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.

it's like degaussing your cranium.

If it smells like decomposing calcium, you have tooth decay and should see a dentist. Most sneezes don't smell.

You guys have a smell after you sneeze? I just feel pain throughout my body after them sometimes.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 23 points 22 hours ago

I don't smell anything after I sneeze... You should probably check with a doctor to make sure you don't have an infection.

Tonsil stones?

[–] Toes@ani.social 1 points 12 hours ago

Get that checked out.

Only time I have a post sneeze smell is when I have a nosebleed about to start.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 1 points 12 hours ago

You either have tonsil stones or a chronic sinus issues. Talk to an actual doctor.

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

This is so fascinating because yeah, a sneeze isn't supposed to smell, this is entirely unrelatable to me.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 10 points 22 hours ago

Boogers. It’s when you realize you can smell boogers.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

I can't describe it, but I know EXACTLY what you mean.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

I always wonder if things always smell this way and the sneeze just removed what was covering it up from my nose.

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 16 hours ago

gasoline, but less colorful

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

How often do you brush your teeth? Maybe the sneeze is drawing in mouth-air?

[–] NachBarcelona@piefed.social 1 points 17 hours ago

Blood and brain.
