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.

Put your hand on a hot stovetop. You'll rapidly become overwhelmed with the desire to remove it.
Ha, that's definitely the case for me. I would even say that I'm more sensitive than other people in that sense.
But that's more about avoiding or disliking something (which I can tell relatively easily) I don't seem to crave or desire specific things though.
So most of my life is decided by things I want to avoid, rather than things I actually want myself.
I think even my choice of studies and work was made that way, and now I realise that I don't really like those either, and I don't know what to do instead.
I don't know if you do (and it's none of my business, so I'm not asking), but if you suffer from depression, or are on some medications for it, a lack of enthusiasm can be a side-effect, and a review with your doctor may be needed.
Not currently using any medication. Except for my stomach because I was vomiting almost every day for the past weeks.
I think a lack of enthusiasm has been kinda the default for me for as long as I remember
I've had life phases like that.
It doesn't bother me as much, today, as it did, in the past.
Now, I focus on the things worth avoiding while I wait for my enthusiasm to return.
For me, enthusiasm returns, in bursts, eventually.
That's nice to hear. I've had this one day this year, where I was feeling... I suppose I would call it 'safe'. And then I would have motivation to do things, and when I watched a tv show, I could actually feel a bit the emotions of the characters in the show.
First time i've experienced something like that.
