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'd expect the shortest day of the year to also be the coldest, with the coldest season of the year spreading out equally on both sides of it.

Seasons of Bergen, Norway:

December - February: Cold and dark and wet season. Stock up on antidepressants, good food, "Hygge"-paraphenelia, asthma medication and remain indoors.

March - mid-July: Cold and green season.

Mid-July: Summer!!!

Mid-July - August: "pretend it is still summer"-season. Yes, we can grill and drink beer in the garden dammit just put on an extra jacket.

September: Wet and windy season.

October - November: Soggy cold season. Shoes and jackets go to the Drying Rack, not on the regular rack.

addenum: june-august is also barely-nighttime season. Sun "goes down" at 22:00 and remains barely under the horizon until 04:00 so the sky just stays bright. Good luck explaining to your toddler that it is night and time to sleep.

Seasons in Texas:

June 5-October 25th: fuck you it's 100+° F / 38° C. Most non-native plants die if they receive direct sunlight all day. It's 85°F / 30°C at night.

October 26th - December 10th: fuck you it's 90° F / 32° C but also 40°F / 5°C in the morning; you'd better have 2 sets of clothes for the day

Dec 11th - Feb 28th: actually decent weather

March 1st - May 1: it's getting hotter but also raining a lot so it's muggy but the weather is still tolerable sometimes

May 2 - June 4: Hot and humid, sensory nightmare, air outside feels like your lungs have been filled with a damp blanket. 95+% humidity at all times.

Damn, that sounds a lot like Don't Starve Together seasons. How do you handle the human-size mosquitoes during the wet season though? 🤔

Remain indoors.
