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 think these are called "films."
Seriously, though, I do like the idea of an audio-pop-up-book. But when I was thinking about how it would work my mind said "...isn't that just a film with extra steps?"
Perhaps the film version of Society of the Spectacle might be something of the type you're thinking about. It's mostly a reading from the book overlaid over a film.
I'm imagining a picture just pops up occasionally to help with visual. Whenever a new important character is introduced, whenever you arrive to a new place that has descriptions. If an important devise is introduced, it would really depend on the book but ideally you would only glance like once every couple dozen minutes if you wanted to. I already open a tab and Google to see what's people interpretations are of stuff. This would just make it easier.
That's exactly it. I was reading At the Mountains of Madness for example and because the Elder Things were such odd creatures I had to look up a photo to put it all together.
What I am after is a bit different than a film or placing down stock footage for some visual stimuli.
In my mind it would be situations where something like the setting or the appearance of the protagonist has been described. Images would come up in a slideshow-like fashion and stay up for maybe a chapter. I could look up things like cover art, fan art, or auxiliary works like graphic novels but it can be a bit distracting to do that.
It would be a bit like some podcasts that are uploaded to Youtube in that way. Mostly just a logo and audio but they occasionally throw up images to accompany something they are discussing but you aren't missing a ton by not staring at a screen.
