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.

I'll start by saying that I'd get rid of the need to shit. I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that it's unpleasant.

Add Wolverine/Deadpool healing factor.

Make everyone shit rounded rare earth metal cylinders. Suddenly we don't need Cobalt and Lithium mines any more and the worst aspects of having to poop are solved too. It's dry and doesn't stink, so no need for the toilet, just poop in your little collection bucket, no need for wiping and then you go on with your day.

Squeezing a metal cylinder out my chute sounds a lot less pleasant than just pooping poop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Haha fair enough, I was thinking of multiple little ones not singular big ones. Think of bunny droppings or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Remove sneezing. If only because I find people wishing me "bless you" to be the most useless & meaningless human interaction I can think of.

How about your bless my farts, Ryan, you purposeless dingbat.

Hear everyone's thoughts at will so I can hear anyone's thoughts if I want to.

Biting my cheeks or tongue while eating

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Oof, I can totally relate 👍

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

There’s only one good answer to this question period.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Everyone's saying the need to sleep. That goes a bit too far IMO. Who knows it would work out as we think it to be? Maybe the 33% we sleep will just be reduced off our lifespan with nothing won.
Also, honestly, even if that wouldn't be the case - I wouldn't want to not sleep at all. It's like a regular break from life. Even if employers wouldn't exploit this, I don't want to be awake forever.

Now, here's my proposal: We still need to sleep, but we can control falling asleep and waking up like it's a muscle. Lay in bed and fall asleep anytime. No more falling-asleep issues for anyone, no more sleepless nights.
And also, we'd have a perfect inner clock and the ability to choose when we wake up. Fall asleep at 11 PM, have to get up at 7? Great, you know exactly when 8hrs are over and are able to just wake up, no alarm needed.

That thing when you accidentally swallow the smallest amount of spit the wrong way and start coughing like mad

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

Back pain is not painful anymore, but rather pleasant now

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

Surprised nobody said cell degradation.

You now can live for as long as you're not killed whilst physically keeping an appearance of an ~30 y.o. This also technically prevents cancer.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

The "loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don't want it to grow" thing.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (6 children)

needing food. that would free up a lot of time and money, no input = no output. no dishes, no stove or fridge, no need for a dishwasher, then on the other end, no need for TP, or even a toilet!

I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it's trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.

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

My gut just wants beer right now.

Have an upvote 👍

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I would eliminate the ability for humans to reproduce.

Have you SEEN people?

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

As long as we can still practice.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Have you seen a birth? Not fun

Remove the need to exercise, like an anaconda. The ability to just lay around doing nothing and still be ripped to the max. That would be cool!

I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.

Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can't stay underwater for long enough.

Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.

Shitting feels good... I would just alter it so it doesn't smell bad, tastes like brownie batter, and isn't toxic.

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

Excuse me, I just farted. What the fuck did I just read? 😂🤣

Our dog is named Brownie, I'm not in any hurry to taste his batter.

Anyways, free upvotes for everyone today 👍

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Toenail growth.

Cutting nails is annoying, and toenails are awkward and stupid.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Remove need to sleep. You would get ~33% more time every day.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't wait to work 24 hours a day! No pesky sleep getting in the way anymore.

We’d just be exploited for our labor 33% more.

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

I’m pretty sure everyone can agree that it’s unpleasant.

I strongly disagree.

Personally I'd remove the need for sleep and effectively increase my lifespan by 3rd.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd like to urinate from my thumbs at will.

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

Who is Will, and what did he do?

Can I add wings? I wouldn’t mind being able to fly around!

Eliminate the need to sleep.

As others have mentioned:

Welcome to 24 hour work days...

Have an upvote regardless 👍

Sneezing/snot production. Sure, it can feel amazing. But the sudden urgency to stop everything I'm doing and focus on my nose or risk a disgusting eruption of green mucus all over my face in a public setting is something I could do without.

Also, I'm waiting for someone with medical knowledge to come in here and mention Prions or something else silently devastating to the body.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Welcome to 22 hour work shifts, with twenty minute breaks.

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

Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.

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

Haha. Not what I meant but I guess it works too.

Sweating. I wanna be exclusively water cooled. None of this evaporative cooling BS. Just swap fluid every six months to a year. I always need moving air anyways…
