    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)
