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.

Don't rush into it also don't put booze on a pedestal. Don't put anything on a pedestal. Get rid of the pedestal.
Edibles have come a long way and some taste really really good but catching a buzz off of them is hit or miss. It's a crapshoot. Sometimes they sneak up on you sometimes they never show up. Never do they show up on time. A bar near me has THC drinks which are a tasty alternative to alcohol but being of the delta variety they're more for flavor and having something non-alcoholic to drink at a bar than they are for getting stoned to the bone. It's a 21+ beverage so, again, don't rush into it you're not missing out on much.
I didn't have any alcohol(save for a glass of champagne at home with my parents on Y2K but come on, it was the turn of the century it would have been wrong not to) until I turned 21 and it never sank it's claws in. I've lived long enough now to see what alcohol does to people as the years of drinking add up. My SO's brother has shaky hands in the morning until he gets a few beers in him. My SO collapsed in the kitchen last week. They blame it on the gummy we both ate equal parts of. It didn't do shit for me and I suspect it was the drinking that led to fainting. That's a whole different story about the dangers of drinking too much too often.
tl;dr wait until you're old enough and enjoy the company of your friends without drugs or alcohol before the liquor starts calling the shots. It'll be there down the road. All you need for a good time is good company.
