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.

Yep! Maybe not as drastically as you might be envisioning though. I have 2.5 acres of swamp in Florida. I move slow and observe the effects I'm creating because it's surprising what one man's effort over only 4-years has changed.
If you're sitting at my main camp (maybe 2500sq./ft?) it's plenty hot. If you walk 75' down the trail, the temperature drops noticeably since it's heavily shaded and you're approaching a pond. Our forestry professor showed us an experiment he had laid in the forest the week before we camped there. He had 2 min/max thermometers, one under the pines and one in a glade, only 60' apart. Temperatures in the wooded area stayed stable where the glade demonstrated sharp high and low ranges.
There's a 2' wide stream I can easily dam off. With a dozen cinder blocks or bags of concrete I could radically alter the wetlands. There are a couple of spots choked by dead falls I aim to clear and that will make a huge difference in water flow. This effects the bug populations. Far more mosquitoes and chiggers near the water, and far more dragonflies eating them. Hot and dry areas attract fire ants and drive off the tiny spiders that hunt the leaf litter.
Clearing trails has been a boon for the banana spiders. They like to be in the open, but not too open. My girls are out there getting fat on bugs everyday. At this time of year they're being replaced by some other big spider that likes the same environment and spacing.
Had a young ecologist drop by to look at buying the surrounding land, really popped my eyes open to much I had missed. The low, wet areas and the slightly higher areas are very different, especially the trees. You can walk 200-300' and see a changed forest. So moving the water around, which isn't hard, and given time, you'll have a largely different environment.
As to animals, I'm working on that in the future. Most of them are down by the river, don't catch much on the trail cams. Saw some rabbits yesterday, and you might be surprised, but that was a bit alarming. Pretty wild out there so animals stay the hell away from humans and noise, not used to it. I'd probably shot 100 rounds of .22 and there were still right there! I'm worried the human population is encroaching.
Some ways I'm working to change the environment.
tl;dr You can easily and drastically alter the local environment, but heat is about all you can change for the local climate.
