A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

I'm going to blow your mind - bathroom doors can be closed 🤯

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Not when the cat box is in the bathroom.

You want to close up the wet room where you shit? I guess you could leave the fan running 24/7.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, it's better than letting the tiny particles of shit float through your home until the smell disperses

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Better to trap them in the same humid area so they can form colonies along with the various fungi?

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Exactly. Then when you clean your bathroom, you clean up all the shit particles along with whatever else is in there.
