    “No stupid questions” was originally made as a space to ask questions that other communities might call you a moron for not knowing due to the perception of them as common knowledge/sense, so in that way any ask community outside of “no stupid questions” is “yes stupid questions” :p

    Yes, stupid questions are ones that could be answered by the information the asker already has with just a little thought. Its intellectual laziness

    That’s often confused with ignorance, where you lack some unknown piece of information to complete the puzzle

      No, stupid questions are ones asked that could be answered by the information the answerer already has questioned with just a little laziness, intellectually.

    That’s actually a brilliant question, it could be for dumb things the poster has been asked or seen asked.

      It would just be screenshots of posts from here with snarky comments. I don’t think we really need that.

        Would make sense to have a rule excluding “no stupid questions” and eli5-like communities from the sources. Perhaps even all of the fediverse.

    [There are] no stupid questions

    vs.

    [There are] yes stupid questions

    The latter just doesn’t sound right.
