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.

I was given a wallet today and I've already put some money in it. I don't know what other things I should put in it, maybe my ID.

Don't put an official government ID in there. A separate card wallet is always a good plan. Put any card IDs in there instead.

Do put a card in there with your name and contact details along with name and contact details of next of kin. If your wallet didn't come with such a card, any old bit of cardboard or folded paper will do, so long as it doesn't look like a joke.

Doing that saved my bacon once or twice, or at least I assume that's how the people who found me knew who to contact.

As for what money to put in there, amounts and so on, it's going to depend on how often you pay cash, how much you pay when you do, and how much you'd be OK with losing if you lost your wallet (or worse).

Don’t put an official government ID in there.

This depends heavily on where you live. Where I am, while it's not a crime or anything to not have it with you, you are required to HAVE one and it isn't worth the tedious hassle it'll cause if you're required to show it (unless you actively plan to antagonise the police which is valid).

That's why you have that in a different wallet elsewhere on your person.

In my case, the card wallet goes inside my jacket, and the cash wallet goes in my back trouser pocket. And in the front pocket if I think pickpockets are likely.

Regarding the topic of money, where I live cash is still common (I live far from the capital) I usually carry a little cash, about $5 or so. When I turn 18, I'll start using digital wallets. Thanks for the advice!
