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?

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

[–] [email protected] 103 points 1 month 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] 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

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.

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

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.

I don't need pubic har in my face.

Speak for yourself.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself.

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

Generally top to bottom but don’t overthink it.

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

Yup I'll just chime in to add I dry off while still standing in the shower to minimize wetness on my bathroom mat

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

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] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

No you leave it on in the shower.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

As a fellow nevernude...

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

I start with grit 60, working up to 120, then a 600 for the smoothest finish, then a once over with a buffing pad for a shine that really glows. Always top to bottom.

Top to bottom. Water runs downhill.

I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Head to toe, my dudes. Any other way is objectively wrong.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month 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.

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.

I just shake the water off like a dog.

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.

Is this the right community for this post?

Its not a genuine question.

All the answers are jokes.

Seems more like an asklemmy thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month 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] 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It’s almost entirely just a progression from top to bottom with the one exception that I do my face first because I need to see properly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

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] 3 points 1 month 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] 3 points 1 month ago

I just sit around in my bathrobe until I'm dry enough to put on clothes.
