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.

Sorry dbl reply. I wanted to explain my “hamburger” better. I’m sure you’re a smart person but I know I have a bad habit of explaining something a wild metaphor from left field lol.
You should also know my mental image of myself is a British person although I’m really from Texas. Forgive me if if I sound posh in my explanation.
Imagine if we carpooled together to work
Me: I’ll pick up lunch for us before getting you. You’re right hammer tho aren’t you… tell you what send me the money first! $3 for the burger plain $5 if you want it special and $7 if you want extras.
How much do you send?
Well if you don’t care send only $3. If you want pickles on the burger or chips and a shake well that’s extra isn’t it?
I’m not saying “bacon on a burger is silly” I’m saying if you want bacon ask for bacon. Don’t just pay $7 and hope you like the extras and custom toppings.
When someone asks “what are these three burgers different prices” I feel like the answer is “just get the cheap burger if you don’t recognize the Swiss mushroom difference… you maybe just don’t like mushrooms”
Edit: again to be clear I’m not suggesting you should never take risks and order the “special” burger and give it a shot on a night out. I’m just saying if the question is “different prices, WHY?” My answer is “get the cheaper one”
You want the movie? It has the movie. Boom done. If you want pickles you’ll know to ask for pickles.
