!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.

Sounds like adhd kicked in and you were off in your head. Ever trying listening to white noises while reading?
I think I have undiagnosed adult ADHD and I will start to drift off in thought pretty often, especially if I have something else on my mind, to where I end up having to reread a passageway more than once. The idea to listen to white noise while I read is something I should try, thanks for the suggestion!
No problem. I've had it for a long time and it took me a while to find a method that works. I will get silly with it too, I'll go on you tube play a thunderstorm, blow dryer and shower all at the same time. Also I read in 25 minute increments and take a 5-10min break if I want to continue. Almost forgot but in the very beginning I needed to use a digital reader because my adhd was like "I will never finish a book that size" somehow my brain was tricked. I can read physicals pretty easy now after some years.
I find that any type of music, regardless of how clean and continuous it may be, disrupts my reading experience by influencing the way I read, or making me think about what I'm listening to. The only times(well, mostly) I can read properly and without any type of difficulty is when I'm not very sober.
It's impossible for me and I think it's just comes down to my adhd. I will play Ghost in the Shell and Bladerunner atmospheric mixes when I read scifi for example. In silence my brain is too loud and doesn't stop. If I'm reading and whatever white noises are playing it minimizes the gaps when the brain wanders. It was already busy processing the sound.
