A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Could be big picture, like a life goal. Could be what you want right this moment. What do you yearn for?

Sounds not too far off the house we got tbh. Though no obvious signs of smoking, just a musty damp smell. Replacing the 4 layers of wallpaper was fun and then plastering the patches where the plaster just about fell off the wall.

Well, I'm glad you managed to find a place, and that you've got the necessary wits about you to make it a nice home :-)

Necessary wits being hey let's remove the peeling wallpaper and paint this room!

Followed by - oh shit why are bits of wall coming off with it. Why is the bare block behind visible. YouTube, how do I plaster a wall?

Indeed. I once dated a girl who left dead flies on the windowsills as a deterrent to the other flies, but didn't think to clean out the moody fruit in her kitchen.

She'd been in foster care from the age of 12, and had zero preparation for life.
