!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.

Back pain.
Which Corporate State I'll have to migrate mt family to after the US is broken up by oligarchs. Then the subsequent Russian landgrab.
the children STILL AWAKE running around upstairs
Being old.
I used to be able to sleep endlessly.
Now I find myself awake early in the morning, despite having gone to bed rather late. And I'd like to go back to sleep but I can't.
I miss it.
And this isn't even about needing to get up to pee. That's apparently something I still have to look forward to.
I was about to ask how often you wake up to per but oof.
Graveyard shift job.
Trouble sleeping…
What doesn't these days?
Doomscrolling lemmy
Youtube videos
The fact that a literal convicted felon became president again after already attempting an auto-coup in the previous term, I keep anticipating a "Martial Law Declared" emergency alert with gunshots of soldiers echoing in the distance. Maybe I'm over-reacting, maybe I'm not over-reacting enough.
Edit: It's 4:37 AM here lol my sleep schedule is so fucked.
If we nuke ourselves now, we'll never figure out the mysteries surrounding black holes or the origins of the omg particle
For the Oh-My-God particle hitting a nitrogen nucleus, this gives 2900 TeV, which is roughly 200 times higher than the highest collision energy of the Large Hadron Collider, in which two high-energy particles going opposite directions collide.
The Oh-My-God particle's energy was estimated as (3.2±0.9)×1020 eV, or 51±14 J. Although this amount is phenomenally large for a single elementary particle – far outstripping the highest energy that human technology can generate in a particle – it is still far below the level of the Planck scale, where exotic physics is expected. Though a subatomic particle, its energy was comparable to the gravitational potential energy of a 1 kilogram object that could fall 5 meters off a two-story building
Waking up to being taken to a camp because I exist
My cat.
Step 1: Pick up cat and keep holding them.
Step 2: They get overstimulated and leave you alone? (your experience might vary)

step 2: get up, find cat
step 3: play with cat
step 4: cat goes to sleep
step 5: now i'm wired, i can't sleep
step 6: nyquil

Your mom.
Being awake
Insomnia but lately I've been treating it with weed and it has gone quite well.

Shoulder and hip discomfort as I am an obligate side sleeper entering my late 40s.

Stubbornly not taking my antidepressants in the morning, whether relenting later in the day or not. Venlafaxine, how I love thee and thy withdrawals.
My friends. I seem to have this weird ability where if I start talking to someone, time will go by really fast and then we suddenly realize it's some ungodly hour of the morning.
Anxiety
trying to make the biggest financial comeback known to mankind
The demon from the horror movie, Smile (and the sequel Smile 2).
