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.

Context:

  • My partner is Brazilian
  • I’ve spent time in Brazil
  • There is a large Brazilian community where I live
  • I have multiple friends & colleagues that are from Brazil

Having said all of that, Brazil is massive so I still only have a small sample size to go off of.

The Question I was chatting with my partner about screen time the other day. They were saying that there time has gone down recently (it’s about 6.5 hours per day on average).

If we’re watching a TV show and we pause to get some refreshments, they’ll go straight to Instagram/TikTok while I’m up. It’s not even that I’m up for a long time — like 2 minutes

It got me think about the other Brazilians I know. The vast majority of them would be the same. I noticed this while in Brazil as well, basically everyone used Instagram for news and gossip (all the time).

Again, my sample size is pretty small compared to the population of Brazil but from my experience working and engaging socially with people from all over the world, Brazilians seem to be at the top of this “list” of always being online. Is all of this true (for the most part) across the population or is just skewed significantly for me?

personal context, I average 3.5-4.5 screen on time per day. I do use my phone for work as well, so occasionally it’s higher

My screen time average is 9.30, I use my phone for work which probably knocks it up a bit, but people chat on their phones now. I don't think this is a Brazil thing, just a now thing.

This article suggest your partner is bang on average.
