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 bought this juice carton but I've never seen this type of opening in my life. I'm stumped. Edit: omg I didn't even notice the "lift" sign, thanks everyone! I did it!

Push the front part in with your thumb as you pull the narrower part up with your fingers.

[–] renard_roux@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Correct! If you look real close at the photo, it even says "lift" on the left-hand side.

[–] finn_der_mensch@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Exactly, lift what’s left in the picture and pull towards you. It will push a hole through the carton with the right part which you can push down to support the plastic a bit. ~~Note these cartons cannot be closed again.~~ EDIT: they can at least partly, see below

[–] renard_roux@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You simply push the left-hand side down again to close, works absolutely fine 👍

[–] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's designed to be closed again. What do you mean?

[–] finn_der_mensch@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, they can be closed in the sense of „no fly gets in“, but oxygen does. Not to mention that juice would definitely flood out if you lied this on the side.

[–] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I wouldn't trust any other kind to do that either tbh.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s why screw on lids were invented. Never understood this stuff

[–] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

those are also a rather loose fit on the cartons I regularly use.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's full of juice. What do you do with things that are full of juice? Easy! Take a big ole bite.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or is it beef broth? In which case, I do not recommend biting a cow.

[–] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I do recommend cow biting; remind them of who's at the top of this food chain.

[–] Doxin@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago

You pull up on the orange bit with the hole on it. It'll take some force since the opposite end will perforate the packaging as you do so.

[–] ValiantDust@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

This is giving me flashbacks. These used to be very common here in Germany for ice tea. But they sucked so much, we usually lifted up the edges and cut them off.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is it from Japan? They love weird packaging. Anyway the box looks simple enough, just stab it with an awl punch. A screwdriver would probably work fine too, or probably just a sharp knife.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's basically a pull-tab, like the one on a can, but with a hinge. You open it the same way, but without the actual pulling.

It's hard to see, but the smaller part says "Lift", so you can probably just pull up all the way, and it'll open.

[–] kaffeebohne@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Turn the bottom side up. Take a knife Stab the bottom Enjoy

[–] Anime@lemmy.pipipopo.pl 0 points 1 year ago

scisots or make hole with knife

[–] rarkgrames@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Take off and nuke that fucker from orbit.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's the only way to be sure.
