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 your average American citizen with no contacts to Trump, the Whitehouse, or the Federal Government.

I'm sure the answer is no, but is there any way I could send him a message that he would actually receive?

Ex.

Donnie,

Go choke on broken glass.

John Oliver put commercials on Fox News

[–] [email protected] 82 points 5 days ago

Your first mistake here is assuming he can read.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 5 days ago

Like, have him actually read? My man, I don't think he can.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 days ago

No, he cannot read

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 days ago (2 children)

If you spend enough money you probably could.

Probably on the order of $10k-100k.

For example if you rent enough billboards across the country to make the national news, or do some other such stunt.

Fox News ad in prime time for West Palm Beach and DC should do it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

John Oliver did that at the start of his first term

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

If you send an open letter and it gets enough views.

  • A billboard in DC or someplace he is visiting
  • A TV commercial on Fox news
  • Go to a rally and hold up a sign

A billboard in DC or someplace he is visiting

On the route between the airport and MaraLardo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

He's obsessed with his image, I would bet he spends significant time reading posts about himself on social media. Your best bet, without having a bunch of money to put towards the cause, is to post about him on truth social. However, any message of the nature of your example would be deleted before he had a chance to read it.

If you have some money but not Elon money, the suggestions from others are probably your best bet and less likely to get filtered out if negative. Billboard, swarm of social media bots, etc.

Become a celebrity and say it in a soundbite on national television. His fragile ego will force a response.

Outside of that, prolly not.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

how desperate are you to have him read your message? If you sign up for Truth Social and spend your entire day hitting “refresh,” I bet he’d read it if you can be the first reply to one of his posts

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I dunno, a bullet to the face seems to be the only way he'll understand.

Your FBI agent has been assigned to you. His name is Jeff.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Your FBI agent

I thought Musk fired them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

You think he reads?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

Are you absolutely sure you want to tell a man with a fragile ego and an entire country's armed and police services at his beck and call, to, of all things, go choke on broken glass?

How do you see this going?

I don't know what message will get through to the man and change his course of action, but that ain't it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Realistically, no. You need luck more than anything.

Besides, what value does telling him that have?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, but the FBI agent assigned to you will.

I doubt the FBI is breaking that encryption.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Not in a good way. You'd have to make the news and get in trouble. (Btw without murder)

[–] xmunk 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Write it on a one trillion dollar bill.

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

Don’t forget to pay the tariff!

[–] gravitas_deficiency 2 points 3 days ago

But what if I don’t want to

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you paid him half a million dollars, perhaps.

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

I had a dream that he was at one of those low budget fundraisers where they serve ziti and chicken marsala, and he was seated across from me, and I got to yell at him. It was so satisfying.
