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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

"Whatever that means", and then you discuss exactly what that means, so you know exactly what that means. You're playing games. This is the point that I shoud peace out, but I'm a sucker for explaining things. One last time.
Ok let's start with your 2 miles round trip. Meaning 1 mile one way. That's nothing. My high schol was 3.5 miles, one way. My college was 11.6 miles, one way. My work was 9 miles, one way. And you have to do this twice a day. Five times a week, maybe more. After work stuff 2-3 times a week was another 3 miles. Means the distance back home was 12 miles. And that's not even what I would call long, that's normal suburb to downtown.
And you were freaking out about 1 mile? And you're now bragging about 2.5 miles after years of training? (5 miles sounds total, so that's 2.5 miles one way).
Do you see the issue?
I'm saying the average adult can not do that on a normal bike. On a regular basis. Come hell or high water. When you're kinda sick but not ready to call in sick. All those day to day conditions.
And that's just distance. Now consider time. You don't have the ability to go through a leisurely slow pace. This is life, you gottta get to work and get back home in a timely matter. Such is life. You gotta maintain a fairly high speed.
So no the average adult is not capable of that. Limits are not infinite. People max out allllllllllll the time. Doesn't matter how much I train I will never be able to do an Ironman (can't wait for you to misinterpret that one), because there are limits to what ~~the body~~ the average adult can do.
Ok I'm out.
I'm really struggling to make heads or tails of your core point that you're trying to make.
I shared my story about trying to do some car replacement trips by acoustic bike, how it took a full year of training to be able to consistently make the school runs by bike (with a trailer mind you), and then pointed out how ebikes completely remove that physical fitness requirements while providing all of the same benefits of an accoustic bike
Also I love how you keep changing and leaving out details of my story as you go along. I really can't shake the feeling you're not actually trying to make any specific point and just want to argue with people
