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.

Nothing.
You would not feel a thing.
The only known wormholes are so tiny that only single elementary particles can pass through.
Now imagine that not one of the molecules of your body is missing, not one atom from that molecule, but only one elementary particle from one atom.
No way to feel that.
Kinda depends on what that atom becomes once its constituent parts have changed. Perhaps nothing, perhaps it becomes something that explosively cannot exist.
I’m pretty sure a single atom could completely convert to energy, as in perfect E=mc^2 with no losses, and you still wouldn’t notice.
You'd notice if it happened on/near your retina, it was very dark, and you were paying attention. Other than that I don't think you're going to notice.

Theoretically could that cause an issue? I'm a computer guy and I think that if one bit on a computer is flipped, that could cause a major issue with the computer, but is that the same with a human?
The bits in a computer have different meaning. Some are super important, others are not. For example that 1 bit on your account balance that decides between 1 million and 2 million :-)
Biological bodies don't have that flaw. Small parts can also have more significance than others, but the difference is not that problematic. And even such small parts are made of many many atoms.
