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.

My mother was reminiscing about things we miss from the past. One thing she mentioned was Shocktarts. She loved Shocktarts! One of the few things she indulged in.

Recently, she got my nieces Christmas candy, and it included rainbow sour strips of some kind. Uncharacteristically, she ate a whole pack by herself.

I'd like to get some good sour candies. They have to actually be sour!!!!! Any recommendations welcome!

Although do note that candys whose main feature is "being sour" then fading after 4 seconds are not what I'm looking for.

Thank you! (:

Many moons ago, when I was a little kid there was a candy shop that made the best salt water taffies. If you could find something like that, I would suggest that. Maybe the local bakery?

....saltwater taffy isn't sour, is it..?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Depends on the flavor. It isn't sour in and of itself, but I have had some pretty sour flavors of saltwater taffy.

I also was a big fan of the blue sour punch straws but am not sure if they changed their flavor over the last twenty or so years lol it seems like a lot of sour candies have so that may be something to watch out for.

The ones I'm remembering were in many flavours. I do believe apple sour was a choice.

Why is your name "Toes" with an emoji of jesus on the cross?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

an emoji of jesus on the cross

lmao is that how it displays on your device? It's the symbol from the 1700s to represent Venus and femininity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_symbol

Why is your name “Toes”

I became transfixed with the way they wiggle at an early age.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 days ago

So wait.....are you saying you're a female who likes toes? Or you're someone who's fixated on female toes?

Because I'm a guy. My toes are hairy. Well, the tops anyways.
