No Stupid Questions
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.

If you know something she's interested in, try giving her a related gift. For instance, one of my professors really loved Chess, and ran a chess club at my college. I got him a Arimaa board, which is a different game based off of chess.
I'd argue that there's not much worse than someone buying you something to do with your hobbies.
In my experience it's always something you don't want, or already have
There are certainly worse things than a thoughtful, potentially redundant gift related to something you care about.
Yeah I’m sure being eaten alive by termines is worse but still, buying something for someone else’s hobby is kinda thoughtless.
How is it thoughtless? It may not be the most useful gift to a deep hobbyist, but to say that it is thoughtless is ridiculous. It takes thought to remember something someone else is into and to get them something related to that. In fact, a friend of mine gifted me a bunch of Warhammer minis for painting last Christmas, which is one of my hobbies, and they go right next to all the minis I bought myself, perfectly fitting into my hobby.
Also, what is with you and the person I commented on doing with these weird takes? Termites are known to exclusively eat wood and other plant-based matter. A bite may cause an allergic reaction, but I doubt there has ever been a case where termites ate a person alive. Are you literally Pinocchio?
Edit: Minor edit and additions.
I disagree, I'd love getting stuff related to my hobbies.
