No Stupid Questions
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.

Just pick them, and wash your hands before and after. Then put your boogers in a trashcan. I always wrap a piece of toilet paper around my finger when I pick my nose.
If it's hard to get them by picking, I use pliers in front of a mirror and then put the boogers on a piece of tp which I then throw into the toilet or trash. (Remember that if you use pliers, you need to be careful so that you don't stab yourself with them. Also wash your pliers before & after.)
Please tell me “pliers” is the term for “tweezers” outside the US.
Looks at the needle-nose pliers on the desk with trepidation
Needle nose? Those are child's play. Use wire cutters to cut those bad boys out.
sometimes the only tool that gets the job done is the jaws of life
Yes, that's what I meant.
If I may dare to ask, just how fucking tenacious are your boogers my friend? Pliers? Jesus fucking Christ!
I wouldn't put toilet paper up my nose - I don't trust other toilet users to not touch the toilet roll and I don't trust the room to not have fecal particles from lidless flushing on things. I don't want tu put someone else's poo up my nose.
I know it's gross but is there a real health risk to inhaling fecal particles?
I think the risk is that possible micro abrasions would be exposed to fecal matter as opposed to inhalation
Well, perhaps it might be possible to catch some tummy bug from someone else, I don't know, but you inhale the fecal particles when you flush anyway I suppose.
The lid stays down all the time (well, in between use) at our house, with the idea that you minimise the amount of fecal particles floating around your room. I know it doesn't eliminate it, but I want to flush as much as possible of the poo and not inhale it, so I insist on the lid being closed.
I'm not claiming danger, I just don't like the thought.
Don't use TP up your nose for a different reason: TP is designed to disintegrate when wet. You end up with toilet paper chunks stuck up there.
I just keep a dedicated pair of pliers on a hook in the bathroom, thought this was normal?
Boogerpliers, right next to the poopknife.
They don't know about the three seashells.
Nobody does. They just threw that into the movie just to make people guess. You can see that over 25 years later, is still works.
Next thing you'll tell me is that the empower was naked!
The empower was naked.
Mind blown!
Just wait till I break out the leaf blower!
I really hope this is a joke comment.
No?
