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.

How do these companies come to that conclusion? I think most people start to smell after only 24 or 48 hours max so how do these companies get 72 hours out of their testing?

Im assuming they're fudging their numbers but at what point does it become false advertisement?

I'm willing to bet their diet plays a huge role in the smell factor, especially in their localities. It seems like anyone with a western, especially American, diet, has a propensity to smell less that fresh on lieu of daily hygiene.

makes sense.

I've switched between a lot of different diets, and anecdotally meat, alcohol, and sugar play a huge role in how bad i and my byproducts smell.

my byproducts

Just might be my first time reading that phrase

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I had to think it up a little earlier since I was talking about this an hour before I saw this post or so with someone else and didn't want to keep repeating less polite terms.

It's upsetting in its own way though, isn't it?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alcohol was my big one, especially as I get older. Quality of meat makes a big difference too, I found there's a huge contrast between fast food burgers and quality steak in terms of red meat.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i hear you, fast food meat doesn't even taste like meat to me at this point, it's so clearly the lowest common denominator of protein.

I've eaten rat, snake, crocodile, everything i can try, but the most recent time i can remember my stomach feeling rough after eating was the last time I ate McDonald's years ago on a whim; I felt greasy, logy and nauseous almost immediately after eating it.

like I was poisoned or something.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Indeed. I haven't had a McDonald's burger in probably 15 years, last I had one was the same deal. I'll eat Carl's Jr in a pinch, but that's about it, and even then I feel pretty crappy afterwards.
