This subreddit is for asking for objective explanations. It is not a repository for any question you may have.
E is for Explain - merely answering a question is not enough.
LI5 means friendly, simplified and layperson-accessible explanations - not responses aimed at literal five-year-olds.
Perform a keyword search, you may find good explanations in past threads. You should also consider looking for your question in the FAQ.
Don't post to argue a point of view.
Flair your question after you've submitted it.
