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.

Usually the fifth finger- commonly called the little finger- sometimes called the pinky finger. If you happen to see a man with six fingers on his right hand, let me know?

but perhaps we're talking about toes?

What about someone with four fingers on their right hand?

A man with six fingers killed my father. I have been looking for him, is all. a person with four fingers... I guess it would depend on perspectives- was this four digit person born that way? or were they clumsy with a cleaver? Though... if it was a cleaver accident, or something... they can do wonderful things with toes, just saying.

As you wish. I was thinking that if my thumb would have to be taken off as a result of a redback spider bite, I would have to learn to handle a sword left handed.

(My thumb is getting better now, I was probably over-imagining the worst case scenario).

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

so... they can now take your big toe and use that as a thumb, maybe. Dunno if redback bites will allow that or not, but it's something they're doing now.

I realize it's "No stupid questions", but they should at least be coherent.

Digit of what?

[–] salarua@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago
[–] DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Is this a kōan? If not, we could make it one.

My dry take would be, it's commonly deemed the least significant one. Though, some cultures/languages might sort them somewhat arbitrarily. ... And how much final are we talking, anyway?

[–] Finkler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The one that gets you....

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Meho_Nohome@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

That's two digits.

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you're talking about the final digit of a number, it's the last character.

For example, In the number 8765, '5' is the final digit.
