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.

54 degree fahrenheit is cold? not where im from. Now the under 40 degree rain we just had. that was cold.
When it’s rainy? It’s rather unpleasant. It’s not the worst. That’s 30’s and rainy. (0c)
That shit seeps and nothing wholesome ever seeps.
Give me -40 and snowy any day over freezing and wet.
I agree. I mean usually 30 will be snow but basically onces its below 40 I would prefer below 30 if precipitation is involved. cold rain is the worst. seeps in and you have to let your jacket and such dry and if you have to go out before they dry. ugh.
Things get pretty uncomfortable when you get below -20.
You can dress appropriately for -40-50 and still be reasonably commfie for extended periods.
Particularly if you stay dry.
But it’s impossible to stay dry in persistent drizzle or heavy rain. At best you’re wearing several layers of wool and you’re warm but damp and miserable.
Impermeable shells require venting opening you to the cold wet seepage, and permeable shells will eventually fail if you stay out long enough.
Oh ffs, this entire thread is a pissing match between people dispersed in multiple climates.
I’ve lived in -40°F winters but I’m sat here in SoCal tonight with 50°F nighttime lows freezing my ass off.
How is that possible? It’s called acclimation. Go to a climate opposite of yours sometime for at least two weeks then come back. You’ll probably notice real quick that your home climate is the one that feels weird because you’ve acclimated to your new climate.
Depending on where you are, even 60F can be considered cold.
