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.

I know high fiber foods is a large part of it, but is there anything else to it?

  6. Limit or eliminate processed foods
  7. Limit saturated fat intake up until the point your gallbladder can keep up
  8. Red sauces, not white sauces
  9. Eliminate fried food

Reading number 3 makes me angry.

You spelled hungry wrong.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Legit hard dealbreaker

Shaving works too. I've gotten pretty good at getting it clean with a double edge safety razor. About once every couple of weeks keeps the wiping pretty easy.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

somehow, putting a blade to my asshole doesn't really sound that appealing.

[–] burrito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I used to think the same thing and would have my wife wax me. The razor is much faster, doesn't hurt at all, and accomplishes the goal of keeping my massive ass forest under control.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

No thanks. Ryobi one blade.

[–] Kcap@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Taco Bell takes issue with like half of these.

You don't need to wax your ass if you produce teflon grade poops as asked in this thread. I found out week long feats of uninterrupted veganism helped, so i'd argue balancing fibre intake is key. But i'm not doctor, just like the person i just replyed to.

I think it's more likely to accelerate digestion and it can give you the runs, not 100% sure on that explanation though

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Basically this. Increased gut motility from inflammation reduces the time spent extracting water from your stool, which is exactly counterproductive to the OP’s question.

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, can chili do that? I don’t think I’ve experienced that even though my mouth has been on fire numerous times.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Many things increase gut motility. Barbiturates are a famous example of the opposite effect.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It totally depends on the individual, but jalapeños give me diarrhea every time without fail. Spicy food causes general GI upset and inflammation.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If jalapeños give you diarrhea you should try a habanero or a ghost pepper instead.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It is kind of funny that jalapeños sometimes cause my stomach to get upset, but habaneros never do.

So I just thought to duck duck go why and apparently pickled jalepenos are more likely to cause digestive issues and that matches up for me.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So it clearly has nothing to do with the spiciness, and just with whatever your digestive system doesn't like about jalapeños (or them being pickled). Why would you agree that spicy food is relevant here when it clearly isn't?

Yea, sorry. Turns out it was a different person posting this, and I had somehow assumed it was the same person replying, my bad.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I eat peppers that would make a billy goat puke, no gut issues. It's a matter of getting used to, i.e., burning out, the neurotransmitters that sense capsaicin.

People tend to think hot peppers are rough on the guts, but consider, birds chow them with no issue. No nerves for capsaicin, no problem. See? No cat. No cradle.

I love me a good Vonnegut reference

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

You might just be allergic to jalapeños, my cousin.

Only thing id add is staying properly hydrated
