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.

Got glasses at 5, contacts at 12, readers at 42. Couldn't read fine print with my new prescription. Went back, doc tossed magnifying papers in my face.
"Hey! That works!
"How old are you?"
"42."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Thought what mother fucker?!
I have no less than 12 pairs squirreled away, everywhere. Wife's car, my truck, desk drawer, summer and winter hiking packs, overnight bag, on-the-water bag, tool shed at camp, emergency packs, bathroom sink, nightstand, on my face, in my hair, and I can never find a fucking pair. Found 10 for $1/ea. at the thrift, brand new, think I have 2 or 3 left?
If anyone reading needs glasses, lemme shill these. Never broken a pair, even after sitting on them and bending them back out. Popped a lens once and got it back in, which is amazing for glasses having the "underwire" thing, they usually break even worse. Try that with plastic rims and they'll never quite stick well again.
Yes, they effectively block the blue end of the spectrum. No big deal outside, but nice for working on a computer or at night. (I have a 40" TV for a monitor, so blue blockers might not be such a thing for you. I am bathed in blue radiation.)
They fit my big head, comfortable, all that, hate the nose pads because I flip my glasses into my long hair like a girl and they stick. ๐คฌ Also, internet expensive, but about the cost of "good" drugstore glasses, still better. I'd like another set, but too rich for me ATM, gotta wait till I break or lose my crappy glasses. Got one left (of 3) after going through a couple dozen cheapos since I got these in 2022. Be perfect if they had the stretchy hinges and flat nose pads.
Some ass will accuse me of marketing. Marketers don't cuss or say anything bad about the product. I sincerely want to give my experience on the subject. Because for me, reading glasses have been the biggest pain-in-the-ass of growing old.
Those only go up to +4. I haven't been +4 since grade school
(Crap, back to where I can't edit my own posts. AGAIN.)
Forgot the important bit! The optical clarity is tight, like none I've ever had. It's like the difference in Foster Grant vs. $1 store specs, and they beat Foster Grant, solidly.
Got a question that may help with us all with future purchases. These are the only reading glasses I've ever had where I can walk around (briefly!) with them on (plus contacts). Every other sort makes me vaguely nauseous, whip 'em into my hair the minute I move again. Why?! Is there something I need to look for, some specification? Is this just the aforementioned optical clarity? The cheap shit is good enough for me to read tiny print, but I damned well can't go to another room wearing them.
