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.

I'm not about the percentage, but due to lead's toxicity it is probably more important to avoid touching or breathing in funes from lead soldier as much as possible. Beyond that wearing proper gloves and masks to avoid inhaling fumes will be safer than touching it and trying to wash it off.

Whatever other steps you take, stop licking the soldering iron.

Only lick the soldering iron when it's turned on. That way, the ouchies from the heat cancel out the ouchies from the lead poisoning. Trust me, I'm an expert at licking things other people say shouldn't be licked

Hey siri, how do I arouse a soldering iron?

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 2 points 1 week ago

Shove some electricity up the arse, works on mine.

I've heard that one set of nerves registers the ouchies from heat, and a separate set of nerves registers the ouchies from the lead poisoning... So you actually get hellfire ouchies instead of them cancelling out.

The fumes are from the flux, if you're evaporating lead your iron is a few thousand degrees too high.

Still shouldn't breathe that, but that's also true for lead-free solder

But it tastes so sweet!
