If we for instance take, as an example, someone thoroughly explaining something which is clear to 99,9999% of the earths adult population don’t you think the remaining .0001% could come up with some? I get that this community is a place to allow people to ask questions they can’t or won’t ask elsewhere but I certainly feel stupid sometimes when I ask questions while attending courses etc.

So bottom line, how do you ask questions when you feel stupid?

    The point is to offer a place free of ridicule and generally expects realistic questions that may be embarrassing to ask.

    And yet I love the questions that push the boundaries of what is stupid. Like what would happen if the Juggernaut tried push The Blob down.

      I’d agree but add that a question can be stupid if it’s asked in an intentionally obtuse or malicious way

      I do agree, and I see the benefits of asking the question. During my education however I would much rather Google things for hours instead of asking professors, which I don’t feel is the smart thing to do as the professor could probably have answered it in mere minutes. I did not take the smart route on that one though…
