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.

Does anyone else hear every electronic device and feel a wave of comfort when the power goes out?
My hearing isn't sharp enough to hear EVERY electronic device, but idling vehicle engines and noisy refrigerators do this to me.
Only some things. Like a TV or a speaker. Even when nothing is playing or they're muted, there's like this high pitched whine coming from them. A busted GPU in a PC makes a similar sound, though louder (coil whine). I sometimes feel like Quark that time he kept hearing shit in the shuttle with Odo and it turned out to be a bomb; hearing a faint thing no one else does until I pinpoint the source and turn it off.
One of the first times i tripped i saw all this purple dots coming off my tv that was turned off. It was very distracting, so i unpluged my tv and it faded away in like a minute.
What were you tripping on?
I believe it was gel tab acid.
Neat. Makes sense
I fully believe they were real. If the purple dots were just in my head as i imagined things i dont know.
Was it a crt?
I don't hear most of it consciously but I do feel the wave of comfort. It happens allot more now that I live rural. Lose power bout once a month for an hour, or two. It is just enough that you're still comfortable temperature.
I think it is mostly the Fridge. That thing loud AF and is always making noise.
Do you hear your phone too when its doing nothing?
It makes a sound before text messages or calls come in, sometimes other random clicking hissing sorts of noise? I almost always pick it up before any sound plays or vibration happens as a result. Constant sound? Not that I notice, but I'm around it 24/7
You have a 6th sense...
Starting to wonder, I'm talking about hearing even electricity in the wires. It's hard to exactly explain it, but it's like a pressure on my eardrums and sensation in my head. It's not a distinct sound like a refrigerator, just a presence. There's different pitches for different devices too, oven burners are a low hum where led lightbulbs are a shrill whine.
Can you feel my wifi?
Yep: and it's pretty, pretty disgusting.
