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.

You really don't understand the question?

How could I be expected to know the intent of your question when so little context is provided? If you ask such a general question, you can only expect a vague answer based on whatever I guessed was what you wanted. In order to not guess and more accurately answer what you want I have to ask for more detail on what you're asking. Otherwise I just have to assume you didn't actually want an answer.

(Always end it with an accusation. You people are all alike.)

But seriously.

It's simple. Think about what characterizes you. Think about those who share these characteristics. Think of that group.

What horrible errors are members of that group often guilty of?

Ah, I see. Well I suppose my horrible error is thinking differently from you, then.

I think this is what's so confusing for most readers... my characteristics don't put me in a group - some facets of my personality can be grouped with others but in some sense of the word I'm unique. There are almost certainly people out there with nearly identical sets of views, I guess, but nobody else shares my precise experiences. So what characteristics are you curious about.... Hobbies? Race? Culinary Preferences? Age? Interest in literature? There are thousands of ways to group people so uh... the question is extremely vague and feels very reductive.

Coming back to this thread because I'm now convinced OP is a troll

Very well said, though! Our characteristics make us all unique. We have some common attributes, but no one is the same person as anyone else. Even identical twins are different people and can't really be "grouped"
