Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What should I have for dinner today? Jokes aside probably something unimportant like: which stock on arbitrary stock market will perform the best from the first to last day of 2024.
I don't really want to know the answer to the big philosophical questions, because what if the answer is depressing? "The meaning of life is arbitrary and nothing you do matters"
I don't really care to know the truth about something controversial because I'd be no different from a fanatic arguing blindly for their side. Noone else knows I know.
I don't want to know the secrets to some revolutionary technology. The explanation would be lost on me anyway and it's not like I could explain it to someone who can build a fusion reactor or whatever.
I don't really want to know the truth about why by ex left me or other events in life. If I had infinite questions I'd start here, but there are too many of these and none of them are that uncomfortable to live with.
