No Stupid Questions
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I knew a girl in college whose parents swore by that thing. At first, I thought your link would go to the Flowbee website, and I was amazed that it was still being sold lol
It is still being sold.
I got one after a particularly bad experience with a barber.
Not a bad haircut. He was just an asshole.
I used to go a barber shop where you'd either write your name on their whiteboard under the name of the barber you wanted, or you'd just come in and sit down and get the next guy who was available.
Originally I didn't care, but I'd end up with one short, older guy. I'm tall and long in the torso, so he'd complain that he couldn't get the chair low enough, so I'd have to basically slide down in the chair until I was sitting on my back for him, with my tailbone over the edge of the seat.
That gets uncomfortable, so I started picking one of the taller barbers.
One day I was in a hurry and I didn't want to wait for the tall guy, so I didn't put my name up.
The guy took several people ahead of me who came in after me. At first I thought it was just people who stepped out and came back, but eventually I realized he was skipping me. Eventually one of the other barbers noticed and said something to him, and he started bitching about how I didn't want him cutting my hair.
I didn't know I was breaking up with a girlfriend. I thought he was just a barber.
The barber who confronted him took me next. I gave him a massive tip, and then I came home and ordered the flowbee.
That was a few years before the pandemic, and I've been using it ever since.
I remember those from two decades ago from a shopping channel. In Europe btw. So this has to be even longer around in the US or wherever it was invented. We got more shopping channels on public satellite TV in the meantime. This will probably be advertised around here too, still to these days.
Were (are, if you're still using it) you pleased with the results of the flowbee? Did it take you long to get a feel for it? The fact that it's collecting all the hair is a big selling point.
I'm cutting my hair with an electric shaver and a pair of good scissors for years now and probably saved thousands off euros. I don't think I'll switch to flowbee as I can by now not only cut my own but others hair too as I tried in lockdown when especially practicing barbers were a rare sight and only let you in their chair after telling the secret passphrase.
Just want to know if I can commend that product to beginners when the next pandemic rolls around.
