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.

  • pinch your nose and try to breathe through it
  • Count your fingers
  • Check a clock
  • Read text

  • Ask how you got here.
  • Ask where/what/why.
  • Try to observe stillness.
  • Stare at one item for way too long and watch it gain detail.
  • Ask strangers impossible questions about your self.
  • Close your eyes and see if you remember opening them.
  • Check if text and numbers change or fail to stay tell a coherent idea.
  • Do not disturb the second ones as it just wakes you up.
  • Just confidently Harry Potter your ass though a wall, it will work if you convince yourself.
  • Stare at your hand for too long, 5 is hard to keep track of.
  • Look in a mirror and watch your brain short out a bit.
  • Hit a light switch a few times, see if lights break reality.

Adding to this:

  • Phones/computers never work correctly

Gosh, I have that recurring theme that I want/need to call 112 (European 911) but mistype every time... Three digits. But I will fail every time.

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Trust me, you won't fuck up if you ever need to.

How do I know? Have called multiple times.

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Reading text works really well for me.

When you realise that you can choose the text before you read it, you're on the road to lucid dreaming!

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

That first one is the only one that almost never fails me.

There's only been 3 or 4 times out of hundreds where I was like, yep, that's normal, and didn't become lucid.

AI image generators seem to have trouble with fingers too. I wonder if there's a connection.
