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.

Boy, I love this sidelemmy. Never change.

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

…That’s enough Lemmy for today.

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 hours ago

Same, and I just opened it

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago

Did you really ask this after I posted a just posted a question about Germophobia?

😭

This universe gotta be trolling me.

I'm pretty sure the primary enzymes in saliva are amalyse and lipase. They start to break down starches and fats respective. You'd probably needs something that breaks down protiens to have any effect on your skin.

Or be mashed into a pulp so the lipase could get to work...

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

FWIW, saliva contains epidermal growth factor, which is actually good for the skin. It's one of the reasons the insides of our mouths heal so quickly.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 9 points 6 hours ago

Which is also why animals lick their wounds, I believe.

People are seriously downvoting a silly but innocent question posted here? 😭

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Because it's "no stupid questions".

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I thought this meant, there is no such thing as a stupid question, and you can ask whatever.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, that's possible, thanks.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Lmao was your previous comment genuine? I assumed it was some top tier sarcasm/wordplay

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 14 minutes ago* (last edited 14 minutes ago)

Uuuuh...
To be fair, I am dumb.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 8 hours ago

I'd drown in my own vomit before that happens.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 8 hours ago

That depends. Are you made of cotton candy?

Your mouth is full of spit 100% of the time and you aren't melting.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's not stomach acid. Hell, you can sort of use spit as lube, I am sure it's fine.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Masturbator here. Can confirm spit as lube.

[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

If it were a pool of e-girl saliva I would willingly drown before the saliva could melt me.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Please don't leave your dark cave.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

That's Dan Schneider level fucked up.
