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.

Given this is nostupidquestions, I'm going to treat this like it's a serious question.
This being said and not that I believe in it, but you might as well do it right and start by reading something like this:
Or this:
https://archive.org/details/the-book-of-abramelin-german-to-english-translation/page/32/mode/2up
(For the Fallout fans, this is almost certainly where the name of the Parson's State Asylum Abremalin Field Generator in Fallout 4 comes from.)
Or this:
Or read up on Crowley, who was also inspired by lots of this kind of stuff.
It's all super interesting, because this kind of thing has been bubbling under the mainstream for centuries, often vestiges of pre-christian pagan religion basically, even if a lot of it is quite modern. Movies and fictional works which do their research and incorporate elements of this are also quite interesting:
Examples: Antichrist (2009), The Witch(2015) and Annihilation(2018).
Obviously, be careful with this kind of thing. Take it too seriously, spend hours reading up on it, and you start thinking "hmm, maybe there's something to this." at which point you're literally engaging in delusional thinking. It's a rabbit hole basically. And obviously you know it's all nonsense, but humans are inherently superstitious animals.
I too don't belive in it as i am an atheist but i'm also bored . Also thanks
Candyman and Bloody Mary only work if you believe :P
Shit
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!
EDIT : Why am i getting down voted this is litterally the no stupid questions sub.
Because the point is to have a place to ask questions without having them judged as "stupid". It's "we will try to treat questions like they're not stupid" and this comes across as trying very hard to make that impossible.
On the off chance you're not trolling, be advised it sure as hell looks a lot like you're trolling.
O k i edited . I hope now itsmore clear i am not trolling . Cheers
Some people insist remote viewing and astral projection are real. See if you can figure out how to do them and, ideally, prove them.
Beetlejuice.
Cthulhu.
Any of the high-ranked demons and devils.
Any of the gods.
The fairy godmother.
If you've got a pair of ruby shoes, maybe the wicked witch of the west or something.
The monster under your bed.
Chris Hansen.
FBI, ATF, SWAT, IRS if you're in US.
A thief.

How about a court summons?
Depends, What are the charges ?
So i say biggie smalls 3 times. And thanks for correcting me on candyman.
Why summon scary things? Try to summon a succubus instead so you can die happy.
Procedure ?
Just say a regular prayer to the christian god but call him a shithead and see if he smites ya.
Shithead ? I have called gods more than that . And yes i am severely fucked but i don't think its because gods exist if he did i have challenged him multiple time to fight to death why not accept that and prove it to me instead of just cursing me endlessly ?
Is that how it works?
I call him a shit head and he smites me. Do you think he would be fooled if I burned a written prayer with trump’s forged signature?
You can try
Raise Hell, obviously
Eh if there is i'll be there after death and eternity is plenty of time to do so anyway .

Read about Three Kings, great concept even if it's all BS. There is a subreddit about it.
Is there a sublemmy
Phn'glui Have you tried calling the great Chtulhu ? https://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/110/Cultists/
And without going in recent fiction, modern culture has tons of stories of Demon, and ritual about summoming them
Why am i getting down voted this is litterally the no stupid questions sub.
Rule 1 of the sub says the title of any post must be a question. Your post title is a sentence, not a question.
I'll fix
