When speaking informally, you can drop だ often in this situation. I would if I were asking something like this of my friends. If a friend of mine, Yoshino, invited me to a big New Years Eve event her father got her tickets for but didn't tell me what it was at first, I'd immediately ask 紅白なの? (紅白歌合戦 is the name of a very famous end-of-year "concert".)

And what's a "blob"?
LMAO in my head I was typing blog....but it seems my fingers didn't follow my little brain comands

Well you answered one of my long time questions lol. I had always wondered why I would find informal phrases ending in のか when の shows questions. I didn't know it also shows a non-question phrase.
Thank you. I didn't know you can actually finish the phrase with a noun, I thought only with i-adjectives or verbs (or various particles). So can you also drop it in the form のだ? I don't know, something like ...魚んだ instead of ...魚なんだ?

暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ
everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ
辛い時こそ胸を張れ
