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 was a sleep walker as a kid. I'd have vivid dreams that made sense in the dream, but were complete jibberish to anyone who saw me acting them out.
One time a babysitter saw me doing this, thought I was awake, and argued with me.
All the babysitter saw was me open the door to her room, walk past her, dragging a blanket behind me, and attempt to open the door to the hallway that lead down a flight of stairs.
She asked "Where are you going?" And I just said "Pittsburgh". She was like "You're not going to Pittsburgh! How would you even get there?"
And I said "The bus is going to Pittsburgh."
And she said "Why are you bringing my blanket to Pittsburgh?"
And I said "What blanket?"
And said "The one in your hand."
I said "Thats a football."
And she starts laughing, and asks "Why are you bringing a football to Pittsburgh???"
And I said "The Browns need this football. They're waiting for me."
And she could not stop laughing, but also making sure I didn't walk down the stairs. By now realizing I'm not awake. Her fear was that I'd just fall down the stairs. She didn't realize that at home I sleep walked down stairs all the time. Like.....nightly.
She just kept laughing, which in my dream, she was the teacher, and she wouldn't let me step on the bus, and was openly laughing at me, for trying to deliver the ceremonial opening season football on Monday Night Football. This was in the late 80s, when the Browns weren't a joke.
I kept telling the teacher to step aside, because I had destiny ahead of me. And everything I said, made my teacher laugh more and more at how she thought I was stupid for thinking she'd let me on the bus.
Back in reality, the babysitter was hearing me talk more and more insane. And she found it hilarious, but didn't want me to fall down the stairs.
The next morning, my babysitter made fun of me.
Did the Browns ever get that football?
Nope. They never let me on the damn bus. Sorry Bernie Kosar!
