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.

You have to get at it to die from 10°C IMO. Zero for sure, 3h sleep and you won't wake up.

Funny mental image of man huffing and puffing trying to kill himself in a snowbank thats more mud than snow.

You don't die from external temperatures, you die from internal temperatures.

You could die in 60° weather sleeping on rocks. Because the rocks are a great conductor of thermal energy and will drain your core temperature. That's why when you're camping it's important to put some insulation between you and the ground.

So people, in the right weather conditions, could go out in freezing temperatures in a t-shirt. But if they're out too long, or it rains, or they become less active, or if they sit down and take a nap, they're in danger when they're core temperature gets low enough.

For the acclimatized people, they've got a much bigger buffer than the unacclimatized people.

Alright, that makes sense. In the summers of my childhood, we didnt have AC so we'd lay down on the living room floor with a ceiling fan and the floor would wick away body heat. We had to be careful not to fall sleep, because if you spent too long it would make you really cold, even to the point of shivering till your teeth clacked.
