Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Just visit the public library...
The implication if this line was that it wasn't commonly found in books.
That would ve far more complex than you make it sound.
Once you have the question, you need to...
...write down the question so you don't forget.
...remember to bring the note with you.
...remember to check the open hours of the library.
...get to the library.
...look at the note to remember the topic of the question.
...ask a librarian about where to find relevant books.
...read the books, and hopefully find an answer not too out of date.
Believe it or not, that was how it worked. The advantage of this was that it guaranteed that you only invested time in things you were really passionate about.
