Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

In my experience, as long as both people are working toward a shared goal and are acting in good faith, two heads is almost always better than one. Every person has a completely unique library of knowledge that can result in large differences in how different people approach the same situation. Our greatest strength as humans is our ability to share knowledge and quickly adapt to new information. Working together for a better outcome is pretty much biologically hardwired into us.
Not only that, but a lot of constructive thinking goes in to just formulating thoughts so they can be communicated. We've all had that sense of "that sounds stupid when I say it out loud", for example.
That makes sense. One forgets that such a thing is possible here in the wilds of the internet.
Yeah, the Internet can be a very uncooperative place. People are much better IRL since you don't end up with such a high concentration of the most obnoxious individuals
