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.

They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?

Maybe they're not mammal nipples, but happen to look like it.

Is there a lore reason why that mushroom has a nipple?

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

Where do you think orc milk comes from?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same place you get bull milk.

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

With that consistency I think the milk spoiled.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Boring answer:Because it's a game made by humans. Same reason the na'vi from avatar have boobs.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well they're an evolutionarily manufactured race, so likely the base template had them originally but post intervention they remained as a vestigial organ.

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

So... A lazy creator? That tracks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, what exactly would be the point of dedicating the effort to removing them?

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

Fair point. GW is notorious for the least effort possible, and then clawing for more from their willfully blithe fanbase. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lore hasn't clarified it officially but I suspect their nipples are just a specialized form of squig.

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

Because they collectively agreed that they should have them.

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

For the same reason why some of the Necrons have nipples: intimidation.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do Ork nipples also cut glass?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. For Orks, it's all about size and color.

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

Boss color iz yella, but yella nipple iz not lucky. Yella nipple iz most shot nipple. Iz mostly scar tissue now. Still yella.

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

what if the spores get thirsty?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

If Batman and Robin can have nipples, orks can have nipples too!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Which Ork models have nipples?

I can't say my knowledge of the current range is exhaustive, but I can't think of a single model that has one from the 1998 - 2016 era. There's a runtherd with a piercing where a nipple would be, but no nipple.
