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.

I was browsing Tik Tok (yes I am ashamed) and saw a video of caver in pretty narrow passage. So that caver took another rock and started to chip in order to widen a little bit the passage, while complaining about not having a hammer with him.

I am a climber, not a caver, and that kind of behaviour would be a big nope in the climbing world (There is a few exceptions where it was done (usually after involving the federation and local community), and it's still pretty controversial)

So I am curious about caver opinion on that practice.

Isn’t spelunking specifically exploring underwater caves?

Wild, I had always thought it was just the scuba diving in a cave.

[–] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're thinking of scublunking

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Nah, that's a 1997 hit from the British band Chumbawumba

You're thinking of dumb locking

It just feels like it should be because it makes a "spelunk" sound when you cannonball into the water.

[–] polyfire@waveform.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That would be splooshers you're thinking of.

[–] OBGYNKENOBI@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I can’t tell if you’re fucking with me or not.

[–] Gutotito@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Name checks out.

[–] polyfire@waveform.social 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I very much am.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's when a turd is so big it splashes up some water and tickles your bum, right?

[–] polyfire@waveform.social 2 points 1 year ago

Big turd or droopy butt. Yeah.
