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'll start by saying that I'd get rid of the need to shit. I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that it's unpleasant.

Back pain is not painful anymore, but rather pleasant now

[–] radau@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 hours ago

That thing when you accidentally swallow the smallest amount of spit the wrong way and start coughing like mad

[–] cageythree@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 hours ago

Everyone's saying the need to sleep. That goes a bit too far IMO. Who knows it would work out as we think it to be? Maybe the 33% we sleep will just be reduced off our lifespan with nothing won.
Also, honestly, even if that wouldn't be the case - I wouldn't want to not sleep at all. It's like a regular break from life. Even if employers wouldn't exploit this, I don't want to be awake forever.

Now, here's my proposal: We still need to sleep, but we can control falling asleep and waking up like it's a muscle. Lay in bed and fall asleep anytime. No more falling-asleep issues for anyone, no more sleepless nights.
And also, we'd have a perfect inner clock and the ability to choose when we wake up. Fall asleep at 11 PM, have to get up at 7? Great, you know exactly when 8hrs are over and are able to just wake up, no alarm needed.

Surprised nobody said cell degradation.

You now can live for as long as you're not killed whilst physically keeping an appearance of an ~30 y.o. This also technically prevents cancer.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 4 points 8 hours ago

The "loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don't want it to grow" thing.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 points 9 hours ago

I’m pretty sure everyone can agree that it’s unpleasant.

I strongly disagree.

Personally I'd remove the need for sleep and effectively increase my lifespan by 3rd.

I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it's trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

My gut just wants beer right now.

Have an upvote 👍

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Remove the need to exercise, like an anaconda. The ability to just lay around doing nothing and still be ripped to the max. That would be cool!

Shitting feels good... I would just alter it so it doesn't smell bad, tastes like brownie batter, and isn't toxic.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Excuse me, I just farted. What the fuck did I just read? 😂🤣

Our dog is named Brownie, I'm not in any hurry to taste his batter.

Anyways, free upvotes for everyone today 👍

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

Senescence maybe?

[–] UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca 21 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

needing food. that would free up a lot of time and money, no input = no output. no dishes, no stove or fridge, no need for a dishwasher, then on the other end, no need for TP, or even a toilet!

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 6 points 18 hours ago

This was my comment. My dad and I felt that same way but my grandmother just couldn’t understand how we could.

If I never needed to eat, that’d be wonderful. No more getting fat ever again and I’d probably be 100 times healthier.

I would eliminate the ability for humans to reproduce.

Have you SEEN people?

Toenail growth.

Cutting nails is annoying, and toenails are awkward and stupid.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Required to grow so they recover from damage.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Following the spirit of my post, I would assume that toenails would no longer receive damage and would hopefully last through a person's lifetime.

Side thought, it would be nice if teeth didn't rot...

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Remove need to sleep. You would get ~33% more time every day.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 13 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I can't wait to work 24 hours a day! No pesky sleep getting in the way anymore.

We’d just be exploited for our labor 33% more.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.

Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can't stay underwater for long enough.

Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.

Who is Will, and what did he do?

😂🤣

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Eliminate the need to sleep.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

As others have mentioned:

Welcome to 24 hour work days...

Have an upvote regardless 👍

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Well you didn't say for everyone... So maybe he meant just for himself :)

Surprised nobody's mentioned adding a 2nd penis yet...

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You say that like you never logged into Reddit and saw the pre-Ai pics of the guy.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

What ever did happen with the dude that had an artificial replacement penis made on his left arm anyways?

Shit, it looked like it was totally ready for transplant to its final destination, but then COVID lockdown came along and surgery was postponed...

🤷‍♂️

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Some people don't even have a first penis ☹️

Have an upvote 👍

You could pre-empt the need to shit by not having to eat or drink. Honestly, when I lament humanity's weaknesses I eventually always come back to the fact that we're creatures in this universe that can only persist if we kill and eat other creatures. How would we be fundamentally changed if that were no longer true?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago

You could pre-empt the need to shit by not having to eat or drink.

Um, you know that your body expels more than digestion by-products through defecation, right? Where do you think dead blood cells go?

The other "noble ape" shit I'm not touching.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 6 points 19 hours ago

Sneezing/snot production. Sure, it can feel amazing. But the sudden urgency to stop everything I'm doing and focus on my nose or risk a disgusting eruption of green mucus all over my face in a public setting is something I could do without.

Also, I'm waiting for someone with medical knowledge to come in here and mention Prions or something else silently devastating to the body.
