No Stupid Questions
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'm gonna chime in: Last time I checked for an international flight, they said you're not allowed to carry unmarked pills. It has to be in the original packaging including that leaflet. If you don't do that, you might be in for an interesting day.
And if you're travelling abroad: Check if that OTC medication is also OTC in the destination country.
Airport security, particularly in the US where many airports have international and domestic departures out of the same terminal, will not care about that. I regularly travel with OTC pills loose in a container and no documentation, and have had no issues.
Where you might encounter problems is on entering that foreign country. While they have never ever given me grief over my OTC medicines, I try to make sure to remember to buy stuff in original packaging to bring. But even then, as long as you are only bringing enough for your trip they probably won't care. Prescription medicines should absolutely be in original containers, though.
It's real hit or miss. I've had TSA search through my daughters bag of Goldfish looking for stuff in a podunk little airport while I'm rushed through in busier international airports.
Ah, the smaller airports are probably worse, because they don't have much to do and have to justify the investment in all the fancy machines.
Example of note: France won’t sell Sudafed, so bringing any might be a risk unless you have a printed and signed rx. That being said, their pharmacies are pretty good. Shoutout to the migraine medication with codeine in it.
