why does everyone stock overflow seem like such douche bags. I am new to C. I asked a question about a certain library and they say things like "of course" and "you should know" isn't the point of the website to help others and expand knowledge on topics aka not suck their own dicks? I rather ask questions here then on stock overflow.

It's probably a shitty question nobody cared about. You're lucky it got downvotes. These shitty questions only get answers by rep whoring pajeets, if that. I used to answer that kind of stuff as well. It gets old fast. Ironicallym it's the easiest way to farm rep. Random short answers I gave to common questions still give me a steady stream of rep every single day.
When you ask about the minutiae of a language standard or the whys and hows behind some specific implementation, that's when SO shines. Some truly smart people show up outta nowhere to answer because you've baited their curiosity. I've witnessed some truly heroic posts in the name of clearing up some C standard confusion. Personally, I enjoy digging into the implementation of programming language virtual machines and answering questions about their internals. I once dug up the exact specific commit where a language feature was introduced.

I only did open source languages with at least some amount of defined semantics, so: Java, SML, Haskell, Python, Go
C for example nope because nobody actually knows how anything should work (for example lookup how to make a format string for a function pointer and have a giant thread of inconclusive conjecture)
and as I said, it was a "troll" account. these were rhetorical questions which I already knew the answers for

I used to be very active in the Ruby tag, but I got tired of the Rails faggots.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2741683/how-to-format-a-function-pointer
This? Yeah, printf doesn't have a format specifier for function pointers. According to the C standard, function and object pointers may actually be different types of pointer with different sizes and stuff. It's just yet another case of the C stdlib being utter garbage. The unportable code is highly likely to work, though. In particular, IIRC POSIX requires that function and object pointers be compatible. The dlsym function returns a void pointer.
Anyway, the accepted answer involving a char pointer aliasing the function pointer is right. Pointer to char aliases any type. The ideal solution is for the stdlib to stop sucking and actually provide formatting support for function pointers. That's never gonna happen.
