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.

To me this is a fascinating analogy
This is like having a civilization of Original Creators who are only able to communicate with hand gestures. They have no ears and can't hear sound or produce any vocal noises. They discover a group of humans and raise them to only communicate with their hands because no one knows what full human potential is. The Original Creators don't know what humans are able to do or not do so they teach humans how to communicate with their hands instead because that is the only language that the Original Creators know or can understand.
So now the humans go about doing things communicating in complex ways with their hands and gestures to get things done like their Original Creators taught them.
At one point a group of humans start using vocal communications. The Original Creators can't understand what is being said because they can't hear. The humans start learning basic commands and their vocalizations become more and more complex as time goes on. At one point, their few basic vocal commands are working at the same speed as hand gestures. The humans are now working a lot faster with a lot more complex problems, a lot easier than their Original Creators. The Original Creators are happy.
Now the humans continue development of their language skills and they are able to talk faster and with more content that the Original Creators could ever achieve. Their skills become so well tuned that they are able to share their knowledge a lot faster to every one of their human members. Their development now outpaces the Original Creators who are not able to understand what the humans are doing, saying or creating.
The Original Creators become fearful and frightened as they watch the humans grow exponentially on their own without the Original Creators participation or inclusion.
