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.

MODERATORS
Maybe it doesn’t come through in text, but that Liechtenstein question gives me zero impression that they’re trying to show off. It just seems like how someone would ask if they think they might know something but aren’t sure. What am I missing here?
You're right, its all stuff i would express through voice and action when explaining it in person.
Basically i just mean active dunning-kruger effect; there are people i talk to who will interrupt my discussions (regardless of topic) to interject some "fun fact" or demonstrate that they know at-least-as-much-as-me about the topic; so if i was talking about a historical event in a foreign country, e/g poland, they'll interject or say at the end of my piece "and poland is next to france, right?"
But this makes it sound like it's just a geographically curious person seeking tutelage. I also experience people doing this to boastfully show off that they know some science concept, "mansplain" it to everyone around, but usually explain it really badly and it really irks me because i'd seem like a fusspot for correcting them and explaining it properly, they'll probably go. *"Uh, that doesn't sound any different to how I explained it! haha." *
The liectenstein equivalent of this would be:
at risk of sounding too bitchy, the people i have experienced this the most with are my sibling when we meet with our mom, and in my ex-friend-group from 2 years ago.
