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.

Do you use one or more towels or washcloths?

Do you get worried that you might have dried your face with the same side you dried your butt with?

I just have a human sized Dyson air blade. As I step out of the shower, hurricane force winds blow all the water back into it.

Indeed, I don't dry those sections.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Me neither. They dry themselves by the time they need clothes.

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

I put on my bathrobe for a couple of minutes. Use the sleeves to dry my head/hair. That's pretty much it.

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

After drying my hair I just put my clothes on and dry automatically.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why is that guy wearing underwear if he's just gotten out of the shower? Does he put his underwear on and then dry himself? Am I doing showers wrong?!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

No you leave it on in the shower.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

From top down. I have a beard, and I use a hot brush to dry and straighten my beard so I don't use a towel on my face.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 19 hours ago (13 children)

You're drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn't matter what you dry first.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Disagree: if you start at the top and work down, then the wet spots don’t drip down onto the parts you’ve already dried.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 47 minutes ago

Counterpoint - I dry my legs and feet first as those are the first to cause water to get on the floor. Then I get a bathrobe and finally work on the hair.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

and top to bottom, like someone with a brain.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (2 children)

I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.

If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't need pubic har in my face.

Speak for yourself.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself.

I believe that’s what everyone was doing, but it seemed to upset some people for some reason.

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

Maybe they're drying someone else off, don't kink-shame.

A,B,C,D,E, and F. I use the tag of the towel to determined the use of my towel. Tag always goes bottom right and that means my feet always go there to dry. Divide my towel to 4-5 sections and always use the same spot of the towel for the same parts.

I'm bald

[–] [email protected] 39 points 19 hours ago

Generally top to bottom but don’t overthink it.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Well, usually i take my underwear off first...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

It seems more efficient to wash it while you shower, no?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

When I see a comment I like or a comment that makes me smile or a comment that I perceive as advancing the conversation - even if it doesn't match the other two requirements - I upvote.

It's pretty rare that I see a comment that gets a physical or vocal reaction out of me. This is only the second one I can remember on lemmy. Your comment made me literally guffaw. My opinion isn't anything special, but it's all I have to offer and I want to make sure you know you had an impact on me. Thank you.

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

I'm glad I made such a short list 🙂 a bit of laughter is a good thing.

I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

Generally top to bottom, because otherwise drips from above will rewet areas you tried to dry

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I imagine the sequence would be different depending on the amount and range of body hair.

Personally, depends on delta-T to next task.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I dry from head to toe. I use two towel, one just for my hair because I have long-ass hair and by the time I'm done drying it, the towel is usually pretty damp so I have another for my body.

Thanks for the LOL kind stranger, it's been a while since going over the comments felt worthwhile like this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Dick, Butthole and feet last, everything else at random

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I use a terrycloth robe as my towel. I dry my hair with the back, then put it on and head to my bedroom to get dressed. I'm dry when I get to the dresser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

A, B, C, D, E, F(optional). I go straight down to stop dripping

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago

You mean to tell me y'all aren't just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

A to D. Let the rest air dry

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago

I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

Surprised we haven't heard from the germophobes that they use a gantry of hot air blowers, like you sometimes find at the end of an automated car wash.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Top to bottom-ish. But I consistently use one side of the towel for my face, and the other side for my junk. I know it doesn't matter as I have cleaned up everywhere anyway, but I like to keep it separated anyway.
