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.

Because slippers are so much comfier and easier to take off when you want to lay down on the couch/go to bed and don't have to take shoes off to put other shoes on when going outside.

Slippers are terrible. They are floppy, and i have to keep my toes curled to keep them from falling off.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Sounds like you need better slippers

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't have slippers, and my shoes are pretty comfy. If I want to lay on a bed, I'll take my shoes off, it's not hard. I use the same inside and outside shoes, cos I'm way to fking lazy to swap shoes when going in and out, if I had to then I wouldn't wear shoes inside. I'm not saying you should, so please don't reply with 40 paragraphs about why I shouldn't.

I just assumed you meant you had separate outside shoes and indoor shoes since you said "they aren't getting dirty" in your original comment.

If you're walking around your house with shoes you walk around outside in the yes, they are getting dirty. Even if you just use them to walk from your front door to your car and your car to your office.

I can't imagine walking around in my house in my shoes that I go to my office in, they get dirty enough without doing that.

Not saying you should change what you're used to, just saying that's definitely not the norm from where I live and can't imagine a situation where that wouldn't result in daily floor cleaning.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Over here there really isn't anything that would make shoes visibly dirty. The only time is when there's tonnes of rain and I take shoes off when that happens. Do you live in an area where it snows or is muddy? Those are the only reasons for needing to clean the floor often I can think of .

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I live in Canada where it does snow in the winter so you have water/salt concerns but even in the summer there is still the risk of dusty dirt coating the bottom of your shoes and other random things, like bugs you step on, gum, gasoline at the gas station, a muddy puddle, etc.

I travel a lot for work and I even take my shoes off before walking around in my hotel room 😂 just a culture thing I guess.
