No Stupid Questions
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.

Interesting, I always thought that was the pointless form factor. I guess I could see it being nice if you have really shallow pockets, although it seems like it would be uncomfortably thick compared to a normal phone when closed.
With the fold style, (especially trifold) It turns into a tablet you can carry in your pocket. Which would be worth it if it wasn't fragile and twice the price of a phone + tablet.
Phablet style phones don't fit comfortably in any pants I've ever worn. I think phones almost, mostly fit up to 5" or so, but most phones are much larger.
The razr when folded is probably less thick than a normal bifold wallet and is half the size of a candy bar phone. It fits closed in every pair of pants i own including pajama pants.
Sounds like it might be a women's clothing fit thing. I've tried those jeans and the pockets always are 4" deep. All my men's pants fit my 6" phone with a case on it except for one that's a bit tight if you bend your leg.
Nope, I'm a dude. It also wasn't that it didn't fit at all. It just didn't fit comfortably (in jeans). In PJ pants they stuck out the top of the pocket loosely and I had more than one phone flop out onto the ground while I was walking my dog.
I think it depends a lot on the style and size of pants, and it's just a personal preference.
While I prefer smaller phones for how they feel in the hand, all of my pants could easily fit a phone 7" or larger. But if normal phones don't fit in your pockets, then a folding phone makes sense.
Also personally I'm the sort of person who dislikes how bulky traditional wallets are, and I'm bothered by my earbuds case. But point taken that a folding phone still isn't very thick generally.
I have a slim wallet myself. It's not just bulky phones I hate carrying around. I have a keychain that allows me to drop portions of my keys when I don't need something. I like traveling light.
Phablets being in style at the same time as slim fit jeans felt like some kind of special curse from hell.
Another thing I like about the model year razr i bought is that it has only a small display on the outside. I can close the clamshell and disconnect from online junk for a while.
