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.

I don't really see anyone admitting the truth: digital hoarding. At a certain number of tabs it becomes nearly impossible to find anything so it's hard for me to believe people really find the practice as useful as they claim. I probably have 50 tabs open but I use a tab group extension that keeps most hidden (and Firefox doesn't load the content in inactive tabs after you restart it). Most are essentially bookmarks but I'd be lying if I said even 20% of them end up being useful to keep open.

because I'm working on multiple tasks at once, and some of those tasks require comparing things like data sheets or products or reading multiple documents
-
because I don't want to dig up the thing I was looking at yesterday with a 10-tab group, but I also ran out of time yesterday to complete the task
-
because I can and it's convenient
-
because I keep something open until I have dealt with it, so it functions as a task list

I wonder the same about people with hundreds of unread emails. Almost as if they don't know that you can unsubscribe from newsletters.
I go through and unsub to stuff, but some keep coming back. Then I make a filter to delete them when they come.
When your inbox is a mess, email stops working for you. It’s impossible to find anything worth reading, so you end up reading nothing.
Same with notifications. If you allow all of them, it’s functionally the same as disabling the whole notification system.
Just checked and I've got 24 tabs open right now. Basically in my case I have a list of things I'd want to do at any given moment (chat on Whatsapp, watch anime, learn Chinese, etc), so each one gets its own tab group with things I'd usually want for the thing in question easily accessible. For example in my anime tab group I have My Anime List, two tabs with different anime and Reddit discussion threads. Also in my defense I'm looking for an oven right now so that's inflating my tab numbers a little.

No idea. I close tabs as soon as I'm done. Also private tab by default
No clue. The only time I have more than three open is when I'm researching some stupid question I have, and then I immediately close them after I get the answer. Even then, if I get too many, and am frustrated in my search, I'll close them all in disgust and start over.
If it's something I want to save for reference, I save it locally with the SingleFile extension, because contrary to popular belief, shit gets deleted off websites all the time.
