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.

It does other places too, they just don’t warn you about it.
I know, I understand it’s weird and I also made fun of it when I first saw a warning sign in Starbucks that coffee may contain some cancer causing chemical or in the parking garages and carports of apartment complexes that warn about car emissions in enclosed spaces causing cancer.
However, there are people that work in certain professions that may have abnormally high exposure to certain risks and would otherwise not know. In this example, a car attendant or valet might appreciate the warning about working in a parking garage.
I recently learned that those who carve and drill quartz countertops are all having lung issues and dropping dead at 40. I’m sure they wish California had given them one of those silly warnings. Same with the Radium girls. I’m all for erring on the side of caution lest someone find out too late.
Too many warnings are as good as no warnings. How do you know when it's trivial exposure vs serious?
Prop 65 warnings, while well intentioned, turned into a way for shitty lawyers to make money sueing erebody. It doesn't do anyone any good cause people will just put that generic warning on everything to CYA.
