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.

How stupid we humans are for coming up for all kinds of biases based solely on where other people were born at, more than their parents. Not only country wise, some people can get super defensive against people born 20-30km away within the same country and state.

To a lesser extent, more people should be aware of Dyogenes of Sinope, aka Dyogenes the Cynic's antics. A man that "saw through" society's bullshit and was willing to live and act according to what he preached: owning nothing, living in poverty, giving no fucks to societal norms of the time and being truly honest to everyone in their faces, behaving "like a dog", kynos, which is the root of the word cynic.

None of this matters. Every part of your existence is electrical impulses and chemicals reactions.

that we don't have freedom (in the us specifically here) there is a party that is pretty well known for it's "individualistic, and freedom centric approach"

I call bullshit though. Have you seen how much red tape surrounds everything? How much shit you have to get through in order to simply, do something. You want to build a house? Just wait until you find out about how many different possible ways that can be different. You want to run a business? Well you better believe that shits a mess also. Taxes? Simple? There are numerous variants. Federal, state, sales, property, estate, etc...

You want to do something trivial and supported by ALL of society? Even that is arguably more difficult than it should be. You can genuinely talk to people who have actual degrees in business (or at the very least, work in business) about business, and they will not be able to understand a single word you say. Because you aren't speaking the way that they speak, which is quite ironic considering how business is supposed to work.

You wanna go outside? You are probably being surveilled, and the likelihood of you ending up in the hands of law enforcement controlled AI recognition software is above 0.

Having been a linux user for 4 going on 5 years now. It's honestly kind of appalling, how much bureaucracy that everything has these days.
