Remove the trailing . to get a functioning link.

It must be client-specific as the . isn’t part of the URL for me (Thunder/iOS)

My kids still ask me stuff that they should be capable of searching for themselves.

I mean, it’s nice to still be needed, but they’re mid-teens now and if search engines are too much effort then good luck surviving in the real world. 😂

(Kids, if you’re reading this many years in the future, I do love you, I promise. 😘😄)

To be fair, the search engines of today have lost the war against SEO garbage. 10 years ago google actually gave answers.

The whole original point of NoStupidQuestions was people could ask any question. And replies couldn’t be mean or a joke. it promotes discussion, the community was incredibly kind and helpful.

Not sure if that’s the direction the Lemmy version was heading towards

Let me put it this way. I’ve never in my entire life thought, “hey I wonder if you could permanently straighten your hair” but now that OP posted this I’m very curious, and now I have an answer. This place gives us answers to question that we didn’t even know we wanted.

None of that changes my point. I was simply adding to the previous comment.

Lemmy’s version of NSQ also prohibits replies that are mean or mocking the OP. We encourage asking any question that doesn’t break the rules.

it’s better to get a summary from a human instead of having to sort through a bunch of SEO-spam sites where you have to wonder if what you’re reading is secretly an ad or written by some guy who knows nothing about the topic pumping out 20 of these 500-word articles a day for $100 a day.

it’s one of the reasons I think both chatGPT & Kagi are better for “searching” stuff than Google. At least for certain things. I hate those SEO sites. I used to write for them when I was a teen in high school to make beer money. These days I’d imagine a lot of them are just gonna be written by AI going forward

You know those sites. Kagi calls them listicles. “10 reasons why you should straighten your hair” “8 top things to keep in mind” etc etc

All of that comes down to exactly what I said. The inability to read search results.

I do agree that “ai” articles are horrible. And they’ll probably get better at what they do, unfortunately.

Your hir growslall the time. In order to permnently straighten your hair, u need any newly grown hair to also be straight . since yor hair type is contolled by DNA, you would need to alter DNA of your hair follicles. Its tecnicaly possilebuft would be extremely expensive

Chemotherapy has been known to sometimes change the curliness of a persons hair… when it grows back.

I’ve know four people, including myself who suffered hair loss with chemo. All our hair grew back more curly initially but eventually returned to pre chemo curliness.

You can chemically straighten your currently grown hair permanently. Once new hairs grow it will go back to normal.

My mom’s hair used to be really curly and volumous until around the 1990s, but it has been straight since I can remember. She said that she chemically straightened it. She doesn’t seem to reapply straighteners. I don’t think her hair is naturally straight.

!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.
