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.

I built a basic gym in the basement and started powerlifting. I get excited for every lift day and find it genuinely fun. None of my clothes fit anymore, but I feel incredible, all my aches and lower back pains from years of office work have disappeared. For anyone that’s remotely interested in weight training I would highly recommend picking up a squat rack and barbell, it will change your life
That's awesome!
I've been powerlifting (just returning now after a major injury not caused by PL) for 5 years. Had you asked me 6 years ago if I'd ever see myself as a gym rat I'd have told you to fuck off.
And yet here I am, returning to the gym, having breakdowns having missed it so much and pulling far heavier weights off the floor after the first few returning sessions than I did for months in the beginning.
The body remembers, and I'm so here for it. My sleep has improved, my strength is returning quickly and steadily and I FEEL GREAT (and sore) after every session.
Powerlifting changed my life, gave me something to aim for and work at consistently, consistency is absolutely pivotal and has been the cause of immense gains that I was barely able to perceive due to the incremental nature of lifting.
It is the same energy I use to pull a heavy deadlift that I use to deal with the stress of life, I know exactly what I'm capable of and knowing that I can lift removedly heavy things at a mediocre effort really helps me mentally and emotionally in a crisis. Needless to say, prior to this injury I never hired removalists before.
