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.

With my bathroom, the answer is simple. I would have to nail the bidet to the wall because of the lack of floor space, which would make it's use rather awkward.

[–] CephaloPOTUS@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All normal modern ones are just a simple toilet add on. Take up no space whatsoever.

[–] Treczoks@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

That's actually what we plan to use when we rework the bathroom. But there is no space for a separate bidet on the floor.

[–] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My bidet cost ~$30 and took about 20 minutes to install to my existing toilet using basic tools. It's great. I highly recommend it to anyone .

[–] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd recommend taking a look at your plumbing first lol. I love my bidet, but I was not prepared to have to replace the horribly shitty 30 year old corrugated water lines that my toilet was installed with. That fucker was welded to the valve so I had to shut the water off for the whole house to install a new valve as well.

Still with it though lol

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who the fuck welds the line to the valve. Jesus butt cracker corn barrel roll skippy peanut butter. I put splitter valves on all mine now so we can hook up washlets without stress. One line to the toilet tank, one line to the bidet tank. Easy peasy. Also I try to make sure they're those "only have to turn them a quarter turn and they're on/off" valves forget what they're called. This has been plumbing corner with dude who's on the turd hole all day

[–] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fucking beats me lmao. Also recently upgraded my kitchen faucet, but it was long enough after putting in my bidet that I completely forgot about then until I was about to the ten minute job of swapping them out. Took 4 hours cause I had to go back to the hardware store to get new valves and wrench the rusty as fuck old valves off. I would hate being a plumber lol

Also they're called "quarter turn valves" lol

Really? I'd've called em chazzwozzers

[–] EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is your toilet a urinal then? I imagine that's already awkward to shit in.

[–] Treczoks@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Well, the toilet is still a toilet, but there is no space to add a bidet, too.

But I'm thinking about getting a Japanese-style hightech toilet when we redo the bathroom. Which would have a bidet included.
