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.

they say that the sense of 'deja-vu' you get is your brain incorrectly writing 'timestamps' relating to memories. so, theres a valid scientific reason why we get those feelings.

I read it was sort of a lag between the sensory and memory parts of the brain I could be meting

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Sometimes yes, and I tend to get deja vu very often, occasionally its even recursive where I'm having deja vu of having deja vu.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Happened before in general? Or specially to me? Everything as is exactly everything or just general things (getting up, working, ..)?

So many options that mean entirely different things.

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

yes, when i was around 18-20 i had very strong deja vu all the time where i knew what would happen next, like I've lived it before. down to knowing the exact words/tone people were about to say, things they'd end up doing, etc.

now, I'll get that same feeling but it doesn't result in correct predictions anymore. no idea why it used to, but it was always weird.

I would hypothesize that people would start with strong psychic abilities in early stages of their life, but the longer we live the more these abilities dull or become loss all together. Not because of old age, but because the accumulated disruptions to our minds with passage of time (radio waves, internet, brainwash media, indoctrinations, etc). We are constantly bombarded with psychic disruptions passing through as well as being reprogrammed to lose our abilities through brainwashing and indoctrination. We are made to conform to arbitrary societal constructs that work against us without realizing it.

this honestly sounds stereotypically insane :)

[–] JayJLeas@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I've experienced the same thing. I miss it sometimes.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 6 points 1 month ago

I imagine there are very few truly unique experiences in this life and that someone has likely been through exactly what you're going through in a different time and place.

Like watching a movie you already watched? Having no perceived control over one's actions?

Yea that's called depersonalization...

[–] benni@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

All that I wanted were things I had before.

All that I needed, I never needed more.

All of my questions were answers to my sins.

All of my endings were waiting to begin.

Quoth the raven, nevermore.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sometimes I get a profound sense my life is shit like it always were, but a different shit, not the same every time.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's nothing new under the sun

[–] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And yet no two snowflakes are identical. What a Thinky™ !
