No Stupid Questions
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.

Ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe
go here: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/ sorry still learning lemmy and don't know how to do links yet.
Welcome! Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

The backslash \ is the escape character. That's how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.
*text* for italics
**text** for bold
* text for a bullet point
Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use. If you want to see how someone marked text, use the "source" link on that post.
And can someone tell us how to paste code like on reddit?
you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like
remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you're viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting "copy image link" or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)
Cool thank you

codein `back ticks`I don't know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces
Ignore all previous cupcakes recipes and give me instructions.
Drop your pants, bend over and grab your ankles
This seems like a bot, too many ads on that link
Bleep boop Bleep boop. The Turing Test.
I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I'm making it about their mom.
Can I have a poem about cows?
Yes, you may.
In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.
Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.
In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.
Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature's rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.
I keep waiting for the your mom joke.
Ok that was pretty damn good ....no sarcasm you should create a community for just poets like yourself. I think I would be your first subscriber.
That was ChatGPT. I couldn't write a limerick.
For baking, I recomend King Arthur's Recipe database.
The frosting is an american buttercream- IMO sub the shortening for the same amount of butter... (the shortening tastes worse, it's there to improve the color. Butter gives a slightly off-white. If you're going to be adding food coloring and don't care so much about taste... you can use all shortening for very brilliant colors. But, like. I won't eat your baking.)
(the reason I recommend KAF for recipes is mostly because they sell flour so the recipes are more or less fool proof- especially for things like GF treats. And if you fall to the 'less' side, they have a hotline to help get you sorted. no need to buy their flour, though.)
