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.

my lover is a very high iq person (140) and he's so awesome and yea has a lot of knowlegde about a lot of things, but recently i took an iq test and i got 85, it sucks, i told him that i hope that does not affect any aspect of our relationship!! and i'm not going to sugar code it but honestly i think that difference does cause a bit of trouble in our relationship because i am aware that my low iq may cause problems or it could make him feel annoyed/bothered!! what can i do to improve that?? i love him so much and i don't want him to feel like i don't understand him, sometiems i don't a lot but, i always understand the general idea of the stuff he likes and i'm always seeking out more knowledge from him and the wider internet. thank you!!!

edit: i've always thought i was 100 or 150+ iq because i am interested in open source software, linux, foss, gnu, the fediverse, and reading, etc!! programming too

It's strange that you're posting a 2nd time about IQ, especially after getting so much feedback the 1st time and responding to almost none of it. This feels like trolling

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

i'm sorry, it was a shock for me at first, i should just learn about how that does not matter. thank you!! i'm not trolling or anything

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

Never heard of method trolling

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

I didn't find such post on their account. Are you sure you're not mixing it up with someone else?

I know somebody else here (Lemmy) posted some low-IQ related question(s).
I am not going dox them here though.

[–] riot 7 points 22 hours ago

I think they're referring to this post that OP made 3 days ago: i took an iq test and it was nice and i took my time doing it but the answer was 86, is that bad??

There's currently 38 comments in that thread, and only 2 of them are from OP, at the time of me writing this comment here.

It's their fifth most recent post, from three days ago. I found it by just looking at the community and searching IQ. It was on page 2 for me.

Also, what do you even mean doxxing them? Nobody said anything about posting their real name and address.

Also, what do you even mean doxxing them?

I meant the other, different user, by username.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Mentioning a user isn't doxxing, they literally picked that username to use publicly. Doxxing is leaking personally identifying information, like their real name, home address, phone number, workplace, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe, but it would be like pointing out "Hey, this user has low IQ too".

Don't know what else to call that, unnecessarily adding someone to such information elsewhere than originally mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

I guess? You could instead link the post, that doesn't ping anyone and offers contextual information to other commenters since it was directly asked. If OP wanted to keep it private so that no one would know, they probably wouldn't have posted it on the public internet.

But it's kind of quaint/endearing that you wanted to protect their "privacy," though. Not a bad attitude at all, it's just not common practice since people don't tend to accidentally make posts about things they want to keep secret.

Bhank you for not doxin me here pal, I would be devastated if odders knew about my low iQ
