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.

Yeah but America already considers you a kid until what, 21? They’re a bit behind the times.
my issue isnt with the 21 or the 19
Well it should be.
18 is still a kid, all that shit should be at like 25
18 is legally an adult in my country. I’d say anyone over 14-16 is no longer a kid but a young adult.
plenty of studies showing even 18 year olds are fucking dumb still
So are plenty of 28, 38, 48, 58, 68, etc year olds.
Being dumb is related to education and culture. Not age.
no i mean scientifically brain development continues past 18 and physical immaturity continues to around 25ish, 18 is way to damn young for some things still
that isn’t just culture
After 18 months you stop developing new neurons.
At 30 years you start losing them.
All through out childhood and after our brains continue to change. There is no magical biological age when you are mentally perfect, and even if there was it would start degrading before it even finished developing.
Many older teens are capable of formulating well thought of ideas and show great maturity. Many of them are also insufferable hormonal arseholes who shouldn’t be entrusted with anything. But to say they’re less adult than an 80 year old with dementia shitting themselves in nappies is a bit ridiculous when one is closer to a baby in capability.
prefrontal cortex specifically, this isnt new, talk about raising the drinking age to 25 for example is old hat
studies have been done even from 18 to 21 show a marked improvement in the us
doesnt really matter if you want to argue culture or biology or a mix of the two
