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 have the magical ability to get nose bleeds spontaneously, and often enough that the school nurse saw me in the hallway of the school's office building today and knew exactly why I was there.

Anywho, it just happened during math class today and now I just stained my math notebook, great.

Fortunately, the blood didn't bleed through the other pages (It was a bit pricey for a notebook after all), but it's blood, and for obvious reasons, I would definitely prefer not to have it :)

Does anyone know how to get the stains out :')

Thanks!

P.S. I forgot to get my batteries recycled.

Hydrogen peroxide gets blood out of almost anything. You can use a cotton ball for paper so it doesn't get all wet. If you get it on clothes just pour a little over the blood. It works if the blood has dried too. It doesn't work if you washed the fabric in hot water.

Why do you need to get them out?

Just add a disclaimer like "blood stain, do not lick!" or something. It's something you throw away when it's full anyway and it will almost be exusivly used by you. Why care?

[–] MarsRT@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I share my notes with friends, I think they would be a bit weirded out.

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 17 points 11 months ago

So let them be weirded out. Just tell them it's from a nose bleed, that's not that uncommon. What's the big deal?

Alternativly just copy the page and throw away the original.

Tell them you're a vampire.

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or, "I am a part-time vampire pet."

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Oh, or tell them you're actually a vampire bat in an elaborate human suit.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

OP do you also need help to hide the body

[–] Izzgo@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

I would probably take a q-tip and dab at the blood with a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide. It might bleach out any color, so only do that if the paper underneath is white. Really don't use much, and perhaps test first in some less important area of the notebook.

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Blood probably isnt even in the top 5 worst bodily excretements that book has had on it that year. Literally nobody is going to care about teeny red spot on page 231. Dont worry about it.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 5 points 11 months ago

Learn to scetch and make a thing (tomato, fire, ...) out of it.

I mean probably hugely impractical but that's what I'd do 🔥🩸🧑‍🦰🌹🦊🍅🍟

I doubt you can remove blood from paper. Tear out the page or put cute stickers on the stains.

Try it with pure isopropyl alcohol. No water, because water destroys your paper.

This is more for fabrics than paper...
For blood stains, cold water is usually better than hot water.
Hydrogen peroxide or salt water might work.
Not sure that you can really remove a bad blood stain from paper.

Paint over it with a black marker.

You can't remove them, only at best make them fade slightly. That is not enough to prevent weirding people out, which I understood is your goal.

A blacked out area is slightly less weird.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Bleach removes it quickly is strong and you won't need to get it as wet, but will remove all other color.

Peroxide is safer on other things, but will need to make it fairly damp if you don't have some 30%

Alcohol will just turn it lighter brown.

I'd test a spot with bleach on a qtip, as little as possible.
