tonamel,

If we also include the original subreddit, the One Stupid Question was "Is Stephen pronounced the same as Stephen?"

Drusas,

I did yesterday (or maybe the day before?). Someone wanted validation to their belief that the US is currently the same as Russia circa 20 years ago, or something along those lines. It wasn't a real question.

What does the hair dryer do with all the water??

If you wish to find stupid questions, then you should basically scroll down to find one.

Is there a well established definition for this?

I find that questions answered with the first few results of a simple search (and thus by extension also by simply scrolling down a page listing questions) would certainly fit this criteria.

And so, for sure, I can state that this is one of those Stupid Questions which you seek are asking US to find for YOU.

It is made more stupid by the fact that you assume that what's mildly interesting to a person of your intellect would not appear stupid and childish to someone of more average, or above average intelligence.

I hope this answers your question.

A close second might be this one:

Actually, it's more interesting to look at how a 'stupid question' should be answered... as I frequently encounter from people who join forums and ask questions without having any knowledge.

Nop, and never will be, as the stupidest question is the one you have but never ask, so never get the answer. (and never learn)

The name of this community is actually: "No, Stupid! Questions?"

Works on contingency? No, money down!

kratoz29,

Only this one /s

key,

Can God ask a question so stupid even He can’t answer it?

megahertz,

Yeah, I posted a link to a song and asked if anyone else liked it, but the post was removed as off-topic. So I guess that was a stupid question.

kratoz29,

They are censoring stupidity!!!

hemmes,

This is exactly what they said they wouldn’t do!!

kratoz29,

Let's go back to Reddit boys

Obligatory /s

fubo,
  1. How much butt could a butt-butt butt if a butt-butt could butt butt?
  2. If prostitution is the opposite of constitution, and a protractor is the opposite of a contractor, then what sort of mathematical object are we talking about here? Ignore the trivial case.
  3. Is humping called "humping" because first you hum and then you ping?
  4. If there's no rhyme for "orange", then how can four engineers make orange veneers?
  5. Sex-havers of Reddit, [QUESTION ABLUTED BY MODJERATOR]
  6. Dialectical Cladistics: yea or nay?
  7. What is the best programming language for real men?
  8. What is the best programming language for real humans? (No, I am not a bot, I promise.)
  9. Dear Linux Install Tips: Remember me? I wrote to you last week. I'm in the middle of my install and it prompted me to enter a "root password". I asked you what I should do, and you said to make something up. So I stuck some dynamite in my pony, and now my pony has exploded. What do I do next?
  10. What the crap?
fubbernuckin,
