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.

My feet are cold
Fluffy socks or slippers?
I have slip on house shoes that are like slippers but being shoes they have a sole that can keep me from stunning toes on the stuff family members leave around. Plus they are more insulation when the floor is cold.
I don't always take off shoes right at the door though if they aren't wet or have obvious dirt or stuff on the bottom. Yes, that tracks some stuff in but regular floor cleaning takes care of that.
It is funny that the person I know who is the most strict about not wearing shoes in the house likes to walk around barefoot outside and then walks right in the house like her feet didn't pick up the same things as shoes.
House slipons are different! Like the other reply, I guess I'm more getting at that distinction between indoor and outdoor footwear. And something like walking on your porch is fine in either (to me), but I wouldn't go walking around the mall in my slippers any more than I keep sneakers on in the house.
My house slipons are literally regular slip on shoes that I don't wear outside.
Your porch most likely has just as much bird feces and random animal or insect spread bacteria as the sidewalk unless it is enclosed.
I have a pair of slippers I use to take the trash out to the can (adjacent to the porch), but also typically only wear socks inside the house (usually fluffy warm ones in the winter, or ankle socks in the summer)
Slippers are a type of shoe.
I would disagree, they are footwear but I don't usually think of it as a shoe if it doesn't have a hard sole.
That said, house shoes are a thing as well, and it's my mistake for not including it in the list. I guess my line of thinking was, there are types of footwear for streetwear/outside, and types for indoors, and I think it's a little weird to mix them.
And if my feet are cold, then I'm cold.
