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.

Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?

I keep my phone in my front pocket, while my gun goes in my rear pocket. What do you mean by left and right pockets?

Goes in my left pocket, cause I always hold it in my left hand. That way I can use my right hand to run my apps.

[–] itzpea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

A month ago I got a murse, my phone goes on it now asking with my wallet and keys and change. I can't go back.

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

Front left. Front right is keys, handkerchiefs and change (in the special smaller pocket-in-pocket thing).

Back right, slim leather wallet. Back left, usually nothing or "clean junk" that I want to throw out soon such as bills, tickets, etc.

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

Wallet and phone in the right pocket, keys in the left for me.

[–] thewinn@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Right front for phone/wallet combo, left for keys and headphone case, and side leg pocket for the dreaded work phone

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Left front for years, so I could grab smaller items like keys and ID out of the right. Once I got a smart phone, I was grabbing it a lot more frequently than my keys, and I switched.

[–] SpeedLimit55@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Phone front right, wallet & keys front left. Knife location varies depending on clothing.

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

Both my phones are in my right front pocket. I carry way to much crap on a daily basis..

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

Same here, Left front, or sometimes shirt pocket if I have one.

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Phone by itself in left front pocket, facing leg. Keys and sundry in right front, wallet in back right, receipts in back left.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Right pocket phone, left pocket wallet and Miyoo Mini.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

My headphones' bluetooth receiver is on the right. Bluetooth performs very poorly at passing through the tissue of a human body (I think it has to do with all the water in there), so when I wear my headphones (always), my phone goes in right front pocket to minimize the path of the signal through my body.

(BTW, you should actually try this if your bluetooth devices suck. Position the transmitter and receiver so they don't go through your body. I promise you it improves things a LOT.)

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

Right handed, left front pocket, this is the way.

Right butt pocket if I'm wearing jeans. Front right otherwise.

I'm right-handed, btw.

[–] AirborneRadio@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Front left since I use the tiny pocket inside the right pocket for my car keyfob.
Keyring, wallet, and earbuds go in the right pocket

If I'm not wearing a sportcoat it goes in my back right pocket. If I am it goes in my inside left.

[–] MT_Book_Wyrm@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Front left for phone, screen inwards. Nothing else but phone.

[–] yunggwailo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As a bisexual i mean ambidextrous person I keep it in my left front pocket or right back pocket

[–] CFinley97@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ambidextrous bi with a Pearl pfp?

I feel like I know you already 😏

[–] Obsession@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Phone in the front right pocket, wallet in the front left pocket, keys in the back pocket, earbuds in the watch pocket

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

For me it's always the back right pocket. Front left is wallet and keys. Front right is knife, pen, lighter, and chapstick. If i'm ever sitting down I'm usually gonna take my phone out so I never sit on it either.

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

Left interior coat/jacket pocket for phone. I'm in SF, so always wear some kind of coat/jacket.

[–] CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Front left for phone and change, front right for keys, pocket knife, and lighter. Wallet in right hip pocket unless I’m in a crowd or unfamiliar city. Then it also goes in the front right.

My phone has a wallet case, so it's all on one thing. It all goes in my left front pocket.

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

In a populated area? Front right. Wallet in front left.

Outside a densely-populated area? Likely back right, because that is where my wallet went pre-COVID. It just feels natural, and easy to grab without any squirming.

[–] Tigbitties@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The one withy keys. Every time.

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

Left front with small leather wallet (simple insert, non-fold). Dedicate that real-estate only to those two items and have no case on phone and no screen protector. Right front pocket gets all the rougher items: gum, knife, flashlight, POM, lighter, chapstick, keys when needed.

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Keys are in the left pocket, phone is on the right pocket. Wallet is either in jacket's pocket or right back pocket of my trousers.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I used to be the same, but I had to switch sides when my fat body interfered with the Bluetooth connection of a pair of headphones I had. That really isn't an issue now, but I'm just used to phone on the right side now.
