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.

personally yes but I feel like we'd probably be weird about people who want to eat it like we are with breast milk. like I'd imagine humans would reserve it for feeding infants like how birds do with their regurgitated food.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuchikamizake

Kuchikamizake (口噛み酒; mouth-chewed sake) or kuchikami no sake (口噛みの酒) is a type of sake produced by a process involving human saliva as a fermentation starter.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

ohh this is the thing they do in the Your Name anime

[–] Southsamurai@reddthat.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

That's a misleading description of what bees do.

That being said, if we could actually make honey that way, id be making my own and be happy with it

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Would you eat cheese if it were made from human milk?

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

breast milk flavored ice cream was a thing, and is still available.

sadly human milk products are illegal for sale.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

I wouldn't say sadly. Alowing human milk products to be sold would be risking a lot of infectious diseases to be spread.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The human rights violations are pretty staggering, too.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There wouldn't have to be violations. I wasn't thinking about industrial scale.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The closest analogue we normally have is a wet nurse, and most people don't like that idea. How would you feel if your mother/sister/daughter was one? Then make it worse, because there's profit to be had by bottling it instead of just feeding someone else's child. You don't need to scale at all before it becomes a problem.

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

If my mother/sister/daughter was a wet nurse, I'd have zero problems with it if they did it by their own choice. Same as if they were able to bottle and sell their own breastmilk for a couple extra bucks, kinda like how people are able to donate blood or plasma or semen for a little money sometimes.

Provided it's not being abused and they are not enslaved or abused into doing it, I don't see a problem with it

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

animal milk isn't allowed to be sold raw either. it has to be pasteurized or ultra pasteurized.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Right, but pasturized doesn't mean 100% sterile. Thats ok, because diseases don't spread as much across different species. Most cow diseases don't affect humans. But with milk produced by the same animal that consumes it that's a different case.

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

And more slavery

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I love eating girls out, is it really worse ?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 3 weeks ago

I'll be honest, it likely depends on the social connotations of doing so. It feels on the same level of would I drink human milk and could I tell which milk was made from a set of three friends.

[–] Zomg@piefed.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

That's someone's fetish for sure ..

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

is beeplay like petplay for polycules?

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is someone who understands

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 weeks ago

If I was a bee I would.

[–] Melobol@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

Don't look up how traditional honey-mead are made...

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't stand honey. It smells like when people sneeze, so I have never wanted to even taste it. So I guess bee phlegm and human phlegm smell the same to me?

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

you can smell sneezes? or taste them?

wild.

I've had my dog sneeze in my mouth, but it didn't have a flavor or a smell.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Would it be "delicious?"

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

If it was delicious and sanitary I don’t see why not

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Probably not because that sounds gross

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Depends on whether or not it tasted as good as honey. Even honey itself can taste wildly different, depending on what pollen was gathered by the bees to make it. Clover honey is the most common I see, but blackberry honey tastes even better IMO.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well I already find honey disgusting so that’s a hard no for me.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch -5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

It’s a hard no from me.

Honestly being vegan I don’t understand how people aren’t bothered by cow’s breast milk or chicken’s eggs; y’all just nasty.

[–] remon@ani.social 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

How is it more nasty than eating plant feet and genitalia?

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I eat meat, lots of it. also because we eat to survive, not to appease our feelings.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 3 weeks ago

we eat to survive

Oh you must live in the Arctic Circle or similar where there’s essentially no plants.
