In case this isn’t a joke and you actually don’t know, there’s a saying in the US (don’t know if it exists in other countries) that some people use, that “there are no stupid questions,” which is meant to help others feel like they can ask anything within the context of the ongoing conversation.
For example, if a teacher is teaching something and asks if there are any questions, they might follow up with, “There are no stupid questions,” to help their students feel like they can ask anything about the topic. They’ll especially do this if nobody asks anything and the teacher knows it’s a difficult topic to understand.
Interestingly, it does exist in every country I looked for on Google just now. In Germany we say “there are no stupid questions” as well. Kind of nice of people.
We also have “fear of a smart face” when no one dares to ask a question because everybody else seems to understand since nobody is asking a question. (Die Angst vorm schlauen Gesicht.)
That was posted in the wrong sub.
I mean, it was a very stupid question.

That’s what the sub name is related to.
