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 remember way back when I had a girlfriend (13MtF). I was 14. She didn't snore that loud when I slept over, but she would definitely snore. It just came to mind and made me wonder if it's normal to do so at 13.

why specify MtF in this context, the girlfriend is just F, that doesn't really require qualifying does it?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Why not? They felt comfortable sharing something, there's no reason they shouldn't, why do you have a problem with it?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 hours ago

Is it normal for young people to have sleep apnea, asthma, or allergies? I shouldn't have to sketch this out for you to draw a conclusion. People of all ages have various conditions.

This is like that doctor telling John Green "sneezing isn't normal. I never sneeze." Snoring is normal and probably good for you. When most people are dreaming deeply, they snore. It's just how we're built.

When I was a teenager all my mates complained that I snored really loud. Then I got diagnosed with severe sleep apneoa in my late 20's

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 15 points 21 hours ago

Yes. Totally normal to have regular mild snoring at any age.

Intensity matters.

Light snoring is no biggie and 100% normal.

When it's moderate or heavy then it's worth getting checked. If breathing pauses, esp. Followed by a fit, then it's disorder (apnea). You'll still need to do testing and work with a doctor.

There are also several reflux conditions that can result from nicotine/alcohol use which all together may worsen snoring, cause daytime mucus buildup (hacking), and/or cause apnea.

If breathing pauses, esp. Followed by a fit, then it's disorder (apnea).

Only if it happens frequently enough. Apparently, having this happen a few times a night is normal for healthy people.

That's insane! But good add.

My cat snores at us when we're in bed, just because we're in bed. He's not even asleep. The bastard. I don't snore that loud.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago

normal but can be a sign of sleep issues

[–] SonofaBixcuit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

I think it's normal.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I snore but I have sleep apnea, maybe get that checked if you also have poor sleep
