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'm a bit concerned about how much my husband has been watching his videos, but he's a hard man to argue with. I want to understand what it is Joe Rogan is saying, but I don't want to give the man my viewership. How/where do I get the info I can use to debate my husband?

Don’t kid yourself, you “giving” him a few views isn’t gonna make any difference, taking a principled stance on it is like peeing in the ocean.

Just watch a few of his videos or listen to some of his podcasts, instead of letting other people give your their viewpoint on him just get your own viewpoint, do it without any bias either.. pick an episode that you are interested in pick something you don’t agree with and pick something that could go either way. You might agree with some stuff and not other things but at least you determined that for yourself

I used to listen to his podcast but lost interest plus I’d only listen to the stuff I had any interest in, science and technology stuff. He had some odd views/stuff I didn’t agree with but that’s living in reality you aren’t always gonna agree with people.

Ignore this, OP - this is classic cryptofascist bullshit. “Give it an honest, unbiased chance! I used to like it - but not the Nazi stuff! Which doesn’t exist, btw”

Yeah, Joe Rohan is a fascist. Don’t give him views and don’t believe anyone who talks like this about him, as they are also a fascist.

If the OP was looking for someone’s opinion on Joe Rogan to argue on the internet with some rando then sure don’t waste your time or energy or give Joe Rogan any clicks (once again he already makes enough money so your principled non click doesn’t mean shit but anyway) but it’s concerning her cuz her husband likes him.. so ya maybe go a little above and beyond for your significant other.

I never told OP to give Joe Rogan a chance I said to listen to him to see what her husband likes about him so she can form her own views on him and possibly understand what’s appealing to her husband about him or not, she can listen to him and think he’s a total shitstain.. but pretty sure you actually have to listen to people to determine what they are all about.. unless you have zero friends I’m not sure how you have met anyone with this amazing line of logic.

OP should ignore jackasses like you who tell her what to think. And because I’ve listened to some Joe Rogan podcasts that makes me a facsist? Lmao get the fuck off the internet for a few hours you are on this shit way too much. Saying that, OP could also ignore what I’m saying too since she can choose to do whatever she wants instead of being a mindless clown that listens to terminally online ass sniffers throwing around words like they are verbal diarrhea..
