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.

Well I know which half I'm in.
Reminds me of:
(Sorry, not sure why this has weird artifacts after I uploaded it. The copy on my phone looks fine.)
Maybe more like 50%. But maybe it just seems like that to me, I might just be a mid tier dum-dum ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Yes, we all do, and most of us outgrow it.
No, this is a classic case of confirmation bias on social media. And I've seen too many people on Lemmy on the daily who have developed a smug attitude and think that everyone else is just another idiot and talk down to others from the start because of it. For a crowd that preaches compassion and understanding, sometimes I wonder why it's only selectively applied by these folks.
Yeap, Its actually true
only when I'm driving
Well, it is not "90% of people is stupid"
It is more "at any given time, the 90% of people is doing something stupid", or the equivalent statement "90% of the time people does stupid things"
IIRC math guys call this an "ergodic and stationary" system
The last time someone said they felt this way they later removed all doubt they were a secret asshole, and had no empathy one major presidential election later. Take a close look at the person you are and what you want to be.
I think they haven't tapped into their potential intelligence.
Snark mode activated: After reading through the "Threads Federation" comments, and seeing what opinions/comments are currently most popular, I'm going to go with YES.
But jokes aside, my actual personal opinion is no.
can't say about rest of the population but when I read about some great people, I feel there's too much to learn and too little time.
and it happens every single day.
It definitely seems like 90 percent of people will twist themselves into knots to find a way to defend their beliefs regardless of how wrong those beliefs might be, morally and factually.
Admitting that you are wrong is hard.
