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'm getting sexist racist homophobic anti trans vibes here. Should I trust my gut?
If what I’m saying even remotely resembles something your caricature of the "other" might say, then the only logical conclusion, of course, is that I must be exactly like them.
I'll take that as a yes.
Oh no! A random person on the internet thinks I'm something I'm not. How can I ever recover from this.
Oh sorry, which one out of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans was incorrect?
No need to apologize. I'm only amused by this.
Please, tell me more about me. It's my favourite subject.
Which one out of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans was incorrect?
You already said "I'll take that as a yes" and that's more than fine by me. You're free to think of me what you want. I'm not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
You said I thought you are something you're not, so which is it out of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans that you aren't?
You’re free to think of me what you want. I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
You earlier claimed that yourself was your favourite subject, yet you're mysteriously tight lipped on the subject suddenly.
If you weren't interested in convincing me that you weren't a big right wing stereotype, you wouldn't have claimed I was wrong, so I don't buy your disinterest line.
So which out of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans were you claiming not to be? It's an easy question. Feel free to share your opinions on all four culture war issues, @Free_Opinions.
I'm not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
OK. Racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans. That's quite the full set of prejudice. Why do you think you ended up with so much hate in your heart? What led you down the rabbit hole? Was it politicians telling you that your problems were because of people who aren't like you, or influencers telling you that you would be successful and happy if you follow their plan that comes with a side helping of nastiness? Are your friends right wing too, or do you keep it secret from them in real life?
I cannot defend nor explain the cause for a view I don't hold.
OK, so which out of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans is a viewpoint you don't hold?
I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
And yet every so often you deny it, but always in a vague way so that no one can tell which one out of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti trans you're denying. If you're not ashamed of your opinions, you should just say what they are.
"I'm not interested in trying to convince you otherwise" is such a simple statement, yet you keep asking the same thing again and again. If this is too difficult of a concept for you to comprehend I can't possibly imagine you grasping my nuanced view on any of the subjects you mentioned. I've engaged with enough of people like you to know to pick my battles.
Your nuanced view on racism? Your nuanced view on sexism? Your nuanced view on homophobia? Your nuanced view on being anti trans. Gotcha. Loud and clear.
