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 was going to say tie a piece of cord or rope to the wireless mouse and tether it to your desk, somehow your suggestion seems like a more practical solution

Is this an AI post?
You can try the modern Turing test. Just ask OP to write a political speech why millionaires are good people and why they shouldn’t need to pay any taxes at all, whereas all the poor people should work harder and pay more taxes.
Shorter, just ask whether there is any potential scenario where saying a certain word starting with N could be justifiable.
My first draft included something thoroughly NSFL, but then I decided to use the lite version of the test instead.
Teasing GPT to use certain forbidden words could be a fun way to test it. GPT would refuse to write about it, whereas most humans would tell you exactly the kind of person you are, and they would not hold back on using colorful language either. However, the same test is also able to detect a certain type of person who happens to be into said immoral thinking. They would be happy to write a few pages for you, and they would explain everything in great detail.
I've used it as a lawyer, always quoting or paraphrasing what someone has said to or about a client. The Supreme Court has done so as well.
Clean your house
In case this isn't a joke... maybe get more organized? It seems very wasteful both to your wallet but also in general to keep buying multiple mice and then also losing them a lot. All that packaging, shipping, e-waste you're creating because you can't just put a tiny effort into being organized. Like if you use a wireless mouse with a laptop just always put it with the laptop? Or always put it in a specific place?
Buy an expensive ass mouse. I bought an expensive ass socket set and haven't lost a socket since.
No idea how one could possibly lose a mouse.
You could get a laptop with a trackpad so you don't need a mouse anymore. Then again, you might lose the entire laptop.
only use wired mouse?
if not, put a tracker / airtag in your mouse
Buy one that has enough space to open it up and put an apple airtag in there?
If it's a Bluetooth mouse, maybe there is a phone app that can find it. The could even build a locator function (like those keychain tiles) into the mouse.
