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.

For a second, I thought "maybe they indicate which bits of the braille are relevant" and then I took a long walk and thought about my life choices.

They're comparing to the actual medication to make sure they're giving you the right thing.

Ahh, so it's like they're reading from the order/prescription, and say "ok he needs pregabalin - tick - and it's 150mgs - tick - and it's hard capsules - tick", or something to that effect?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's comments like this that almost make me miss reddit gold

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup. Medication can have pretty similar names for wildly different drugs, so just doing a little due diligence to make sure you don't grow a third ear or something

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 11 points 1 day ago

It is so bad that there is literally a publication of frequently confused drug names (pdf).

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Package size as well

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 2 days ago (4 children)

maybe I'm just a pervert, but all that text is aggressively sexual

what I'm saying is I'm ready to take Dr. Reddy's hard, red pregabalin capsules

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"You'll be pregabalin' these capsules"

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dr. Reddy's hard, bulbous, throbbing capsule will take away your anxiety.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

yes, yes I would imagine 🥵

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What if they make you pregananant?

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

yes, I do ☺️

[–] deceased@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

Get Pregabalin with Dr Reddys 150mg hard capsules

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 19 points 2 days ago

Part of their QA process to check against name and dosage of the drug to another form they are referecing

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is there a “Postgabalin”?

[–] orhtej2@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 day ago

There's gabapentin from the same group.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Read it as "Preg-a-bailin" and thought it was highly insensitive.

Pregabalin is quite nice. Would love to have some again.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Had some to help with pain but it didn't really had any effect

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Vor pain really? I found it more of nice chill mellow mood alteration.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Idk why my dr gave me this one It was supposed to help with my nerve pain, but it didn't really

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

TIL brand name pregabalin still exists.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a generic for Lyrica.

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damn. Yeah, it is. Didn't think I'd ever be able to forget some of that stuff. Glad to be wrong, though

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Right on. Don't worry, this won't be on the exam. 😁
