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.

Lack of interest from other people.

Because I've yet to discover the secret of full-body mitosis

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This implies that you may have learned the secret of partial body mitosis... which body part have you spawned?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Individual cells, mostly.

Mostly.

Never was. I have my 2nd serious girlfriend now, I'm 45 now and I wasn't longer than maybe 2 weeks single since I was 15. No, I'm not especially attractive for the objective eye / common taste, I'm kinda fat, kinda Sport guy, just a country guy living in the city, I guess. I for myself think that I'm breathtakingly beautiful, as is my wife even more so, naturally ;) IDK, maybe I fall relatively easily in love?? And when I do, something in me changes profoundly. There were 2 or 3 girls in the weeks inbetween, but nothing to speak about. My girlfriends were all from my high school, the first one for 5 years, the second (my wife with whom I'll grow old) now 23 years and still walking the walk, still discovering new things on each other. Next year we will marry, for economical reasons, we don't need a piece of paper or any religion, as we see it, we're married, best friends, therapists, audience, business partner and much much more for each other. Plus: she must be the only individual in this universe that can bear with me silly goof. I'm sure I'd simply die without her. I don't know why, but single life never ever seriously crossed my mind as I realize just now. Not once. Hmm.

TLDR: No, codependency.

Can't find a girl cuz they're all out chasing heros.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This made me remember that stupid 4chan /vp/ meme, where people would post an image of a blinking Vaporeon and ask "why you simgle master?".

Actual answer: I've been weathering a few difficult relationships in my last years, and I'm not really in the mood for a new one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, because too young. Also, what does it matter, can't you find happiness in your life without the approval of another?

It is not clear what you are intending to ask.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The "intentions" (whatever this esoteric word means) of other people are never clear. And people might fool themselves by claiming that they know otherwise, but they don't.

In other words: OP is asking a question, treat it as such, instead of assuming too much out of it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At the time I answered, he had only gotten a few negative responses from people and a lot of downvotes, and I genuinely didn't know where to approach the question from.

Informing him that his question was unclear in a neutral tone was a genuine attempt at being helpful.

You are reading a lot more judgement from my comment than I think is appropriate.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My own comment sounded rude. Sorry for that.

I wasn't highlighting any sort of judgment from your part, I was highlighting the fact that we [people] don't really know each others' intentions. As such, it's simply easier to see OP's question by what it is, without digging too deeper on it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I see! I do appreciate you pushing for more understanding. :) Op didn't need all the negativity from people.
