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.

Its flawed but a decent screener. Follow up with a blood test if you are concerned. BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle/fat and some people can have a high BMI but be metabolically perfectly healthy-others not so much. Its a very wide spectrum that needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. Also fat tissue (adipose) is involved in much more than just energy storage, its quite active in inflammation, metabolism and disease processes. Source: I did my MSc on obesity and gut health. Bonus fun fact: theres no standard definition of "high fat diet", many meta analyses are comparing wildly different diets to draw some pretty "interesting" conclusions!
A diet high in fat can be healthy. Imagine someone eating a couple avocados every day and saying they are being unhealthy. Eating fat does not make you fat. The low fat craze I believe started in the 90s and has continued. You know what they generally replace the fat with to make the food taste good? Sugar. Sugar is terrible for you. Far worse than fat.
I didn't mean this as an attack on you personally I just want to get this low-fat shit out of people's brains.
Again, its a spectrum. It depends on calorie density and types of fat, how you react to it. There are absolutely certain types that are straight up bad, some can be good.
