That was my first thought as well, but Sal thinks it would not be the best fit for the instance, since it's more of a humour community than a science community.
Having looked at the community, it has 2 posts and zero comments. I would suggest to just let it die with lemm.ee
I wish I had discovered it sooner. I work with a couple mechanical engineers and it feels like they come up with this sort of things daily
Sounds reasonable
Can you possibly consider https://lemmings.world/c/stupid_questions as an alternative? it is not science specific, but it is aimed at answering stupid questions in a non stupid manner, which could possibly go along with your idea of shitty ask science. Both the communities are small, so consolidation will probably help. Not pushing you or anything.
Good idea, thank you for offering!
