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.

Let me preface this by saying I am a man, and smoked a little too much, so I'm sitting here thinking... what is or was the original purpose of a bra? Weight support? Vanity? Covering the nips so people's eyes met your eyes and you can have a normal conversation? Like what's it all about?

You don't want to provoke the boomers with a young woman's nips!

I wish I did have nipples that offended boomers, but I'm a cis straight dude

Look bro, and I apologize if any of my language seems harsh. I'm still trying to figure out if you're trying to be instigating with your correction. So instead of an argument where we both lose, were you trying to just be corrective and respective or we're you just trying to be a grammar troll?

it was rather ambiguous, fair point

i was going for sexually uncomfortable as in predatory old man vibe

i can guarantee you one thing... me deff not a nazi grammar and my sloppy body of work is testament to that

I see. You have suggestions to reword it with sou ding creepy or should I just delete the whole thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

not a suggestion for rewording, i think u/cheesymoonshadow did even better than my explanation.

Just highlighting that that "offended" is fake news for people who don't understand boomer psychie

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I sent a comment before this, but afterwards I realize I had an opinion on this. I'll delete the first point, but would still like a link to who you were talking about. And my asking isn't something that is going to offend me, but you feel it's relevant thus my opinion is relevant to your opinion. Do you think I have an outdated perspective?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

If you used offended as per dictionary definition, then yes.

Boomer behavior re younger women is a bit unsettling, I noticed when I was growing up. I am making broad strokes here obviously but large segment of male population see nothing wrong with the likes of Epstein and his clients. Also, they used to make jokes about casting couches etc... how did that age? Hollywood? Gaetz or whatever that tsex pest ordering jail bait comes to mind too, they will execute that shit.

I have seen them acting "offended" in person, it was not offense, it was some weird power flex or in ability mange their urges. An adult man who acts like that is registered as sex pests in my mind.

I took it to mean they meant that said boomers were only feigning taking offense but in reality enjoying the view.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

No no no. Absolutely not! I'm assumingly speaking for most people in general. I'll do my best to make sure I'm the only asshole in my assumptions

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I don't think it was the boomers, that's the disco and Debbie Harry generation, right? In the 1970s the natural shape was fine and average bra size 34B. So boobs were smaller and bras less essential. The Wonderbra is the time I remember this changing, so sadly I believe it was us, GenX, who drove this change. Not me personally, I hate it. But my age group.

You mean where the tassel goes?
