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.

In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product's and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

I really liked your comment until you dropped a Bible verse.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Yep.. Turns the post from somewhat interesting/meaningful to preachy and judgemental.

I'm not religious, but I think that was a justified bible quote, it describes the point made, and theres even an alternative example. I get that religion has done a bunch of bad things, but that was a harmless quote.

There's never a justified Bible quote and for you to say that and not be religious is bizarre.

Eh, I can see your point, and the commentor also mentioned jesus in another comment, which is weird and annoying, but I think in the original comment it was being used as a way to show that this idea has been around for a very long time, and give more credence to their point.

I would certainly never quote the bible, and it is kinda weird, but I don't think its bad enough to be worth discarding their main message.

Well I'm sorry that upset you, but doesn't the song more or less convey a similar message?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

It does. That person is an absolute clown.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It didn't upset me haha. I'm saying you seemed intelligent and I agreed with your point and then you drop some Jesus on me. May as well be preaching the flat earth or the lizard people.

So you're saying you'll accept the same message when it comes from a black man, but not when it comes from a Middle Eastern man?

IDK, sounds kinda racist if you ask me.
