No such thing. Ask away!

!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.

We are mad and we’re getting madder. We just haven’t hit the fever pitch yet. There hasn’t been a catalyst.

But eventually there will be one and we’ll be able to coalesce around it. Seems like Moscow Musk is starting to be the foil, but so could a number of other things: egg prices, bid flu, new Hoovervilles. Something will make it happen.

Now is the time to plan and prepare.

You'd think with that username...

The chance at taking freedom and everything from others first.

Edit: that quote and story have disappeared except for some Nigerian news site still on MSN.

They are so mad that democrats weren't a sufficiently exciting alternative to an outright fascist entente. Livid, they are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Why are we still talking about this? I'm over it. I'm over the democrats too. I'd sit with the Palestinians at lunch time rather than the DNC any day, anyway.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

I rest my case, I suppose.

I'm definitely over being emotionally invested in the consequences of their entitlement within the US. I, unfortunately, like the rest of the world, don't get to be over the consequences elsewhere.

I also wonder this but then the people that voted for trump are very happy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nahh. I know those people. They've never felt a bit of happiness in their life. They might feel satisfaction when others are pained but these are truly miserable people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Meh, I think disagreeing with them doesn’t make them miserable. A lot of family voted for them and they aren’t “trumpers” or miserable. Probably happier than me. That’s kind of wishful thinking on your part.

Edit:noticing your relevant username gave me a chuckle ;D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They voted for it, so why would they be mad?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Why would they be mad? Why would they be mad about DEI when they are still the most catered too and entrenched class with access to generational wealth. I will go on if you press me further.

Americans are pissed as all hell. Michael Moore said in 2016 "the American people will throw Donald Trump into Washington like a Molotov Cocktail."

We do not agree who is at fault. 40% the voters think it's brown people and queer people and about 30% of them think it's the wealthy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Just so you know that molotov cocktail didn't land in washington. It will land on every Americans doorstep.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

They don't realize that..... Yet.

bread and circuses, mostly

Ah. Well it was worth it then.

My cat purred at me and it was heartwarming until I paid attention and then it was fucking infuriating

No honestly most are mad in some sorta of way but we have a militia of trigger happy enforces and the biggest military in the world. Not much we can do without outside support. If we peacefully protest. They arrest you, shoot and kill you. Call you a terrorist, possibly even ban you from getting jobs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You aren't going to get shot. Dont give up just yet.

They're rasict and it's exactly what they want.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you're keeping your self from being angry because the rascist want you to be angry you're still basing your behavior based on what racists want.
