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.

Those are urban myths that kids tell each other for fun. Their attraction lies in creating a sense of underlying danger in everyday situations like a bathroom mirror, and a sense of thrill in daring each other to try to test the myth.

If you want to be more afraid alone at home, some understated horror movies like The Ring are a good choice.

If you are wanting to experience fear and thrill of of overcoming it, some things to try:

  • Go hiking alone in the dark, preferably in an area with no actually dangerous predators.
  • Bungee jumping.
  • Run around the house with your eyes closed.

Yea i k ow that but i don't know if everyone of them has been tested by someobe so i guess i wanted to test it as i said for fun . Horror movies don't do shit for me except maybe jumpscares but thats just cheap. Planning ti do a skydiving someday and hiking this summer. That running around house with eyes closed is asking for hospital bill.

experience fear and thrill of of overcoming it

Riffing off this idea slightly, but I strongly recommend lead climbing. Perfect combo of fear factor - you fall a lot - with limited risk of actually injuring yourself - you're attached to a rope!
