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.

Seriously, on a daily basis I'll either bump my head or various other body parts, drop stuff and then drop it again, stumble over something and combinations of all of that.

Send help.

Edit: thank for the suggestions, I will start by focussing on what I'm actually doing at the time and try to be more active - I work from home and sit a lot.

An attempt at a serious answer (I'm not a doctor). The blood vessels that connected you to your mom during pregnancy dry up and become ligaments connecting the inside part of your belly button to your liver and bladder, so that's what's on the other side.

Your skin/body doesn't dent and pucker like something made out of tin. It's stretchy and resilient. If you put a vacuum nozzle on your forearm, sure, the skin will get pulled into it a bit, but when you take it off, the skin will return to normal (maybe with some temporary swelling).

So with enough suction, you might get your belly button to pucker out, but it won't stay that way, especially with the ligament pulling back. On the other hand, as others have mentioned, you can get it to stick out by pushing on it from the inside, as happens to a lot of pregnant women when the baby is pushed up against it. Even in those cases it goes back after the baby is born though.

I'm not sure what part your don't understand.

Nothing you wrote is relevant to the original question op asked. It's a total non sequitur comment.

I was only looking at your reply in my inbox, so had to do the "show context" thing to see what you were talking about. I made my comment on the thread about using a plunger to turn an innie belly button into an outie, at least I'm pretty sure I did. I've been seeing a lot of comments that are clearly in the wrong thread, so apparently there's a bug, but I don't know what triggers it.

Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, well then no worries lol. I thought you were just posting an odd copy pasta I hadn't seen before.

Thanks for clearing that up.
