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 (20m) am 6'5" tall. One of my female friends who's 5'5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?

Unless you have disproportionately small arms, I don't know why she would think that. It's not like my arms are disproportionately shorter to the rest of my tall-ass body. They fall around the same place as a short guy's would and I can block as well as anyone else at my level in the martial arts classes I've taken.

Also you seem oddly fixated on belly related attacks and wounds. Are you in danger of being stabbed or thinking of stabbing someone else?

You seem to have a lot of questions regarding stabbing, knifes, rapiers, belly wounds... Maybe get some martial arts or self-defense expert and ask them! Generally you'd find them in some club or sports event and less so in random corners of the internet.

If you're 6'6" you're in for a lot of stupid questions and statements. How's the weather up there... Do you play basketball... How tall are you... Wow, you're tall... And a myriad of other silly comments. I guess this is just one of those conversation starters.

Usually these don't make sense. But are some form of compliment, an (awkward) way to get a conversation going, etc.

I'd say the proper way to defend against a knife attack to your belly is either have a massive belly so the blade can't reach your organs, or bring a gun and shoot them first. Or do it like Crocodile Dundee. Or just run away. All of that can be done at any body height.

Honestly, if someone pulls a knife you're fucked anyway. I like to say that the best sport for self defence is track running. Less risk of being injured, and no risk of dealing with legal consequences of injuring someone.

Is this a novelty account or something, what's with the fixation on your belly? You've been milking this subject for 2 months.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not seen the other posts, but maybe the question has not been answered or the answer they are looking for hasn't been said

So he was wondering in two other posts about belly wounds from swords and asked if being tall made him more vulnerable. And then by coincidence a coworker told him that being tall made him vulnerable to being stabbed in the belly by a pocket knife? And he didn't know what she meant by that but had asked others the same question a month earlier?
