Like, I have this shape:
Which is all contour and no fill. And I want to subtract those contours from another, let's say a colored circle with a slightly bigger ratio, such that the design will look like this in the end:
Which is all fill (the colored parts of the former circle) and no contours.
And yet, when I try to subtract one from the other, the result is just a circle-sized hole in the colored circle. What am I doing wrong?!

Inkscape's Path > Difference only works on the fill areas of objects (no matter whether you filled them or not).
As Paolo commented, you have to convert the stroke to a filled object.
* Ungroup the lines. Object > Ungroup or ctrl+shift+g.
Convert strokes to fills. Path > Stroke to path or ctrl+alt+c.
* Unite the lines. Path > Union or ctrl++.
Put the lines above the circle. Select lines and circle. Subtract. Path > Difference or ctrl+-.
* Only necessary when the lines are multiple objects.
