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.

My dogs. I stagger their ages so that I'll always have at least one and thus would feel too guilty to ever kill myself.
Planning ๐ง
Nice. Mines about 3. Would you wait until 5 for a new one?
Personally, I would say 3-4 is a good gap. That is what we have done with our last 3 pups, I wouldn't want them to be much farther apart as I feel like they wouldn't play or bond quite as well when the older one is more set in their ways and has less energy for puppy shenanigans
Yeah, I got a puppy when my older dog was five. But the puppy died of cancer right when she turned two. So I just got another puppy right before my older dog turned seven. She definitely had more patience for the last puppy, but they are starting to bond and play a bunch. It's nice to see. The older dog seemed really off and saddened by the loss of the last puppy. Nice for her to have a friend again.
Depends on the breed / size of the dog. Large dogs have shorter lives. I like large dogs. About five years is a good age to get a puppy in that context. I wouldn't wait more than seven years.
Ours are 11, 7, and 3.
My dogs were 16 and 7 when they passed last year. ๐
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's wonderful that you had one for so long, though.
Thanks, it was a rough year. Cancer is a real bummer.
