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.

I own a long dagger/short sword. The hilt is in the design of the German eagle with its wings spread out as the hand guard and in the middle of the hand guard is a swastika. The scabbard is also adorned with swastikas on the top, mid section, and bottom.

I don't want to own this piece as I don't want to be seen as a Nazi sympathizer or anything of the sort, but I don't want to sell it to someone who actually is a Nazi sympathizer or something like that.

What do I do with it besides trash it? I don't want to trash it because it's decent quality. It's not historic in any way (which disturbs me to think about) but it's well made.

What can I do with it?

I doubt that. As I said it's not historical. It was made within the last two decades so I don't see a museum being interested.

Oh, so it's not actually Nazi memorabilia, just gross fanart. Melt it down.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 5 months ago

Oh, I missed that part. Just trash it, then.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Oh yeah, so it's just junk.

If it were actually from WWII, I'd say there's no reason not to hold on to a piece of history, but if it's just neo-nazi garbage? I agree with the others saying modify it or toss it.

Oh it's a replica? Why do you have it in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

It was a gift though I don't even remember who gave it to me.

Edit: It was my sister. The blade was her exes and she didn't want to keep it due to obvious reasons.

You did not have a big reaction as in "WTF are you on about?!" after being gifted a nazi prop? IMO both you and the gifter should've had an unfavorable memory of the event etched onto your brains forever.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No it was one of those "I need to get rid of this and you're the only person I feel comfortable having it because I know you're not a Nazi" things.

They gave it to me because they knew I would appreciate it as a blade and not as Nazi fan art shit.

It was my sister btw. It was her exes and she gave it to me. I just remembered since people keep asking and I've been thinking about it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

No worries, figured there was a story behind it. That is a pretty wild ex though, good riddance (the ex and not the blade).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

My only other thought besides destroying it: maybe gift it to a theater so it can be used as a prop? There are plays that focus on nazis/neo-nazis (e.g. The Producers) so maybe they could get some use out of it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It was made within the last two decades

In that case, destroy it and drop it into a scrap metal recycling bin.
