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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I've met plenty of very athletic, strict diet people who snore. Tons of variables are to be considered as to what causes it.
To the OP's question: It depends. Again, lots of variables. If they have any concerns, they should talk to a doctor and not rely solely on answers from the Internet when it comes to medical questions.
There can be physical problems that cause snoring, your right there are many variables, but its not normal.
The problem with "strict diet" is it doesn't account for metabolic health. There are many unhealthy diets out there, one feature of which can be misplaced fat. For instance there are many professional athletes with T2D.
It's less common for young people to snore, so its a indicator there is a underlying metabolic issue they can address (if they care to). Think of snoring as subclinical sleep apnea (for illustrative purposes only), there is a spectrum of airway obstruction - you can go quite far down that spectrum without suffering major effects, but its a indicator of less then ideal metabolic health.
I don't know if you're correct or not but regardless, this argument definitely sounds like that doctor who told John Green it's not normal to sneeze
How many times have you sneezed today? Do you often sneeze with no stimulating cause? I watched the video, and while the doctor's statement is reported without nuance (Mr Green didn't speak with the doctor, he interviewed someone who spoke to a doctor many years ago and that was their recollection), I think it is a valid diagnostic question especially for a allergist or immunologist to use. FWIW I have only sneezed with some stimulating cause, and not "out of the blue", to the best of my recollection. I think it's reasonable for a doctor in the context of a diagnostic conversation to say "I never sneeze" leaving out the implicit (without stimulation) to try to coax out patient experiences by illustrating their importance. How about you?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoring
It's a fair interpretation of the question, but I believe the original question was one more of practice than theory. In theory, it's abnormal to snore. In practice, a good chunk of the population does snore.
I totally agree with this statement, its very common in the current population.
However, it's not healthy, so it isn't normal in so far as normal implies healthy.
Thanks doc.
