There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Dolphins understand it better than we do, and they know it's rather dangerous. That's why you don't see fire undersea.
…okay, I'm obvious joking. But serious now: I think some individual animals understand that the bright thing is hot, and if you get too close you'll get hurt. But that's from their individual experiences, not something instinctive; otherwise they'd avoid things that look like fire, such as Christmas lamps.
