No Stupid Questions
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.

They fuckin' blow that's why. Takes longer to dry by air, plus the blowing just throws bacteria everywhere.
(Paper) towels are better.
Cloth towels are even better still.
They're harder to put in the dispensers tho.
Eh, not really. Certainly not difficult.
I’m thinking of these:
I forgot these exist and was joking lol
Oh those were so gross. Nothing worse than trying to dry your hands on some wet towel used by thousands of previous hands.
Presumably they’re supposed to dry as you pull them through but they never did. Just sit there in the bathroom wet all day just growing whatever is floating around the bathroom air
That’s… not at all how those work. It’s literally a roll of clean dry towel.
If the towel is wet it’s because you didn’t pull out fresh towel and just decided to use old towel for some reason.
And yet they never worked that way. Sure sometimes they were at the end so you only had that to use and you never could tell how many days they were like that but otherwise you try pulling it and it’s all wet. I always assumed it was cheaper to just turn it around at the end than to actually get a clean roll
I saw one in an airport. I doubt they change then often enough to not go thoroughly a round or two 🤮
Nope, they never get changed. There’s gross
They don’t go around more than once… there’s a take-up roll and the clean roll. Of course it also relies on someone changing it when it gets to the end…
That's what they say...
I mean someone would still have to go and open it up, swap the rolls around, plus it wouldn’t work well since the towels don’t wind up cleanly in the cabinet and they’d still be wet.
If you’re gonna send someone in to do anything they might as well change the towels while they’re at it.
Wtf is that
A towel dispenser?
No shit I mean like, how is that not really gross? Does it clean the towel? Or move it from a clean to dirty compartment for someone to clean each day when it runs out? Isn't it thicker than a paper towel, and therefore gonna run out faster?
It has a clean roll and a dirty roll. Someone takes out the dirty roll and replaces the clean roll periodically. Apparently they typically have about 30 meters of cloth, enough for about 200 uses.
How often that is, depends on how frequently it’s used.
There are cleaning services that wash the cloth and swap them for you.
