No Stupid Questions
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

There's no "right" answer that works for everyone. For me personally, I know I learn by learning the concepts to the point where I can link it to my existing conceptual knowledge. I'm also visual learner, so if I can attach a vision to what I'm learning (preferably in 3D space, where I can spin it around in my head).
So if I was trying to learn the name of all the bones. I'd see if I could borrow or buy an anatomically correct mini skeleton. Something like this 19" model for $26. I'd start with just the bones knew which for me are: Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Radius, Ulna , maybe a couple more. I would touch to the bone on the model and say the name out loud, name the bones it attaches, then point to the bone on my own body and say the name again. Then I'd do the same for a second bone, maybe on the opposite end of the body.
This would give me all kinds of marker memories!
So when I try to recall the name later, I could easily forget HALF that list, but still be able to recall the name of the bone and where it is on the body. Those along might help me recall another 25% of the list or so. Alternatively, because we've attached the concepts, you can also go the other way. You have the name but can't remember the location. Close your eyes, put your hand out like you're holding the model. Picture the model in your head as though you're holding it. Recall the name...where did your remember where your pointing/touching hand went on the model?
All of the above is what I know works for me because of how I learn. If you've gone through 12 years of primary school you should have a decent idea of how your particular mind learns new things. Put those lessons to work in ways that work best specifically for you!
