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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MAD - Mandibular Advancement Device!
It works by placing the lower jaw further out from your neck. A quick test to see if it will work for you is to sit back in a chair and relax, then roll your head forward so your chin is close or touching your chest, then, whilst relaxing your throat, then check your breathing. Now, move your lower teeth in front of your upper teeth and check your breathing again. If you find that you can breathe easier, a MAD may help with your snoring. A company I am not affiliated with but whose products I use is sleep pro, the device I use is a sleep pro easyfit (https://sleeppro.com/collections/anti-snoring-products/products/sleeppro-easifit). 40 quid, much cheaper and very much quicker than all the other stuff!
Even though you technically can purchase this over the counter - this should not be used without a doctor's advice. The intricacies of jaw placement and how it impacts important nerves and arteries around one's brain and heart , in addition to tooth placement for long term issues like dental wear and tooth decay patterns leading to infections that can impact the heart and brain, are fast to important to play with willy nilly.
Something like this has worked best for me. Don't get ones with fancy adjustment settings, it just makes it too thick in your mouth. Get the kind you soften on your water and mold once
