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 just filled out a passport renewal form and listed "brown" as my hair color. But if I'm honest, I'm at an age where there's more gray hair than brown hair.

There's still enough brown that it's obviously my original color, so I don't think I lied on the form, but it got me wondering: what's the cutoff?

I was renewing mine at age 50 and the lady at the DMV said, "don't you think we should change your license to say grey hair?". That was the day for me.

How does she know you aren't going to regularly dye your hair its original color though?

[–] macrocephalic@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I've been bleaching and dying my hair different colours for the last few years (because I didn't go to the office for two years and then no one cared). I recently got a new passport and had blue hair for the photo. Fortunately the main photo is black and white as my hair is purple now, and will likely be a different colour by the end of the year.

Here's the thing- It's not going to get more brown as time passes. Once you find yourself having that conversation with yourself, you are gray.

I'm sure it's highly subjective. But if you want to go about it scientifically, you can survey a number of strangers to answer the question for you.

Now, where to find those strangers...

Pick me! I'm as strange as they come!

[–] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Go to 4chan. Lots of strangers there.

[–] RagingHungryPanda@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I'd say at the point you have to ask ;p

[–] Anitabath097@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Personally I would say when the white/grey overpowers the brown because it is the main color

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

When you stop dyeing it.

[–] cly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Use Brown unless 100% grey.

I have to get a new license next year, My hair is a mix of brown and white, but my beard is fully white. So yeah, that's a good question, not sure what to put there.
