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.

Strip me for parts and give the rest to science. I'm not real sentimental about my body once I'm done with it.

We did this for my dad, and my mom will follow the same path, I think.

Some burocracy (and educating burocrats, as the law allowing for this in my country 🇦🇷 is recent) but it's worth to do something useful of oneself after death while not enriching the post-mortem mafia.

Of course both my brother and I want the same for ourselves.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

This and compost the rest. Now available in WA!

Scatter my remains across Disney World, although I don't want to be cremated.

I found a service that will mix your ashes in concrete and make you into an artificial reef. I like the idea of getting coral and sea fans to grow on me.

If I had my way about it, I'd have a tree planted over me, but I don't expect to know the difference, so I don't really think about it much.

Cremate me and grind my ashes into small particles.

Then take those ashes and mix them into dark spices like pepper as a filler. Sell it to the general population.

I will be vored. I will be inside you. I will become part of you. You cannot stop this.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are easier ways to get laid man

I'm not into this as a sexual thing. I will ascend and take control as my body becomes part of your chemical processes. I will become a part of you. mwahahhahah!

viking style. I want to be pushed out to sea on a magnificent hand-crafted canoe. Then someone is going to shoot a flaming arrow into my canoe and I'll go out in a blaze of glory. No one said you can't request this and I think it would be pretty sweet. Needs instrumental accompaniment.

Just be sure you give someone a heads up so that they can practice their archery enough to actually set you on fire

It's okay, the band has "Entry Of The Gladiators" prepared in case this part of the send-off is missed.

Make me and my partner a tree, set up a hammock between us, and hang with us from time to time

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Flay my skin, stretch and tan it into a hammock, hang it between these two people and then lay in it and smoke a joint

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Donate my body to science if possible, failing that, dispose of me in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

Once I am dead I have no care for my body, maximize the use of it or minimize the impact of it.

I don’t personally care. Burials and other ceremonies are for the living. I’d prefer something that doesn’t harm our environment and to donate as many organs as possible, but that’s pretty much it.

I like what you said about being a tree. I may steal that.

I don’t have kids. I plan to leave my assets to a charity. Probably something for animals but I haven’t really planned that far ahead yet.

Reminder to leave instructions for your loved ones, regardless of your age or health. One of the hardest decisions your family will go through is trying to guess what you'd want.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Literally just throw me in a ditch idgaf as long as my body is allowed to naturally decay and recycle the energy back into the ecosystem.

Stop locking bodies in boxes that take decades to decay.

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

Whatever is cheapest/easiest for my family.

Bury me "buns-up" in a sidewalk downtown so someone has a place to park their bicycle.

Donate all my usable organs, plant a fruit tree in the empty chest, preferably in the yard of my family home.

I don't really care, not planning on dying within the next few decades. Maybe by then, we'll already be in space, and whoever has to make that decision can just push my body out of the air lock.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You can never truly be prepared for death, natural death just like accidental death can happen at anytime in any place with out you knowing until it’s too late.

[–] LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Good point. I should already be registered as an organ donor, although I have no idea how that process works.

Not my problem... Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

We're gonna make you into a real horse chandelier then.

Excellent! Can't wait to find out what one looks like....

No.... Wait.... :)

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had planned on (organ donation first of course, but then) cremation, mostly to make my leftover remains easier and cheaper to deal with. Lately I've heard about rapid-composting, which is supposed to be more environmental. So that might be good. But it might be more expensive, in which case back to the plan.

[–] lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Rapid composting, like, turn you into soil?

I'm an organ donor, but I suspect my organs won't be worth much by the time I'm done with them.

There’s still some active tar pits. I’m surprised nobody is intentionally trying to become a fossil. It would be cool to do some weird shit to mess with the aliens who find your fossil in 10,000 years or so.

[–] frankPodmore 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'd like my corpse to be used to frame someone for murder. Obviously I can't name names, because that would undermine the plot, but I trust my loved ones to frame up someone who has it coming.

Give my body to a cabal of necrophiliacs so I can continue to be fucked in death as I was in life.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Having recently watched Andor, I think I'd like to be made into a brick and used as a weapon against fascists.
