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.

Just backing up all of this. I'm from PA and I remember one year we spent Christmas in Tampa. First time I could wear shorts outside on Christmas, while everyone else was sporting pants and at least a hoodie, if not a coat.

Just thought I should add that this was in the 90s, climate change my effect your results.

I grew up in a northern state and used to pride myself as a teen that I could wear a t shirt in the snow or be wearing a hoodie at the busstop while others had winter coats.

After a some years in Southern Florida a slight breeze bringing it to 70 degrees gets me into a sweater lol

The body really acclimates. It used to be so hot the first summer and nowadays it's not a big deal. But actually this summer has been unusually hot, however that seems a bit anomalous.

I'm also from PA and moved to a southern state. It's fun when it's 60 degrees out and everyone is walking around in winter jackets and scarves and I'm in a t-shirt literally dripping sweat. My first winter it was 55 out and someone said "I can't wait for spring to come, I'm so sick of the cold." I just looked at them and said "uh... where I come from, this is spring."

60f is 15c for any other non Americans

I’d be 100% fine if it was 55 degrees year around.
