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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't work in the food industry, but I do have the flavor of ADHD that would absolutely LOVE the work environment. There really is a special kind of zen you achieve when everything is on fire and you have to think on your feet all day. Plus the working times are fucked up and your diet consists of cigarettes, energy drinks and coke. That might not sound like an upside but if your life already is like that it really must be quite nice to have a job that conforms to it.
Don't they put people with ADHD to sleep?
Wait what!?
A lot of people with ADHD, stimulants make your brain's brakes start working.
Yes, stimulants slow down an ADHD brain. When I tried out drugs a couple decades before being diagnosed cocaine was weird for me because everyone else who used it acted like I felt all the time while I calmed down and felt chill like everyone else did when they smoked weed.
Telling a doctor this helped when getting diagnosed.
Being on Lemmy, I've started to notice how little I know about conditions I've had my whole life. I guess I simply got the diagnosis and then that was it, for whatever reason didn't really feel much interest in reading about it.
It might be different depending on when you get diagnosed. For me getting diagnosed in my 30s it was like seeing my entire life experience validated and that came with things I could do to mitigate the downsides.
My late diagnosis sure explained why I thought energy drinks didn’t do shit
Not necessarily, people react differently to different stimulants. For me, coffee calms down my mind but makes my body feel perky. Others do get sleepy with it.
The only and only time I tried cocaine is how I eventually found out I had ADHD. it definitely didn’t do anything to make me want to party - I could think straight and wanted to go somewhere quiet to enjoy the mental quiet.
Yeah, for many people they do that! But if your brain is in absolute overdrive by nature it's actually a performance boost to slow it down to a point where you have proper control over it.
I have ADHD (actually diagnosed, in childhood) and coffee doesn't put me to sleep, much to the contrary. A little amount wakes me properly.
There are different types of ADHD so it might be why.
