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've only ever seen this done by Americans. They also have really car centric cities. I guess it kinda makes sense to just keep your normal shoes on to warm your feet if they can't get dirty since you mostly only walk indoors.

I'm American and I know people from multiple states and I've never heard of anyone doing this. Always surprises me to see it assigned to us online. I'm sure it must happen in some region of the country but I don't know where.

[–] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 22 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It's a reoccurring internet discussion you can google. The rest of the world thinks Americans wear shoes inside, even on their beds, because that's what we see in US movies/series, and Americans always deny they'd ever do such a thing.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

That's a good point. I hadn't thought about actors almost always wearing shoes on set. I guess it would look like everyone does that in their home.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I should wear shoes in bed. My feet got attacked by a cat this morning at Oh God o'clock.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You just think it was a cat because your brain can’t handle the truth. There’s a reason we use bursery rhymes to teach kids not to let their arms and legs hang over the side of the bed. You are so lucky you still have feet

[–] netvor@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I thought those nursery rhymes were because of the cat.

[–] Emotional_Sandwich@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I hate that shit. When someone wears shoes in bed it's all I can focus on and it ruins the scene. As a fat American slob, I'd never wear shoes to bed. The only time I wear shoes inside is if I have to run inside quickly for something on the 1st floor or in the basement.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Not American myself. However, I've seen people from Pennsylvania do this.

Otherwise, for some reason it happens a lot in movies.

[–] EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 3 points 8 months ago

From Michigan, it's about 50/50. I don't really think twice about it.

[–] e_mc2@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not American and I always wear shoes in the house. Why the fuck not?

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So... do you clean them every time you get home? Or is there just not much rain, snow or even just dirt in your area anyways?

[–] e_mc2@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

We do have a lot of rain, specially in this time of year, but we have something here that is called a schoonloopmat which cleans/dries your shoes quite good. That together with hard wooden floors throughout the house makes I never take off my shoes at home.
