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.

A coma? Sleeping? A technology cleanse? I'm not sure I understand the intent behind the question.
Sleeping comes closer. OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you're normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn't occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That's made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I've not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.
Haha. That's the neat part, coming across points of view you haven't thought of before! People really do get high in a lot of different ways and be "offline" in a a lot of different ways. LOL
The opposites might be:
Framing it that way, then yoga-practice augmented meditation would be as IRL as one could get, for meditators..
and RMind-mode sentience, a sentience where words-communication doesn't even exist as an appendage of one's mind , where ONLY what-is is real, and this is reachable through working-through the exercises in Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th Definitive Edition", but use charcoals, I've no idea why she doesn't understand how much better they work to help facilitate the hemisphere-dominance-shift into right-hemisphere-dominance-mode..
that timeless sentience is .. inexpressible in symbol-streams, which is what the "online" experience holds reality to itself be..
The people who proclaim that RMind is just pop-psychology bunk have never done the experiment , AND won't do the experiment , AND they refuse to differentiate between scrawlings done in LMind & the actually-visible-different-results of RMind

allows you to use the "prev" & "next" buttons to scroll through a gallery showing the sentience-difference, the what-actually-is centrism of RMind.
Those horrid scrawlings that used to populate New Scientist magazine, back when I subscribed, had nothing to do with right-hemisphere-dominance-mode.
Those who "debunk" RMind do so using Scientism's method of substitution-of-the-actual-question:
they test scrawling, measure that it isn't different from normal LMind, then pretend that that "proves" RMind doesn't exist.
See those image-pairs, in that gallery, though: that is EVIDENCE, which is supposed to be the basis of real Science.
Do the experiment, & it'll open an entire dimension of meaning in your life, that "education" had blocked-out from most lives, quite effectively.
( I'm autistic: what her "killer class" can do with a neurotypical in 5 days, took me 3 YEARS to equal, because sentience-mode-shift made me want to scream.
I dropped it.
Now I'm trying to re-learn, and it's grindingly slow.
Better grindingly slow than dead, however, eh? : )
