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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Whats weird is, unrelated to the pandemic, I always buy the massive pack of toilet paper. I think it's like 28 rolls. And I had bought that JUST before all the panic. It's just how I naturally do this. Buy the big one, and like a year later it runs out.
Then the panic starts, and my mom calls, and says "I was out shopping and picked you up some toilet paper, in case you need it!"
"Oh, I'm good. I just bought some."
"Just take the damn toilet paper! These shelfs are empty! You don't know when you'll get some!"
Gives me ANOTHER of the same size I just bought.
Then my dad calls.
"Hey, I know you sometimes have trouble finding time to go grocery shopping, so I got you some toilet paper. These stores are going crazy!"
"Oh, no no. I have more then enough."
"I already bought it, and I don't think you can return toilet paper."
Gives me a 16 roll pack.
Then my sister calls.
"Heeeeeey, I was out at Costco earlier, and these stores are running out of toilet paper. Luckily I got each of us a 60 roll pack."
"Nooooooo.......I have so much as it is! Mom AND dad gave me a bunch."
"Well I don't have room in my house for all this! I got one for you, and one for (other sister), and one for mom!"
gives me 60 more rolls
Then my other sister calls.
"Heeeeey, so (first sister) got me 60 rolls of toilet paper. I don't like the costco brand. So I'm giving it to you."
"You know she already got me one, rigUS #+ "Well I don't like it. So now its yours."
gives me ANOTHER 60 rolls
Then my aunt called.
"Hey do you need toilet paper?"
"NO!"
"Geez, don't get mad at me! I'm just helping you out. Take this, and only use it for emergancies."
gives me a 4 roll pack
I still have a decent amount of toilet paper. Both 60 packs remain unopened. I haven't looked in that closet to see exactly where I am, but I think I'm at like 60% unused.
Damn. I wonder how many other people still have toilet paper from the pandemic. Maybe if toilet paper companies are still seeing a slight dip in demand from people using up their backup reserves
Bruh, your family is the reason it got emptied 😂
I'm not sure whether I'm envious of your familial connections or glad I avoided similar ones.
