No Stupid Questions
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 know, but while we're at it, I'd be interested in this related observation:
in cases like when i reeeally need to go, my ability to guess when exactly i will be at the right spot seems to affect my ability to hold it in. as if my body is only going to do as much effort holding it in as necessary but not more, while the idea of "necessary" can be "negotiated" by lying to my body.
imaginge this typical scenario: you sit in the tram, legs crossed, then you are running home, now you are opening front door, now you are quickly running to the bathroom and just about make it. doesn't it always feel like you just about made it? like there's never a reserve?
now if one extra inconvenience stands in your way (eg. oh, turns out today for some reason you put your keys in your backpack instead of your front pocket!) then it becomes this critical moment of disagreement between your body and your brain: you can either just pee yourself or hit the emergency break to override and hold it in anyway which makes it almost painful and may even sort of "push it back", which i reckon is not a healthy thing to do.
at the same time, i've learned that I can actually prevent this from happening by "lying" to my brain early on and overestimating the exact time it will take before we are ready. like, i imagine my house is one block further. or I imagine that there's construction and we need to take a slightly longer route. or that i have my keys in a wallet on the bottom of my backpack.
this lie tends to work, surprisingly, calming the whole reaction down and (unless there actually happens to be construction or another inconvenience that negates it) make the whole thing much more manageable.
