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.

I vaguely remember when I was like 6 or 7, I was at my maternal grandparent's ancestral house and it was summer and I was just lying outside on the ground staring at the night sky, and I think the adults were just talking about stuff I don't remember. I mean its been almost 2 decades, the memory is very fuzzy. I remember ther was lizards on the house, and there was like a very swampy farmland area thing (idk how to describe it lol). It wasn't like the done with machinary, at least not at the time, it was done manually. (Luckily I never had to do that, my Hukou was rural so it would've been quite shitty), I heard from my mother there was some blood-sucking worm hiding on the farm. This was in Mainland China around 2000-2010s, so there wasn't much electricity in the village, and very few light-pollution. I don't remember there being internet, my concept of the world was so small, now I'm all the way in the United States. I heard that most people die very close to where they were born, and don't even have a passport. And I've have passports from 2 different countries! (well not simultaneously, but you get the idea)
I don't think I ever recognized any contallations, I was way too young at the time. Or maybe I did and forgot... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Now I kinda wanna just go someplace rural to see the night sky, bit unfortunately, not being white and going to a rural area in America feels... um... ๐ verrry sketchy, to say the least (cuz racism lol).
