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.

Very open IRL and online. I don't understand the concept of shame around basic boring facts of my humanity.
It upsets a lot of people. Often people who are very concerned about their image and seeking validation from other people who are very closed off and present themselves in a very selective way. These people often accuse me of being pretentious and judgemental... which is precisely what they are doing, and often are deeply ashamed of themselves.
I just don't really understand what the big deal is personally. But I grew up in a household where everything i did was constantly shamed, so I just kind of became indifferent to it because most of my family are really stupid people who get upset about every inconsequential thing. Over the holiday my brother asked me what dish I wanted for from Chinese take out, and I asked what kind of chinese and he called me a stupid asshole for asking that. Where I live there are different styles of Chinese food, where he lives there is only shitty Americanized Chinese food. In his mind I an asshole for even asking the question. Where I live they don't have every dish at every place and I don't ever really get the americanized dishes.
I also went to a famous college and people's reactions to that fact about me... alarming. I don't really regard my attendance of this place as significant, but my biggest regret about going is the way people treat me because of it. If someone doesn't care about it, I'm genuinely impressed, because most people care about it and attack me for it because it makes them feel inadequate or something. It's been an issue in so many relationships/friendships and I just don't understand why it is relevant at all, but to other people this fact is extremely important.
