!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:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

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.
Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!
The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
There are different types of abortions. There are medication based ones that kill the embryo and cause the uterus to expel the tissue, which is what all the fuss over mail ordering is about.
Then there are various surgical options which generally carry more of a risk.
Many people prefer the pills because you can do it at home without having to go somewhere you might be harassed by protestors or guilt tripped into keeping it.
Wellll, that's a can of worms
Ignoring the dubious issue of the implied involuntary dosing, there are multiple reasons for a person to prefer one method of body autonomous pregnancy cessation over another.
Primarily, most of the medications used are way less painful and have fewer complications. Not that there's no pain and no risks, just that they tend to be of low concern in comparison to surgical options.
There's also the relative degree of trauma being lower for medications. Again, it isn't zero, but the fact of not having to have someone put things into your body while you suffer is a big plus on the side of medications.
Overall, it's just a less bad experience.
You are not a 40 year old traveling nurse? I find it hard to believe that a nurse wouldn't know this.
Everything about this account always seems bizarre to me, but I've never been able to pin down exactly who they are or why they post in the very strange manner they do
Truly one of the fediverse's greatest mysteries. I love seeing their questions pop up. Like Grapp on the old r/asksciencefiction
You're also a fediverse icon. I used to dislike you, but I've come around over time, and now view you as someone I like who occasionally says things I deeply dislike, but not enough for me to dislike you.
