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 see everyone offering NHL advice here, but there are also leagues below the NHL, and you can often see some pretty good hockey for not much money. Where I live (not in Canada), we had an AHL team, which is 1 level below the NHL. The hockey was fun to watch, and good tickets could be had for less than $100/person.
Mate I didn't know that! I could see more hockey that way which is glorious
if you haven’t seen the show Shorsey yet, it’s a funny send-up of the kind of hockey I’m talking about.
Funnily enough I heard about it a few weeks ago and smashed the first 2 seasons! I was mildly hysterical a few times it's fucking excellent
The precursor to is was called Letterkenny. Not as much about hockey, but similarly weirdly funny. Made by the same guy (who plays Shorsey). Shorsey also makes an appearance.
I just started watching it this week! First season was ok but the 2nd it's really come into it's own
If you're doing some long term planning and want max hockey, this is probably something you want to look into for 2027/28. Will be expensive but can probably do some multi game deals: https://www.nhl.com/news/world-cup-of-hockey-2028-to-be-played-in-calgary-edmonton-prague
Other than that I strongly recommend looking into some WHL and OHL seasons - all young players trying to get into the NHL, so on average the hockey is grittier and more interesting. NHL players have already made it so, though it always draws a crowd, you get more "phone it in" type games in the regular season. Playoffs are another monster entirely in both levels.
I haven't read the other comments yet, but the budding PWHL has the skill of the NHL with the scrappiness of professional women's sport. Phenomenal hockey.
Happy travels!
Ooooh good tip on the world Cup! Think it's hard to get tickets though
