough UV to produce the vitamin D you need.

Still I don't understand does shadows have something to do with vitamin D ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

If you have a long shadow, the sunlight that gets to you has gone through much more atmosphere which attenuates the ultraviolet light. So at high/low lattitudes and during morning/evening hours the amount of uv that gets to the surface is much lower.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

A shallow angle from the sun give you that long shadow, but it also gives the light lots of extra air to pass through sideways on it's way down out of space. The extra air filters out more light, and without an intense enough light your skin won't make Vitamin D.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No. It means how high is the sun.

With booze and mushrooms and so.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And maybe a little weed, I heard sun Doesn't even need a lighter to light it so must be a pro at that .

Often caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals, which can be corrected with medicine.

Get diagnosed and take your meds. It’s a world of difference.

To be clear, this doesn't necessarily mean "get diagnosed for depression" either.

No, as others have suggested, get a blood test.

Accelerating depression was surprisingly a symptom of my cancer. So being depressed can also be a symptom of something far more serious than just depression.

My depression is still bad, but the difference between taking my cancer meds (not psychiatric meds) and not taking my cancer meds, is a world of difference, depression-wise.

This is very poor wording. Depression is one of the deadliest illnesses in young people.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Eh what about young people with stage 4 cancer ?

/s

I agree depression is serious but come on you know what they meant .
