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.

Do you use one or more towels or washcloths?

Do you get worried that you might have dried your face with the same side you dried your butt with?

I dry from head to toe. I use two towel, one just for my hair because I have long-ass hair and by the time I'm done drying it, the towel is usually pretty damp so I have another for my body.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 2 points 27 minutes ago

Just move the towel around randomly until Im halfway dry. Doesnt matter if there is some water left, it will dry soon enough.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

Using a single sheet towel.

B, A, using one whole side of the towel. Then fold it in half with the dry side out. Shoulders/begin C3, C4, C1, finish C3/C2, D2, D1, E1, E2, F, all with one side of the towel. Then flip it and use the dry outer side to do a quick pass in the same order.

A, B, C1 ,C3, C4, C2, F, E2, E1, D

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

(A, 1/2 B, C1-4, 1/2 D2, E1) then (1/2 B, E2, F) finally (D1, 1/2 D2)

I put on my hooded terry cloth bathrobe that simultaneously dries hair, head, neck, torso and legs above the knees. Wipe face, lower legs and feet. Remove robe and dry genitals and butt crack.

[–] Paradachshund 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Well, usually i take my underwear off first...

[–] Troubleinmind@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It seems more efficient to wash it while you shower, no?

Surprised we haven't heard from the germophobes that they use a gantry of hot air blowers, like you sometimes find at the end of an automated car wash.

[–] 4th_Times_A_Charm@sopuli.xyz 31 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

You're drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn't matter what you dry first.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 21 minutes ago

and top to bottom, like someone with a brain.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 49 points 3 hours ago

Disagree: if you start at the top and work down, then the wet spots don’t drip down onto the parts you’ve already dried.

[–] classic@fedia.io 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something

[–] braindefragger@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 23 minutes ago)

I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.

If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 32 points 4 hours ago

Generally top to bottom but don’t overthink it.

You mean to tell me y'all aren't just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Top to bottom but with D and E switched

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I finish with the D too!

[–] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I just shake the water off like a dog.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

It's good twerking practice, too!

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Top to bottom-ish. But I consistently use one side of the towel for my face, and the other side for my junk. I know it doesn't matter as I have cleaned up everywhere anyway, but I like to keep it separated anyway.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

But do you track the face and junk sides across showers?

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

The tag or label on the towel.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Yup! There's that thing you can hang the towel from, I consider that side "up".

I deviced this system as a child, I have honestly never stopped to think about whether it's reasonable or not.

[–] heydo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Start at the top and move down. Any areas such as crotch, ass, and feet are dried with the end of the towel while the face is dried with the middle of the towel.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 2 points 3 hours ago

I just sit around in my bathrobe until I'm dry enough to put on clothes.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Neck to crotch on the front then a good rough polish cycle to try and dry off my back - all with a nice thin towel that knocks the moisture off rather than absorbing it. Once my body is done I have a separate fluffy towel for my long hair, face, and beard.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 hours ago

big towel for lower body, small towel for upper body. big towel gets wrapped around hip after drying. but the order is correct

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I always start with my hair first, dry my back and upper body, then my legs. But then I keep a second towel for intimate areas, because why would you want to wipe your face with the same towel you wipe your ass with?

[–] midnight_puker@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 3 hours ago

This, if my ass isn't clean enough for me to use the same towel, how could I ask anyone to go anywhere near it
