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.

Hey guys! Was doing great in college until 2019 when I was kicked out at 18, finally back on my feet and going to school again but was wondering how I should get ready to take math again?

Wasn’t bad at math or anything, just changing from a polysci degree to an engineering degree so it’s going to be more intensive and I’m not sure if I’m ready after a 4 year break. I have all Fall semester to prepare, going to be taking Calc I in the spring. My last math classes were Trig and Stats.

Sorry if this isn’t the type of questions this community does, didn’t know a better one.

Highly recommend Khan Academy. I used them to refresh my self for the GRE after not taking any math for the previous 6 years. It was a very well laid out progression from simple to more complex concepts. Granted this was in 2015, so their lessons may have changed over the interim, but I assume they will have only gotten better.

I recommend Khan Academy as well. My daughter got her geography degree in 2020 and is starting back this fall for civil engineering. She was worried as well after the break, especially since she didn't need a lot of math with her first degree. Khan is what gave her the confidence to go for the new degree! It's an amazing resource.
