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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Hey!

There's some things I am planning on ordering, and I'd like to get them delivered without my parents knowing.

The things in question are some 23w CFL bulbs, e27 sockets, PC fans and a power strip.
I was originally planning on just buying them in person, but literally no shops near me have them.

I can't actually find them anywhere but the american version of amazon -- my country's (Ireland) version of amazon doesn't have them.

I asked a few friends if I could send the things to their house, and get it through them, but all of them said no.

LOL your parents' house is going to reek of weed. You will get caught. Grow outdoor in a hidden place or wait until you get your own apartment.

And here I was being confused why some person's parents would get so angry at them for buying computer parts from their own money. I see I was not cultured enough to understand the true question at hand.

I also had no clue what this was. No drugs for me. Lol

Growing outdoors is near-impossible here.

I don't plan on keeping the thing indoors.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Um, indoors and outdoors are the only options available.

[–] throwaway@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

Poor choice of words. I have a space outdoors where I can keep the bucket pretty hidden, but it won't grow on its own outside very well.

Then wait until you move out and get your own place. No amount of filtration nor air fresheners will hide the smell from your parents. I speak from experience. You're gonna get caught, and it's not going to be a good time.

You shouldn't start smoking weed until you're well into your mid 20s regardless. Save yourself a headache (and potential legal trouble) and just wait. Been there, done that. It's not worth it.
