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.

Yes, it looks like a dumb question, but hear me out.

I've recently discovered that, for babies, it's normal to sleep in sleeping bags. They can either look like this (not great, with the arms out) or... - prepare for what you're about to see - like this.

Now - how awesome must that feel? Naturally, my fist instinct was to look up sleeping bags like that for grownups. Unfortunately, they apparently do not exist. I can only find the usual sleeping bags that are used for camping etc., which are all made of that horrible, plasticky, noisy material.

So my question is twofold: do "home sleeping bags" for adults exist? And, if not, WHY?

I don't know if you have kids but once they start to stand, crawl and walk, the first option becomes hell. And this would be my answer, it is just unfeasible when you are an adult because you have to get up in the night etc and opening that huge bag is difficult.

That being said, there are baby/toddler/kids sleeping bags with open feet. I have no clue how to post pictures here (yes I am that "tech stupid" and I have no idea how my toddler keeps making screenshots on my phone because I cannot replicate that) but just type sleeping bag with feet in google. They are also awfully cute and actually very comfy. Now they make sense, for adults, too, and I want to stress that I am very mad I found out that adult ones do indeed exist only one month ago because I can tell you, with SIDS and cosleeping being a prominent problem, sleeping in a cold room with no blanket but having to have your boobs available is a nightmare. Every soon to be parent should be taught these exist. So in case you are looking for one, I hope this is how you insert a link here.

And for the latter: I think it is also a matter of moving around, feeling of freedom, liking the weight of the blanket, being able to share it. Maybe this is why but Idk.

This response was more in depth than anything I was expecting. Thanks! As a newly minted father, the idea of sleeping bags with feet is kinda cool, should I start co-sleeping. Again thanks for your response
