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.

Delia Smith's "How to cook" series of books were an absolute godsend when I first moved into a house by myself.
Here's a UK link so you can see how it looks.

Book one starts with eggs - how to poach, boil, fry them, then how to use them in basic recipes like omelettes and scrambled egg, then ramps up in complexity slowly again.
They're super basic, super easy to follow, and I still run and get them sometimes when I want something to be perfect and need to jog my memory.
Another, more expensive but delicious method, is to order food from hello fresh (you can get a trial membership with heavy discounts at the start).
They send you all the ingredients you need, already weighed and in little bags, all you have to do is follow the instructions they've sent you using the ingredients in the bag.
Really good way to get used to making a variety of meals you like, as you don't need to worry about if you've bought the right ingredients.
I cancelled my membership as A) it worked out too expensive, and B) I didn't have time or energy to prepare a meal every day of the week! But the food was great and opened some culinary doors in my brain.
Definitely worth a trial and then note down the ingredients you used in your favourite meals for the future when you want to make it again.
