There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

I always kinda wanted an EasyBakeOven (or QueasyBakeOven to get around the annoying gender stereotypes)

Also had the Baskin' Robbins Ice Cream maker but my stupid mother wouldnt let me use it for some reason. Like she made it seem like she needed to be involved for me to use it and she wouldnt make herself available for that -> defacto unusable by fiat

I always wanted the die-cast metal Transformers toys from the 80s. My god parents' son had a bunch and they were the fucking shit. Especially Megatron and Soundwave.

I see multiple people saying they wanted an EZ Bake Oven: It was great, but it was kind of a one and done for me since where we lived they sold more of the oven than the recipe kits to use with it. Once the stuff that came with it was cooked, it basically never got used except to maybe melt GI Joes for "battle damage."

I never understood the appeal of die-cast/metal/"things that just are"/model, toys

They had weight to them and didn't break as easily like the plastic stuff. Made 'em feel more like actual robots.
