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.

Falling down, since office space has been mentioned already.

Edit: nvm falling down was already mentioned.

'Office Space', easily.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I’ll give you three guesses why Disney has never greenlit a sequel to A BUG’S LIFE, and the first two guesses don’t count.

office space

[–] [email protected] 85 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
  • Office Space
  • Clerks
  • 9 to 5

More anti establishment than anti-work, but still worth mentioning:

  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Fight Club
  • Falling Down
  • They Live

Seconding Falling Down

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Anything you watch instead of doing you job.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Go to work? Fuck that, I'm watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

It's more effective if you do it on the clock.

To list one no one else has mentioned yet: Sorry To Bother You

this, for multiple reasons

These are a bit of a stretch...

Joe Vs. the Volcano

Brazil

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.

“I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job! … I’m not arguing that with you!”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.

He can definitely do the job.

That's more anti-finance than anti-work.

They run a business making soap, after all.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

They work only to bring chaos.. "it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them". Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to 'work' from home and do nothing.

They didn't just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

I'm not sure I'd put it in this category.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Anything in the Alien universe. Weyland-yutami do not take proper care of their employees.

Waiting... [2005]

[–] [email protected] 22 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

This thread doesn't have enough Office Space so I'm gonna say Office Space

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.

You know what I'd do if I was rich? Two "Office Space" comments at the same time, man

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

Fuckin” A

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

I'm not going to single out a movie, but 1999 had the best slate of "fuck you, cubicle" movies ever.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 16 points 15 hours ago

Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)

Soylent Green

Matrix

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

The bums will always lose!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, well, you know... That's just, like, your opinion, man.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 15 hours ago
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Hackers
[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Well, since nobody has mentioned office space yet..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

But not enough.

Also, I suggest Office Space.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Horrible Bosses

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

Office space

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

I would add a more recent one : Mondays https://imdb.com/title/tt27510455

Sorry to Bother You

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I would have thought that rule 1 would be "no stupid questions" but here we are

Edit: sorry! I read the question as "anti-woke"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

I did too at first, you're not alone.
