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.

I know typically people are happy with falling back one hour with this time change, but regardless which time change is happening I seem to lose all focus and drive at work for a good 2-4 weeks.

This happens when I travel as well and but my friends and family generally seem not to mind change in time.

Anyone have any interesting information on this? I’ve searched far and wide but it usually results in numerous (worthless) lighthearted “here’s what to expect”-style news articles.

I’m the opposite. Maybe my sleep debt can be that bad, but the one hour shift, where night comes when my working day is over, helps me so much separating the two parts of my life so well. Besides, getting up early with sun is wonderful!

I read somewhere that data was released that the week of day light savings had an increase of vehicle collisions.

I think it's normal to feel tired when your sleep is disrupted/ changed. Some people are more affected than others.

Heart attacks go up as well.

I need a day or two to adjust. Doesn't matter if the clock goes forward or backwards.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 13 hours ago

It fucks with me in that I lose focus, but it's depressing AF to work while the sun is shining and leave as it's going down. I'm not a farmer, give me that mf sunlight back so I can hang out with friends :p

Spring forward fucks with me.

Fall back is just annoying because I get the sun right in the eyes on the drive to work again.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Also, that last hour of work feels like you should be on the way home already.

It's interesting that some people get so disrupted by the time changes. I wouldnt even notice of others didn't mention it.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago

It makes me wonder how people can travel like one timezone over and not have crippling issues because of it.

It's likely not the change with the DST that messes people, but the obsession with worrying about it that does.

Not in this economy!

Sounds like having your sleep schedule thrown off really messes you up. Do other routines changing have a similar effect?

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I believe age and exercise are two important factors here. Older people tend to function okay on less sleep. Regular exercise helps with both regular sleep and sleep schedule adjustments. If you can, try to put in more exercise for a few days after the switch. Hopefully it helps.
