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.

I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I've been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I'm cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I'm assuming it's change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I'm assuming it's change shoes. I guess maybe what I'm asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?

Why do you need shoes to Cook ( well one du, Imight be injured by a falling knife) also use commons sense, if I break glass, I would keep shoes until It's cleaned.

Garbage Day is like once a week, so not sûre why this example. If I go shopping, I take 30 seconds to pass a pair oh shoes. It's net that long

Wait, you keep your garbage inside until pickup day? That's gross.

As to cooking: hot oil or water, slipping and falling are much greater dangers. That said, I cook barefoot all the time.

I only fill up a trash bag maybe once every 2 weeks. I only take the can down once a month since there's so little waste. Between composting and recycling there's so little that actually gets thrown out.

I'm envious. My retired neighbour is like this. Me and my partner and our various animals produce so much waste, I can fill a "recycling" bin and most of a bag each week.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

But you don't take the compost or recycling out daily, either? I also compost and recycle, but rinsed recycling and cardboard are the only waste that stays inside overnight.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I have a closed 5gal bucket that I empty once a week and keep the recycling in spare cardboard boxes and take them down the street to the center whenever I get enough to fill my car

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You empty your garbage every single day? How small is your trash can? That's a lot of bags.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Five person household. By the end of the night, it's always at least three-quarters full. Plus, it beats attracting bugs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Five people makes a little more sense. Serious question, what kind of bugs does garbage attract where you live?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

fruitflies, houseflies, wasps

Edit: five people and four cats, we usually take the trash out right after scooping the litter in the afternoon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You keep the bag in the trash can until its full. Then you take it to the outside trashcan. On garbage day, you wheel that trashcan to the curb.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's how I do it, too.
