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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump...

Statistically, he'll die of poor health in the next four years. He's very unhealthy, and very old. Medicine can only do so much.

We thought that when he got covid though.

Some people are kept alive through sheer meanness.

My hypothesis: narcissistic people live longer, because they apply the placebo effect at all times to themselves.

[–] WoodScientist 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it's simply due to stress. Most people care about people other than themselves. They worry about the effect of their actions on others. They worry about not living up to their potential. They worry about letting people they care about down. Narcissists by contrast get to live blissfully ignorant low stress lives. Look at Trump. That bastard has not a care in the world. In his mind, he's already perfect. Notice how the presidency tends to rapidly age people, but it didn't seem to affect Trump? This is why.

Yeah he's golfing everyday

He's stressed doing politics for an hour, so he'll go golf for 4hrs. If anything, he's getting younger.

I agree with your theory that narcissists live longer but I also think they suck the lives out of the people closest to them

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sooo... Narcissists are a type of vampire?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Yes, but not even the sexy kind of vampire

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

More like the Wraiths from Stargate Atlantis.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You could really be on to something there. It scans

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It scans?! Yar, I'll be lootin' this here phrase, matey!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Phrase is free, may simply take, comrade

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's said that the good die young. That orange shitstick might be nearly immortal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Mmm idk, personally I know a selfish POS that killed himself a few years out of college. Then again: every rule will have its exceptions.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

It’s the mean granny rule.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And in that case, access to treatment not available to the general public yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I bet it wasn't horse dewormer for him.

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

So he got the horse rewormer then. I think you're onto something

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Keep sending him burgers and fries. Fried in lard too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

If he's got dementia, he'll probably die within 10 years of his first symptoms, and that's been a while. It'll still be too long, obviously.

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

One can only hope....
