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.

If you can walk outside in -20 f (-28 c) barefoot and still feel your feet after ~15 seconds and avoid frostbite inside of five minutes, I might accept that I’m weaker than you.
But, assuming you’re human and not possessed of prosthetic feet…. I’m going to assume your toes would fall off just the same as mine.
Yeah I go out in the yard with the dog or take out the trash in winter here in Montreal. Granted it's a minute here or there but it's true. Not calling anyone weak or anything but it's just a little snow or cold.
You're still probably getting frost bite, and yes, the cellular damage caused by frostbite can add up over time making it quite severe even with the 'casual' exposure.
There's no weakness in prudence. being imprudent can lead to it though (or rather amputations, at worst.)
Do you have a source to back that up? I'm having trouble finding anything that says you have to be out less than 15 minutes before frostbite kicks in. It's like saying you'll get frostbite in your hands if you hold some ice for a minute.
Every cold safety thing ever; Keep in mind, that’s wind chill (“feels like”), in limited wind, the ground is going to pull more heat faster.
Freezer ice is usually not -20, though. (Freezers are usually set to 0-10 degrees f)
To be fair in that kind of weather going outside is a 15min, 12 layer ordeal, the shoes are a small concern at that point.
