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.

It's technically possible by water fasting for 2 months, but that is pretty dangerous for so long and you would need a strict vitamin and salt intake to even have a chance of doing it safely.

Definitely not a good idea, certainly not without doctor supervision.

You can even do it in 1 minute with a good axe.

Intermittent fasting. Save money on food by simply not eating as much food. I've lost about that much in that amount of time simply by being poor as fuck.

Assuming you're a male, you should not drop below 1500 cal a day, it can cause permanent issues.

Really? Somehow I doubt that. I'm short (165cm) and I believe I can run below this threshold just fine.

Calculate your required calories per day (lots of websites have free to use tools for this). Undershoot the calories per day by a reasonable percentage (same site you use will likely have a feature that does this). Weight loss is calories in calories out, add in some exercise and you help the cause a bit. You'll never out train a bad diet. Abs aren't made in the gym they're made in the grocery store.

Stop eating.
Before you start eating again talk to a doctor.

Stop eating

GLP drugs just reduce apatite.

Pick up a 1lb bottle of water and drop it once a day, every day, for 50 days.
You might be able to take a few days off, since you have more time remaining.


IDK man if I lost 50 lbs of stuff out of my body, I'd probably be in the ICU.
