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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It's like, 90% mental, the psychedelic feeling so it's quite difficult to explain. Of course in the movies and stuff you will see a lot of visual representation of what the trip is like, and also 90% of those are total fabrications. If you are wondering about visuals, you will usually see things like motion trails where if you wave your hand in front of your face you will see a trail left behind, like motion blur. That's low level effects, after that things start to melt a little, your vision will be more colorful and things will twist and turn and undulate, the walls will look like they a breathing a bit, things will be be like it has a life of it's own basically kind of like how it is in a cartoon. With mid to heavier doses you will start to see actual hallucinations which vary by user and mood and setting (which are incredibly important on a trip so keep that in mind if you are curious)

The mental effects, uhm. I guess I would say it just feels like everything comes together? Logic melts away a bit and you are left with pure feeling, you are in touch with yourself, problems that seemed big may seem small or problems that were small may seem bigger, things of importance are turned around. Sometimes I would say it feels like your mind having sex with itself towards the peak. Physical sensations are also amplified, so touch feels extraordinary, music pours out of the speakers like a breeze coming at your face. It seems like there would be a lot of confusion but there is also a profound sense of peace if you can hold on to it. It sounds like what you got what something else. I hope it was helpful
