No Stupid Questions
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.

What? This is like asking people if they wear a coat inside the house.
We have outside clothes and we have inside clothes, and the outside clothes are not worn inside, because they're outside clothes.
Yeah? Why would I want mud and dirt tracked into my carpet?
I grew up in a shoes inside, coats inside house. To see this much shock at both is kinda crazy to me, didn't realize it was so uncommon.
I’m so confused. Why would you track all that shit into your house?
I still wear a light jacket inside often as I keep the place between 60-65. Stopped wearing shoes inside as I hate cleaning. That's how I was raised though, and wearing shoes inside isn't terribly uncommon here. Maybe it's a regional thing, maybe a class thing, but people asking you to take off your shoes when you visit is way less common than not. I have to ask people to take off their shoes when they come over and it's considered bougie.
Interesting. Here in France the "bourgeois" thing is usually to not have your guests take their shoes off inside (because you're not the one doing the cleaning later)
Ya might be interested to know that "bougie" is an American slang term pronounced "boo-zhee" that refers to someone acting high class that isn't. That's really interesting though, how common are housekeepers in France?
Bougie is derived from bourgeoisie, and would mean the same thing, as in a bourgeoisie would let you walk in the house with dirty shoes since he's the lord of the manor and cleaning is why he has servants.
Yeah that's where it's derived but the connotations are a little different.
Old-timey style housekeepers are basically only a thing for the ultra rich, but hiring someone to clean your house and/or do some laundry is quite common in the upper middle class
Oh wow. That’s interesting as hell to me. Are you in America? I was born in Midwest lived in south and back in Midwest. I had one friend whose house I didn’t have to take shoes off at and I uh didn’t cause their carpet was gross… lol
Yeah I'm in the US, fahrenheit probably gives that away, always lived in more rural communities too.
