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 say, 30 is the age where you have to decide which one you like more: tying your shoelaces or hamburgers.

I chose the latter.

Now I'm almost 44 and even undoing them feels too hard. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I have two sets of indoor slippers, so don't really wear shoes inside per say... though one of the slippers does close around feet somewhat like a shoe.

Sometimes the old dog makes a boo boo.

This is most common in the US. At any point, a policeman might barge into your house, shoot yout dog and start looking for something else to shoot. If you're wearing shoes already, you've got a head start and a chance to live.

I just forget to take them off

Having said that in my country it's normal to wear house shoes in the house.

Why do people go barefoot in public

Why do people wear shoes in the office

Why dont3 I ask women if they're pregnant

Because arbitrary customs that exist which might have a good reason behind them but largely have become things that are considered polite or rude, both of which are societal concepts which themselves are worthy of questioning

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Because in public, the ground is probably more gross than your feet (dogshit, car oil), but in your home, your shoes are probably more gross than your own feet.

Similarly, in public, seeing other people's feet is gross. But not as much at home.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Bro the dirt under your shoes don't give af whether you're being polite about going inside the house with them or not

  1. Because they've given up on life.

  2. Because everyone else wear shoes in the office. That being said. I don't wear shoes in my office. Because no one does. (It's also a small office)

  3. I don't know why YOU don't. I don't Because it's none of my business and the risk of being wrong heavily outweights the reward of being right.

It's not arbitrary. If you start wearing shoes inside the floor will get dirtier. And now I can't not wear them because I will get dirt all over my socks from the dirt the shoe wearer tracked inside.

Office workers might have to move around and walk a lot. Shoes help with that. It's the exact reason we invented them in the first place.

Just because you don't know, doesnt mean it's arbitrary

You don't know why you don't ask women if they're pregnant?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

You don't know why people wear shoes in the office?

New to lemmy?

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

You tryin' to tell me what to do in my own home? Pssh.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Well, personally, I have foot problems, so walking barefoot is painful. So I wear flip flops around the house.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because sometimes the dogs bring in goatheads ๐Ÿ™ƒ
