!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.

I would get a slight buzz if it had been a while since my last cigarette, but otherwise it was a satisfying of cravings. It's been about 10 years and I still miss being able to smoke a cigarette during or after stressful situations, such as watching sports.
It's kind of like sleep. If you get enough sleep, you don't necessarily feel good, just normal. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel bad. If you regularly don't get enough sleep, you might think getting enough sleep feels good, because you're so used to feeling bad and you have something to compare it to. If you're currently in a state of being tired, it feels good to lie down and go to sleep.
The act of smoking is like waking up and snoozing your alarm and going back to sleep. It feels good to go back to sleep, but only because you're tired and you're satisfying that need. Someone who sets their alarm early on purpose in order to get that "go back to sleep" feeling when they snooze might seem crazy to people who just get enough sleep. And, like smoking, it might piss off the people around you because they have to listen to your alarm go off constantly.
The "high" is about as noticable as caffeine.
Mostly it just gives you a sort of proverbial itch for the rest of your life that's nice to scratch.
The two things I actually gained from it are that I appreciated the weather more, and I understand a smoking addiction.
It's not worth carrying around the craving for a decade after you quit. And waking up with cigarette smoke in your sinuses was the absolute worst.
This is a great description of nicotine addiction (I'm a vaper, but have smoked). I'd highly recommend anyone who's considering it to not bother even if you're impulsive and having a stressful time. Imagine adding another biological need like sleeping to your plate when after a few months all it'll do for you is allow you to stop thinking about it for a bit. No more buzz. Just cravings and knowing where the exits are.
