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’ve read a really interesting treaty of anthropology on kid a while back. It was written like a « how to parent book ». TL;DR there’s two opposing-ish view to parenting kid 1- kids are inerrantly good, because they come from god and blah blah blah (most westerners countries) 2- kids are inerrantly evil (devil pawn) and parent have to make them learn restraint (IIRC middle eastern countries)
On a purely pedagogic note a Canadian specialist have said : L’enfant n’est pas là pour faire notre affaire, il est là pour solliciter notre intervention en vue de l’aider à être et à devenir ce qu’il veut être. [Kids are not there to do our biding, they’re here to solicit our intervention to help them become what they want to be]
After five kids, I'm convinced it's the second one. They sure are sweet, but they will lie and cheat to get whatever they want before they can speak the truth.
But I suppose the innocence of youth is not the same as the legal definition of innocence. Its not so much what they do but more that they don't know any better yet.
Personally I’m more on the [Charles E. Caouette ]specialist side. Kids are not good or bad, they’re asshole because they don’t know better.
Kinda. They want to do what they want, and need to know where the boundaries are. so they push on the edges of the boundaries.
It's quite tiring.
