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.

And before anyone makes a cheeky "what do you need this for 🤨" comment, I'm a writer. I'm not going to murder anyone I promise, I just want to write a scene where one guy gets poisoned.

I need something that doesn't require modern technology to extract/produce, and would make sense to be avaible in a place with a temperate to mediterranean climate. The slower, the better. Does a plant or something like that exist or do I need to make one up?

Update: I looked into death cap mushrooms and they might be just what I'm looking for! Long reaction time, and being dried doesn't make them less toxic! (the scene takes place in midwinter so no fresh ones would be avaible) If anyone has more info on them, please do share.

Whole maybe not “poisons” by definition I have a couple scary stories of people working in damp, moldy office and basement environments and after a couple years getting rare autoimmune and neurological disorders that killed them. One being my uncle, my family tried to get his workplace to test where he worked because the doctors said that’s most likely where he contracted it, but they refused. We weren’t looking for money, just trying to save the next guy. I was fairly young when this happened so I don’t remember all the details.

Didn't that happen to Brittany Murphy (90s actress), then her boyfriend/husband shortly thereafter?

So strange.

There's a conspiracy it was ricin because she knew about Ashton and Diddy trafficking

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't know there was a connection there. I thought Ashton was famous for being anti trafficking.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah you know how priests aren't usually really good guys? Turns out that 501c leaders are the same ig

Also there are a lot of weird Diddy/Ashton clips, REALLY WEIRD clips about what he's said and done with Mila when she was a minor (don't even get me started*), and other stuff on like Pranked about counting down until girls were 18 even when they were minors. It's just a LOT of weird shit altogether.

  • Sorry. That Mila married him after being groomed doesn't absolve anything and further it should be considered soft core child porn, and illegal to produce, anything that involves physical romantic touch including "platonic" hugs. These kids are getting molested with pervy directors making them do scenes repeatedly that they can write themselves. Dan Schneider making Amanda Bynes do her first kiss ever, over and over again on set in front of everyone while everyone laughs - WHY?

Why must children be compelled to kiss in theater or TV? If it's needed, do a shadow puppet thing or forced perspective where they aren't actually kissing. It's fucking weird and it should be outlawed. Just like how some old movies are ruined because it's obvious animals were abused on set, I can barely stomach some of the shows from my childhood because I KNOW they took advantage. I don't even want to link scenes to make my point or list many shows because I feel like it's making a porn list. It's just sickening to hear Ashton say some of the things he did about Mila. Ugh

Did she write a book? My parents had it and explained that it was similar to what happened to my uncle. It had her looking all sad on the cover if I remember but had to be nearly 30 years ago at this point

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The book sounds familiar.
