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.

European?
Could just have parents that chose not to permanently disfigure their child.
Outside flaps are for wind and water resistance. Inside flaps are to prevent snagging and abrasion.
Adding to this: Cold air going through an unprotected pant zipper is understandably less feared than skin entanglement, but it is still extremely unpleasant.
I always freak out that I'm dangling any time a brisk wind finds its way through there.
Shrinkage is no joke!
It shrinks?
It catches the flap, the underwear, your pubes, or your skin. Your choice.
I think you mean: "How the hell did you get the beans above the frank?"
Hey, it's the guy from the Yahoo! seasons of Community!
You've clearly got something to figure out for yourself. So just do whatever will help you figure it out. Your answer isn't online or via other people.
Go experiment.
I mean, I honestly didn't consider the flap was protecting me from catching the zipper on the clothing underneath.
But, that said, the flap is MUCH closer to the zipper than my shirt. So, it's like:
With Flap:
Chance of zIpper catching on shirt: 0%
Chance of zipper catching on flap: 30%
Without flap:
Chance of zIpper catching on shirt: 5% Chance of zipper catching on flap: 0%
Some experimentation may need to be conducted.
Chance of zipper catching on your dick: Way too fucking high to risk it. (Unless you're female)
Ah, that makes sense.
But what if I hotglued a thin piece of plastic or cardboard to that flap so it would be impossible to catch? Probably not great for the laundry machine, but my coats rarely get washed--seem to be rain jackets in particular with this problem.
This might be a stupid suggestion, but I have had habits and techniques I just never questioned – if this is a regular problem and not just some few items (some zippers are just shitty, I get that), have you tried changing your technique? Like pulling the end of the zipper down until it's under a bit of tension with one hand and then pulling the actual zipper thingy away from the flap while closing the zipper with the other hand. That usually works for me.
