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 see writing a novel is on your list of priorities though. Thought you were done.
The irony of your response accusing me of all the things you lack and cannot comprehend is so strong I can taste it.
Your first comment to the top one was "thanks sherlock". You don't think that's insulting? Oh right. You're above that. You don't insult people by ironically calling them by Sherlock, the master detective.
Pathetic.
~~Holy fuck, as you wish. There is clearly no chance of changing a mind of a limited self-centered stubborn asshole. Keep being insulted for others, that's where sanity lies.~~
~~The irony of not being able to defend yourself in any way than calling others stupid is palpable.~~
Actually scratch what I said there because that lady thing that you said was so hilariously over anything I've ever experienced I must have heard something like that in a sitcom or something. "Your first comment to the top one was "thanks sherlock". You don't think that's insulting? Oh right. You're above that. You don't insult people by ironically calling them by Sherlock, the master detective. "
"Pathetic."
Such crashing insult that was, his ego must have been destroyed. Is that why he didn't say anything after? The burn must have been incinerating, he is still in recovery. Let me test something: NO SHIT WATSON. I'm sorry for doing that to you, and causing endless sleepless nights. It's an experiment. For science.
I can't stop imagining you on a white steed in massive armour, looking at me, a lowly peasant, and striking me down like a worm that I am, call of "PATHETIC" on your lips, me whimpering "I only called him Sherlock spare me good sire". I've been down this whole week, needed good laugh, so thank you. I have never met somebody so up in their ass.
You didn't say that to be nice. You tried to insult their intelligence by itonically calling them clever. You thinking it's not a major insult is irrelevant. But when faced with your own hypocrisy you can do nothing but deflect.
You coming in here like "oh insulting someone is the last of my priority" yet it was the first thing you did. Am I wrong?
I'm not up my ass. Just calling out your hypocrisy. I can see you're taking it well.
