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.

Aren't those bacteria important for gut health? I remember reading "Gut" by Julia Enders and keeping those bacteria balanced plays a huge role in digestion.
Absolutely and their role is getting recognised more and more. That's why fecal transplants and special "gut bacteria growth diets" are becoming more and more important.
Could the patient save some poop (like in the freezer) to avoid having to do a poop transplant from someone else?
Yeah, Autotransplantation is far more common, actually.
That's a little scary as I'm reaching the age where I should soon start getting colonoscopies. I don't want to screw anything up by killing all the bacteria. Though I guess it beats not knowing if something is seriously wrong down there.
I also spent years cultivating these bacteria eating stuff all over the world.
Getting a colonoscopy doesn't involve ridding the colon or rectum of bacteria.
Normal colonoscopy will not kill your gut bacteria - just don't eat garbage after it. Amongst others your Appendix will help.
I forgot about the appendix. I feel better now knowing my bacteria have a safe place to hunker down. :)
FWIW, colonoscopies are no big deal. Sucks drinking the potion and blowing your guts out, all while starving for a day, but the procedure is kinda fun.
They lay you down, pump some pasty white in your IV. And you wake up stoned as balls and ready for mass food intake! (Yes, someone has to drive you home, I really mean you'll be stoned.)
And for anyone who's read this far alone: Do NOT shave your asshole. I was trying to make a presentable ass, like medical pros give a fuck, and shaved my hole and cheeks quite nicely.
And then the shitting potion hit. My. Gods. I was naked in bed, holding my burning cheeks apart, shaking all over. Picture working your crack over, all the way to the taint, with 220-grit sandpaper. Nothing too crazy, just enough to skin that top layer down to the pink.
Wife: What can I do?!
"Get Michelle! Fucking go get MICHELLE NOW!!!"
Wife: But you're naked and sweating..."
"NURSE NOW!"
Michelle was the nurse next door. She got me some Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Works for diaper rash, worked for me.
