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.

I despise the line "I blew out a flip flop" in Margarita Ville runs. I don't know why. I think about a lot.
Yeah but it's not some big mystery why Margaritaville sucks. The lyrics are asinine and empty. What's worse: it's catchy.
Exactly what you want in a beach bar song. Not everything needs to show off how deep and complicated the songwriter is emotionally.
Oh, I agree. I don't know why it bothers me so much. It's just a stupid song. It's happy. I like happy. It's even relatable to me. I've put an unhealthy amount of thought thought into into it.
Having grown up around so many aging parrotheads, I feel your pain here. I was never a fan either. I should have never stepped into this thread because I have found it much more fulfilling to mostly try to reframe my POV about pop culture things I don't enjoy: it's my failing to be unable to appreciate it, not the artist's or the fans. Mix that with a healthy dose of letting people like what they like (as long as it doesn't hurt others) and the world around you is a much less vexing place. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
