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 just randomly checking out what Funerals costs and was shocked how expensive it was! €3.500 to €5.500! I live in north Germany, and we have here some very deep Woods. So I was thinking what would happen if I just die there. Let’s say no one ever finds me. Are Animals just going to eat me, and will I just be gone in a couple of years?

EDIT: If someone knows what happens step by step I would be really curious to know :D

I’m imagining what happens is they organize a giant search party to look for you (this is not the good kind of giant party) Eventually they find your corpse and put it in a refrigerator for a long time while your relatives argue with the police about whether you were kidnapped and murdered. Somebody pays for all this, maybe the tax payers, maybe your relatives, I don’t know. Then after all that you finally get to have your expensive funeral but on top of being sad, everybody is frustrated.

I’m thinking, better all around if you just don’t die quite yet because that shit is just awkward.

Gluck auf!

I love the sentiment: "just don't die because it's awkward AF". If "joie de vivre" doesn't make you cling to life, there's always social anxiety even after death 🤣

So what you’re saying is that you need to make the crime scene interesting so people aren’t frustrated. Got it.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A tripwire that sets off a bunch of confetti when they find your corpse.

I prefer the balloon drop. If you use one of those mylar balloons it could last for 30 years and still be full of air. Just think how it would really perk up some future investigator's afternoon.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

How was your day, dear?

It was... Lovely, actually.

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What if I yeet myself into a volcano and leave a note explaining?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

No, Mr Frodo! I won't let you!

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What happens if I commit suicide by fire? And maybe with a fan to blow away the ashes?

Basically what if there is no body?

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

So an incineration to ashes requires something like several sustained hours at 4000⁰, you would basically have to build a pyre

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

🎵I didn't light the pyre🎵

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Otherwise with that fan, you’ll have the entire downwind neighbourhood disappointed there’s not actually a bbq party.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Isn’t self immolation fairly agonising? I always assumed fire is the worst way to go.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What I've heard is that fire destroys the nerves in your skin pretty quickly and you can't feel pain or anything else after a few seconds. @Scubus@sh.itjust.works seems to have had just that experience.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Your comment will be my head canon from now on, because I desperately hope that’s true. I’ve been traumatised by a few videos on WPD back in the day. :(

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I have no idea tbh, but I did get a 1 inch circular brand about a decade ago, and after the first two seconds or so, I couldn't feel the heat anymore. Of course by that point my skin was literally boiling. Even before that, I don't remember the pain being very bad.
