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.

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it IRL

Can you name a “vegan” protest?

You know if you do the same for “atheists protest” tons of shit pops up too. Even ones without Megan Kelly. You position is so flimsy and yet you still are digging in. You are a reply away from “do your own research”. Embattled ideology always comes with protest. The absolute unmitigated smugness that one group of people are more annoying than another based on their ideology is problematic at best and at worst, you are a pube away from wearing a red hat and diapers.

You make me reconsider if I am on the right side of this, you are such an asshole that you drive people away from thinking of using trump as an insult

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What? I wasn’t even chatting to you. You don’t know who is or isn’t the asshole here or even if there is one. 1 misinformed idiot makes a broad generalization, I challenged them and then you come to their rescue with whatever point your are trying to make? Trump is a fucking loser making broad generalizations based on bullshit and lies. Which, on a small level, is the same as whatever idiot I was arguing with was doing - hence, the mention of the likeness.

If you are saying that I’m soooooo terrible that I put people off of using trump as a slur and or insult, you are on the wrong side of history.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Bro, I meant that you are being so much of an asshole that I don’t want to use trump as an insult.

Now I understand why you’re hitting up my comments, I thought you were that vegan dude I blocked.

What was meant is that I love using the cheeeto in chief as an insult so much, that I would be sad to not have to use it as an insult because it a behavior that you are using.

But yeah, you are an asshole and I am sad that if I choose to continue to use the leader of the Gravy Seals as an insult, that people might associate with you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Haha that’s it? Your hill to die on is how funny people find “gravy seals”. You’re right, I’m an asshole. I’m cool with that. You are an idiot tho. I’m not surprised you blocked a vegan guy on here, that’s the way! Fucking redneck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Looking at your comment history I’m right. You cheesy fuck. Do you have a red hat? I think you might. Hope you enjoy your meat lovers pizza as you try to wax on about vegan and atheist activism. That’s some real alpha shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There’s nothing wrong with being a vegan or an atheist, no one has a problem with 99.9% of them and they are entitled to their life choices.

The alpha theory was disproven years ago and the ones that need to be alphas have their own issues to handle.

The pizza was delicious though, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh thank you so much for reminding me that “99.9%” of any group is “good. You accuse me of missing context? Hello! How is a sweeping generalization like this not missing the context? The notion that you have the “knowledge” to talk shit about anything YOU ARE NOT is my fucking point. That is the context. Just the fact that you mentioned the pizza and then thought it was clever to say it was delicious just shows you are a discount internet troll that has a par-boiled idea of life but thinks what you have to say is important or thought out. You are full of shit and while you have one salient point about all American presidents being corrupt and murderous, the fact that you can spend even 5 words defending trump Shows that somewhere, deep down, you’d sell it all out for you piece of capitalism’s pie.
