!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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Sunglasses?
A shit-scented mustache
The ol' Dirty Sanchez
I've heard a therapist call it "shit-colored glasses."
fundamentalist lens - nothing can every live up to ridiculous expectations
Shit stained brain.
Someone can probably create an app for that with AR glasses.
In terms of clichés, I'd go with 'they see the glass as half empty.'
Not exact, but close enough
Rose-colored glasses Vs half-emptied glasses does have a nice ring to it
I think that’s just cynicism or perhaps pessimism.
My ophthalmologist calls it 20/20.
A jaundiced eye?
Cynicism
Shit colored
Regular colored glasses.
Green tinted glasses would be the technical answer.
Sick tinted glasses?
Those sound dope af
Jade-colored glasses?
in photography when a flash light has too much green cast, we put a color correction pink gel filter on it, in that way pink and green are opposite
Exactly
Like Emerald City, lol
Brown-tinted glasses.
Makes everything look like shit.
I've seen a lot of various 3 word combos mostly revolving around shit and shot adjacent coloured eye ware and that was my thought as well but one thing I think everyone's missed is that it you want to try and stick to the template so it's recognisable the antonym for the phrase but still change enough of it to be clever, we should change tinted as well and I think "tainted" is perfect since it sounds almost the same and has a similar meaning in context but still adds it's own negative connotations.
"Shit tainted glasses" is the chef's kiss in my mind. Unless anyone's got something that means the same or almost the same as glasses but also adds additional negative overtones.
Jaded
Rage-coloured glasses?
The correct prescription lenses.
Carnage Visors
I think that's called having depression.
People that call themselves "realist"-glasses.
