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.

I grew up in a house where we wore shoes all the time or just didn’t think anything of having shoes on in the house. Obviously, if you had muddy shoes or something else bad you wouldn’t traipse it around the house. It wasn’t until I met my wife that I realized, “Oh, apparently wearing shoes indoors at a house isn’t done everywhere.”
What really kills me is people who don't do this seem to get ANGRY that some do. Like, it's not your house, what do you care?
On both sides of that I would say i agree.
It's amazing how many get upset that I do wear outside shoes inside.
Yep. And quite frankly, I don't understand the hostility. I take my shoes off if they're clearly dirty (ie. mud, water, etc.) but normal just walking on sidewalk? Why?
Maybe there is some kind of very trace amount of dirt on there but what difference does it make to my floors? I wear shoes in the house too so if they are dirty, oh well. I guess if you had one person going barefoot and one wearing shoes, maybe that is why you find it odd?
I also think a lot of people here are very afraid of any dirt. I vacuum weekly and mop biweekly and it seems fine (mostly hardwood here.)
Like why would my floors need to be spotless? Do people just find it "icky" or what? I have to think there is like a next to zero chance you contract any kind of sickness by just wearing shoes inside your house and "bringing in dirt" so
Did your wife grow up in a house that was all carpeted? And did you grow up in a house that was cement or wood? I could understand not wanting shoes on inside if it was wall to wall carpet or rugs.
She grew up in Kenya, their floors were just barren concrete I believe. There’s not alot of paved roads out there where family is out in the countryside, so it’s either super dusty there or super muddy, no in-between. When I visited there, it made total sense.
