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.

You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

We live in a criminally stupid country but Musk is doing his best to show everyone that being a billionaire should be a crime.

Edit: the tweet is fake, btw

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

It's scary how plausible this tweet sounds in this age. I had to frantically Google to make sure this wasn't a true tweet haha ๐Ÿ˜…

There's usually stuff "unspoken" and it seems the folks in power are slowly removing that veil.. with minimal repercussions.

I hate this dumbshit as much as trump, but we shouldn't be sharing fake twitter posts. It doesn't help anything.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Anything from twitter should be suspect, especially without a date. I get your point though, I'll note screenshot is fake.

No, it's intended to show their real intent. He has an entire PR team dedicated to trying to make him appear intelligent, competent, and in control. However his actions speak so much louder than words. He's barely able to contain himself. Luckily, his living flak jacket that he wears around is learning to speak and his hilariously repeating all of the things he says in private.

[โ€“] [email protected] -3 points 2 days ago

Although the tweet isn't real, what it says about him is real.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is this real? I can't find this tweet

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not real, but it's concerning that it sounds like something he might say.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It sounds like I imagine his internal monologue sounds, given the stuff he actually lets through whatever is left of his pr filter.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

No, but based on his actions I think its a reasonable interpretation of his thoughts.

Dennis! There's some lovely filth down 'ere!
