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 just saw a video the other day about some guy who got seriously addicted to that stuff.
He started out as an occasional user and even set a "never two days in a row" rule for himself, until he broke it. It fucked him up bad. Do be careful.

Yeah, that's the one!
Well it's essentially just herbal opioids, so yeah, it will make you dependent then you can ease that dependence by getting even a harder dependence from like Oxy or fentanyl.
This is the actively ingredient in kratom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitragynine
I was dependent on it once, and took about a kilo and a half a month.
The shit does not fuck you up in the slightest. The downsides: enormous monster shits that clogged every toilet I took a shit in. I woke up after sleeping for four hours and had to take some more kratom. I was a little dozy.
Pros: didn't eat as much. The depression I'd suffered at the time was gone. I was able to keep up a daily exercise regiment and strict diet for almost a year. My add symptoms were pretty much gone. My back pain was nonexistent. I was genuinely content, like all the time.
Neutral: no sex drive at all.
When I decided to get off it I just titrated over two months. The process sucked but I've gone through worse shit.
I've done it shitloads of time since then, and given that the withdrawals sucked have never had an issue with doing large amounts for multiple days in a row. I don't want to.
The shit helped me through a very tough time in my life, caused no long lasting physical side effects, left me with a physique I'd wanted my whole life, a good job, and mostly positive things to say about the experience.
I wouldn't do it again mainly just because it's so fucking inconvenient having to drink green sludge every four hours, but.
Oh no. The horror. What a hell my life became on kratom, ahhhhhh
That kind of sounds like it fucked you up. Glad to hear you're doing better.
Sure. If you're illiterate I guess it does.
