- Dear Linux Install Tips: Remember me? I wrote to you last week. I'm in the middle of my install and it prompted me to enter a "root password". I asked you what I should do, and you said to make something up. So I stuck some dynamite in my pony, and now my pony has exploded. What do I do next?

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.

I read this all in Strong Bad's voice.
What would dialectical cladistics be anyway
The name of this community is actually: "No, Stupid! Questions?"
Works on contingency? No, money down!
Obviously not. There are none.
yep. literally unpossible,
Only this one /s
Yeah, I posted a link to a song and asked if anyone else liked it, but the post was removed as off-topic. So I guess that was a stupid question.
They are censoring stupidity!!!
This is exactly what they said they wouldn’t do!!
Let's go back to Reddit boys
Obligatory /s
this one right here
Can God ask a question so stupid even He can't answer it?
Meta
If we also include the original subreddit, the One Stupid Question was "Is Stephen pronounced the same as Stephen?"
If you wish to find stupid questions, then you should basically scroll down to find one.
Is there a well established definition for this?
I find that questions answered with the first few results of a simple search (and thus by extension also by simply scrolling down a page listing questions) would certainly fit this criteria.
And so, for sure, I can state that this is one of those Stupid Questions which you ~~seek~~ are asking US to find for YOU.
It is made more stupid by the fact that you assume that what's mildly interesting to a person of your intellect would not appear stupid and childish to someone of more average, or above average intelligence.
I hope this answers your question.
A close second might be this one:
Actually, it's more interesting to look at how a 'stupid question' should be answered... as I frequently encounter from people who join forums and ask questions without having any knowledge.
Nop, and never will be, as the stupidest question is the one you have but never ask, so never get the answer. (and never learn)
I did yesterday (or maybe the day before?). Someone wanted validation to their belief that the US is currently the same as Russia circa 20 years ago, or something along those lines. It wasn't a real question.
What does the hair dryer do with all the water??
