!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.

However the plot needs them to.
Comic book artists are not (all) fashion designers, so the artistic leeway that also lets them render imperfect images of humanoids in fight sequences also applies to the practicality of their costumes.
Presumably said costumes are donned piecemeal, similar to how the actual costumes of cosplayets and superhero actors are donned. Spiderman and deadpool look like they're wearing full body sewn-on gimp suits, but are "really" just wearing some overlapping layers that the artist (usually) doesn't depict.
(Except of course for things like the venom symbiote, mystique's shapechanging, or those weird pseudo-nudists like hulk, silver surfer, and thosd green lantern freaks...)
Depends on the superhero. Many just change by spinning around really fast, like magic or something. Spider-man puts it on like swimwear, while Iron Man gives all the parts of his armour rockets that fly to his body (and eventually I think it's nanobots that form the suit)
Spidey wears his under his clothes. So does Superman for that matter. Spidey keeps his mask in a pocket.
The tricky part is what they do with their regular clothes when they're busy being a hero.
At least in Spider-Man's case, the comics have shown that he spins a bag to put the clothes in and hangs it in an out-of-the-way place.
What Superman does is less clear, but he can move at impossible speeds, so he might just fold them neatly and take them home, still leaving ample time to do whatever he needs.
I find it funny that the flash has the costume in a ring and then changes clothes really fast. He could just run home, get dressed and run back and no one would know
Clark Kent's clothes are made of some kind of super fabric that doesn't wrinkle. Superman folds and compresses his civvies into a small square about the size of a wallet, and keeps it in a pocket in his cape.
If Superman was already heading home with his clothes, why wear the outfit underneath at all??
I posit he just crushes it down to the molecular level with super strength and hides it in his ear.
Nanomachines, son.
More importantly, how do they go to the bathroom mid-patrol?
Old school wonder woman used to show how on tv
The Flash keeps his suit inside his ring. Clark Kent wears the Superman outfit underneath. Batman is night time only. Wonder Woman has an invisible airplane to change in if she needs to, but mostly she just dresses like that. Green Lantern, the ring's powers create the costume.
In private.
They don't.
They aren't real.
