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.

Your comment made me realize that OP wasn't asking about why we need currency as a society, but why people keep trying to get more money.
I hate when the post title and post content ask two seemingly different questions, lol
The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem. This leads to enormous amounts of wasted time and energy, both on the part of people asking for help, and on the part of those providing help.
Providing clarification is important...but to me, it seems prudent to just ask what one actually wants to know in the first place.
Honestly XY is hard to put into practice.
It wants the Asker to elevate themselves to the level of thinking as the Answerer and also have the forethought to ask "the right question".
But it lacks the perspective of what it means to be new at something. When you're new, you have no context of what the hell anything is. So you throw spaghetti at the wall and ask is this how you make pasta.
If it's a culture where stupid questions are allowed and people are willing to be mentors... Just ask your question.
I think in this case, the OP should've just chosen one question and put it in the title, then left the post text blank.
If the question they wanted to know didn't get answered, they could've had conversations with the commenters where they gave more detail about why they asked the question.
A post consisting of two different questions in two different places (and nothing else) just seems counterintuitive to me.
Whoa dude, just answer the question. If answering or asking doesn't appeal to you just move on.
I thoroughly enjoy all the answers I've received and the discussion around it. Sorry I don't live up to your "no stupid questions" question standard.
Lemmy supports editing posts, deleting posts and making new posts - if a question is obtuse the author can always take it down and post something more precise and less open to misinterpretation. Of it's a language barrier issue I'm sympathetic but this just seems to have been a needlessly clickbaity title.
It's a hard question to ask. I'd rather pin down why it's essential then ask why it's deemed the only thing that is essential.
This is a very blanket statement and going to need a source here.
People... deem money.... you kddn me?
Jokster.
No not really.
Buddhist scripture believes in achieving enlightenment, yogi aim for inner peace, all sorts of subgroups and cultures like indigenous people put family first.
You're not providing a source to where this is truth, so it seems like you're putting this pressure on yourself. And you need to dig into yourself why YOU believe currency is all that matters.
Even if I were "putting pressure on myself" your inclination is that I'm the one who has deemed money the most essential thus providing you with your sought out evidence. Now kind sir, I say good day.
That's fair.
Hope you discover other alternatives because there's a wide world/groups of people out there that don't believe money is the sole focus of life.
