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.

Do it!
Some already exist though, if you want additional inspiration:
I'm thinking specifically targeting the "Live Laugh Love" Rae Dunn kind of aesthetic.
Weird tangent: I was asked to design and build a dining room cupboard for my parents' house. So I went out to the internet to look at examples to come up with design elements I liked, and I noticed something: I couldn't find any evidence that anyone actually uses dining room cabinets for anything. It's supposed to be a buffet or server with dish storage above, but they're only ever used as trophy cases to consumerism. Set dressing to make the Tiktok studio look like a home. And I really want to graffiti a cock and balls on the very concept itself.
Do something like this but hang the cute little ceramic pig on a cute little steel meathook, write "BABY FACTORY" and "SPERM DONOR" on the mugs, make the signs say things like "Purchase" and "Keep Up Appearances" and "Like Share Subscribe Follow", use fake dead plants, stuff like that.
It's the closest thing to art I've had the desire to do.
I think back when people had less space and fewer things, they would hold the good fancy items for special events. Whereas now everyone has far more than they need... except ironically health insurance, a stable job, oh yeah a place to live, food, etc.
Everyone everywhere stores their actual dishes in their built-in kitchen cabinets and have for longer than I've been alive.
Since the dawn of the 20th century, the dining room cupboard went through the following stages of evolution:
Yup - maybe if the pastor came over you could break that China out of its jail but otherwise it's too sacred to actually "use", for such shitty people as (checks notes) your children.
But heaven forbid the children don't use or want it - think of all the "memories" of the times that it could have been (but never was) used!?
It's not like anyone else's feelings matter in the slightest. The American Dream feasts upon us all, long live The American Dream(tm).
I never really understood that. Then COVID happened and now I see it perfectly. They are sacrificing their children to that great beast, which they themselves barely attained, and now they want to keep the dream alive... at any cost (even their own families). After all, if the pastor + TV + radio says so, then it must be a good thing.
