No such thing. Ask away!

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.

Yeah, this. It would be tasteful to get a gift card to any local coffee shop, or Target, or one of those $20 Visa gift cards, though they have like a $5 overhead just to activate them.
Homemade pastries are a bit weird if you don't know someone that well, and store-bought pastries are hard if you don't know what they like.
The Visa gift card, bc then they can use as they please - vices, spices, and crisis.
1 billion times this.
A personalized thank-you card/note, for sure... telling them you appreciate their help and how it has helped you grow and/or become better at what you do. Doesn't have to be long, just a quick thank you
For a small token: a fun badge reel is usually always welcome. Maybe a very tiny gift bag with a keychain-sharpie, a badge reel, keychain (tiny) flashlight. Things nurses always use and appreciate, not very expensive. Coffee gift card is normally always welcome too, but can be a little more expensive, depending on your budget
Here's a fun little present.
If you're in the US go to the bank and get a roll of gold dollar coins. Then go to a hobby shop and get some draw string bags, the kind Robin Hood would carry.
I'm pretty sure no one has ever given any of them a bag of gold coins before.
Do American banks all have gold dollars in store, or is this something that has to be "booked" in advance?
Some banks have them, some don’t. It depends on what’s in stock that day. Tried to ask for a stack of US$2 bills once and they told me I’d need to place an order for US$10,000 in order to get them in because they don’t keep them stocked.
Just go to an atm near a strip club.
We used to get Jeffersons back (with some Sacajaweas or suzyBs) from the p.a.t-h train into NYC at the turnstyles as change back from a Lincoln.
You cannot spend most of that anywhere and I still have some stashed in a box so many years later.
And it was fun naming the money, thank you for asking.
Dollar coins haven't been popular in the US for a long time. Same with fifty cent pieces. If you ask for a roll of dollar coins you'll get a bunch of silver colored ones in with the gold ones. The last time I did it it took a couple of trips, but my buddy really liked it. He's into fantasy.
I remember 50 cents was pretty popular in the early to mid 00s. But beyond that I don't think I've ever seen one. Plenty of quarters and dollar notes, but nothing in between.
In my area I've noticed that some stores are starting to charge more for using a credit card. I predict that cash is going to make a comeback.
