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.

A stuffed fart or fart with a tail.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Played the trump card early.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean....it's a fairly recent addition. In fact I think you may have coined it right here.

Also, I'm stealing that.

I think I did. If there's a prior source out there, I might have heard and forgotten it though. Happy to share in either case.

I remember in hs, freshman year, physical ed was a required course, and I was one of the guys who hated it. We'd run like 4 laps around the track, then up and down the bleachers, almost every day for a 'warm up'.

So me and some old faces, some new, start lazy-assing around the track. Technically we are jogging, just. Like 6 of us. PE was our first class of the day and it was regular that someone didn't have time that morning and would have to go take a shit. Coach was always annoyed but what you gonna do.

Well one day, we are jogging, and... Emmanuel? 'mini' if I remember right. He starts making noises, like, devastating noises. We are on like lap 2 of 4 and we slow down, even for our usual pace, so we can all stick together.

And then it happens.

He makes this wet, sloshing noise, and we fucking stop. And we all look at him, and he said 'oh fuck, I think I sharted'. Omfg the mix of hilarity, fear, and pity, as he starts waddling down towards the building, and the coach is like 'the fuck' and is then informed of the situation. He was not annoyed that day, not that time.

Mini, if you're reading this, you seemed like a cool dude. And you left a great memory in the brains of several that day.

This post negates every single one of all those other posts that say "don't worry, nobody ever remembers that one really embarrassing thing you did back in school."

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, some of us never forget and fondly remember every embarrassing moment we've witnessed, thankfully most of us know to not bring it up and just enjoy it to ourselves.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

And this memory is rather clear, even though it occurred in the fall of 2007.

We definitely remember shit (heh) like this.

[–] paraplu@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

The closing paragraph kind of undercuts that though. Like people may remember, but they'll think you're cool.

The takeaway is clearly to shart in public if you want people to look up to you.

Gambled and lost.

Da kam Land mit = that came with soil
Schurz = shart

Feuchter Furz - wet fart

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I'm not from Britain but I've heard the phrase "touching cloth" from over there.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is it touching cloth more like when you really really need to go and have been holding it for a long time?

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's correct. In this scenario there is still time

I'm not a UK native, so that's very likely, I always thought it was just any situation where your poo is touching your underwear.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

"A man of the cloth", or "touching socks"

One is more disastrous than the other.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a comedy called A Touch of Cloth, it's written by Charlie Brooker

"I want that report on my table first thing tomorrow morning, Cloth"

"But sir-"

"On my table, Cloth!"

[–] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've called that either prairie-dogging or turtle-heading

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fart with gravy??? Oh man. Please never invite me to Thanksgiving dinner at hour house!!! At the very least my potatoes will be DRY!

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Péter au jus" for a French spin on it.

[–] NachBarcelona@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Funnily enough, Peter is the German version of Pierre.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Both names come from the same word (Petrus or Petros meaning rock). As you might expect, German "fist" and French "péter" for "fart" are distant cousins too: "pezd-" -> "fistiz" -> "vist" -> "fist" or "pezd-" -> "peditum" -> "pét" -> "péter".

[–] NachBarcelona@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I love etymology! In terms of PIE that means that in "Peter farted five times during fisting.", 4 words have the same root.

[–] alina@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

🥺🥺🥺

[–] MyFriendGodzilla@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It "was a bit wet", or "I sharted"

[–] alina@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wow, I didn't know😍

We call it a wet fart, or say it came with the shaft

Ä furz mit fransle

A fart with a fringe

[–] theforkcode@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I sharted in maths once, had to walk all the way home holding my wet trousers away from my arse. Good times!

[–] alina@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I only sharted at home when I was sleeping. All my other stories are about peeing, unfortunately. Sometimes I just want a little warmth again😔

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

they farted with splashes/droplets

(kinda, hard to translate, the original is "s-a bășit cu stropi")

Hilarious! if you don't mind me asking, what is the country of origin?

[–] ambitious_bones@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Germany. More common in middle and northern part of the country I think.

[–] Jojowski@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

"it came with the shaft" (shaft as in the stick of a shovel or a broomstick)
