You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !stupid_questions@lemmings.world

Ask anything you would consider too vague or too stupid. It is not supposed to be very refined or thought through, it can as well be a string of random symbols, just tell us how to read them. Consider it a very serious questions community, where questions most definitely are not serious, or the other way round. WE APPRECIATE ABSURDISM. WE APPRECIATE CREATIVITY. WE THRIVE ON ANSWERING GENUINE CURIOSITY!

These could be questions which you think a 5 year or 10 year old would ask, but you are not 5/10 year old and you don’t have anybody to ask.

Rules:

Standard Netiquette reference - TL;DR - just be civil
Lemmy Instance Guidelines - TL;DR - just be civil
Post format is simple - it should be a question. You can add additional context to your delight, for example, what do you expect the answer to be, or how do you think one should try to answer it. Questions can be any any language (preferably english) but do what you like, just tag the post appropriately (you can select language while creating post). NSFW is fine as well, but please tag appropriately.
Stupid in a general sense - Ideally questions should not be stupid because they use fancy words. For example, if someone asks - why do we not use ferritic steels in cold temperatures? This question is stupid to all metaallurgy people because almost all of them know of ductile to brittle transition. But how many of us are metallurgists? (or have taken some crystal structure courses). They can be niche, we are not against questions that only some of us understand, but if you think the questions are too specific, give us additional context. WE ARE WELL SERVING SERVERS!
Academic Integrity - try to answer questions just the best way you can. if you think a alphabet is good, just do it, if you think.
New Rules maybe added in future - to which all of you also agree to while creating any post. YOU MUST OBEY A CONTRACT INDEFINITELY. BY POSTING/COMMENTING, YOU ARE CONSIDERED TO BE AGREEING THIS CONTRACT. IF YOU FAIL TO UPHOLD TO THE CONTRACT, YOU SHALL SACRIFICE YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD OR BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ENRAGING THE GODS WHO SHALL PUT A CURSE OPEN THOU (or the subsequent ones in case you already sacrificed one, we are accepting in that sense, we would not be cursing your lineage/subsequent lives and stuff. If you do not have kids, then have them. The kid should be born or Feb 29 of any year, and must be 32 years and 42 days old at the time of sacrifice. Please do remember to contact us for the birthday parties, we can bring the best food and entertainment (rated the 17th best party organiser, by my friends list of - best birthday organisers who were born on 29th feb). Also, most of the blessed servants of god (read moderators) are very kind, and can “pardon” your crimes, for appropriate gifts).
