So, as I understood it when I first subbed a while back, the purpose was to ask a question that might on the surface be seen as kind of a dumb question. But this was essentially a 'safe space' where there was no judgment and people would post replies to help the OP understand something they didn't know.
But I've noticed that lately it's just become a sub to ask random questions a la r/AskReddit. The majority of the questions asked aren't 'stupid', they're just stuff like "What's your favorite condiment?" How is that stupid? I don't know, if that's just how the sub is now I guess it's whatever, but I feel like it's lost its intended purpose.
