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 put my lighter and guitar picks there. I sometimes put my ring in there, too. And flash disks, memory cards... Wow, I just realized I use that section for real.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Sometimes I put my thumb in it when I don't know what to do with my hands.

Pocket watch. Isn't that the intended purpose of the small pocket?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It is called a Watch Pocket or a Fob Pocket.

[–] cartography_cat 9 points 6 months ago

Daily- I put my rings in it when I take them off to cook or whatever.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Not the small pocket on jeans, but I do have some pants and shorts that have a small pocket fully inside the other pocket that I like to put my keys in

Keeps them from rattling around and scratching things

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Bike key or coins. We call them coin pockets for a reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I put cool rocks in there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Jesus Christ, Marie, they're not rocks, they're minerals!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Change, or a hairtie

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

All the time for my lactose intolerant pills

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Every time I unintentionally find it. Mostly for being annoyed at it even being a feature.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I have a pen knife I use for work. It's an excellent fit for the coin pocket

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Used to be for drugs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I don't use a wallet and put my bank card and id card in it, I don't need anything else

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

My biggest test for wireless earbuds is if the case is small enough to fit in that pocket. The usefulness of that is incredible, it's like they're not there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Another vote for earbuds.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

loose gummi bears

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I'd put a penny in there so that the pocket has a use. Otherwise, nothing.

Maybe next time an onion.

I use it for a small pocket knife I always carry with me.
Also fits a vape, a lighter, your house key (when you want to go out with nothing else on you), a couple guitar picks, or a few coins if you use one of those fancy new wallets that only hold cards and bills.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I put my key in there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

In my younger days of hitting the club, I would use it every time I went out. Wallet in right back pocket, lip gloss in small pocket.

I never use it now. Now it's wallet in left back pocket, phone in right back pocket, keys in right front pocket, earbuds in left front pocket. If I'm working and wearing cargo pants, work gloves go in left back pocket and wallet shifts to a more secure left leg pocket, pens and box cutter in right leg pocket.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Box cutter for work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Extra weed cart.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh, second post: Steve Jobs taught us that that's where you put your iPod Nano.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

God i loved that thing. Simple and effective. Easy to use for sports or just hanging out. Im sad mine isint working anymore, i tried reviving it but alas, it's light never blazed again.

[–] bardm 2 points 6 months ago

I use it every day for a small Swiss army knife.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Micro fiber cloth for glasses and screens

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Every day, for my in-ear headphones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I keep quarters there; Iike to shoot pool in bars. Also my wedding ring when I take it off to wash my hands, cook, or do other work I don't want to wear it for.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I usually use it to hold a pocketknife or change

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I used it for my earbuds case for a long time. I don't buy many pairs of jeans and wore the same pair for most of the pan (I didn't leave home for more than a couple hours of walking and listening to podcasts most days, so they only got washed sporadically). It eventually wore through and frayed. I'll probably resume that usage when it gets warm enough not to carry a hoodie.

I carry a small stone cicada in mine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Sometimes I'll toss a Zippo lighter in there if I'm going out drinking or something. Otherwise, it's unused. My pockets only have my wallet (which has its own change purse), my phone, and a handkerchief (living in hot and humid areas means lots of sweat wiping). Keys get clipped to a belt loop. I'm generally not carrying anything else and it will likely end up in a bag of some sort if I am (especially when I lived down in Tokyo and was away from home generally unless sleeping and was taking public transit).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That's where I keep my pocket knife.

Back before smart phones, I also kept my Motorola Razr in there because it was just small enough to fit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Zippo lighter, to light my to-go joints. Sometimes a pen but most of my pants it's too short and it looks silly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Plastic toothpicks

[–] SomeAmateur 1 points 6 months ago

All the time now! When I bought my flashlight (Sofirn SC-21) I learned that it fits perfect so that's where it goes now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I used to only use it for random change I'd get on the rare occasion I'd pay for something with cash. Nowadays it's always filled with dog treats since my dog is nearly always with me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t it called the condom pocket for a reason?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Also called a coin pocket

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Clip my pocket knife in it
