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.

Who cleans their phone? Who disinfects their phone?
I wipe my screen if it's dirty, and once every month or so I'll take it out of the case to clean the gunk out.
I'd love to do a fecal swab test on your phone. I wonder how many times you've put it in your mouth to hold it. I wonder how many times you've ate shit.
Yep, you'd definitely find some. just like everywhere else.
What? WTF? Never. Not in the nearly 30 years I've owned a cell phone have I EVER put it in my mouth. Why would you do that? I don't think I've ever seen someone do that.
Well, let's not get into details. But it's ironic that the same world with a profoundly unhealthy obsession with a germ-free environment is the same one that has normalized anal sex, ATM, and analingus.
I tend to stay away from both extremes, wash my hands well, keep up with my vaccinations, and don't stress over the fact that literally every single thing I touch is contaminated. The number of people who get sick (particularly with fecal coliform) from their phones is inconsequentially small.
Yes, your phone is dirty; but if you clean it, you'll be eliminating a tiny fraction of a percent of the bacteria and viruses you're exposed to every single day of your life.
You do you, but cleaning phones is almost entirely the product of fear mongering by the media. I didn't think anyone actually bothered.
I clean my phone with alcohol fairly often. Phones are great at spreading bacteria, cleaning them regularly prevents that.
Just... Stop touching things covered in germs. 🤷♂️
That's literally impossible
