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.

The title asks about age-related change, but then the post body just talks about unhinged people. Are the two interchangeable?
yes in my case
May you live long enough to become completely unhinged.
thanks
As people age their faces sag due to changes in skin elasticity (and also often gaining weight), this can lead to a "resting sad face" compared with perky youngsters. But, as a middle aged person, I've also started to notice that I often get absorbed in my thoughts and realise I'm sitting there with a thousand yard stare and a drawn facial expression I associate with being sad or very sick or very hungover.
But inside I'm not sad, I'm just thinking about something I need to do or whatever, but I feel like I need to consciously "inhabit" my body again and "power up" my facial muscles so I look thoughtful, or determined or something rather than a blank "my family has just died in a car crash and I can't decide whether to call the ambulance or kill myself with a shard of broken windscreen" expression.
further to this, we tend to get greater responsibilities as we age, and they're no fucking fun, are they?
watch out kids - don't grow up, it's a TRAP (and not the good kind). Still, it's mostly mental, a lot of the time
Peter Pan may have been a psychopath but he sure had a point
Fish lips happen from a general unhappiness.
Oh the chubby cheeks to jowls slide is real, and I think that's part of it. Also lower teeth showing more than upper.
Huh, stupid questions do exist lol.
Old people, then "unhinged" people...
they have faced tough moments in their lives :)
After a while you have seen it all and it takes extra energy to find the funny. Finding the funny is harder when you sleep poorly and your body ages.
That said, finding the funny is absolutely worth every effort, it's just that sometimes it's hard work.

yes! sleep gets worse Dunnit? and that makes everything a bit shitter than needes
Sleep .. I cannot remember the last time I had eight hours uninterrupted. Last night I managed 5.5 hours in three shifts. That was an improvement on the night before.
tough crowd...
somehow 6 feels great, if you can get it but usually my sinuses cave in screwing everything up
Unhinged or older?
Older with upside down smiles and happen to be unhinged when examined closely
Stress and fear will do that to you unfortunately
