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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Huh? Steve loved and respected the hell out of all animals.
One of his most famous lines was, "Oh, crikey! Look at how mad he is!", while poking an animal with a stick.
To the uninformed it may have appeared that way but he was an expert in handling reptiles which is typically where he said those lines.
Few could catch and relocate animals as gently as he did… and even fewer while putting on a show that garnered significant interest in animal conservation.
He was genuinely responsible for the repopulation of crocodiles across Australia and several species of endangered snakes.
The showmanship was a facade. He was the real deal.
Being an expert in handling reptiles, doesn't mean he should have been handling them in the wild.
Rule number one of wildlife conservation...look, but don't touch.
You know he was doing relocation work in many of his videos right? Some of the snakes were captured for anti-venom and breeding programs for conservation efforts.
He wasn’t bothering animals for shits and giggles.
Oh. So, you haven't actually watched his show? In literally every episode he handled any wildlife he happened to come across. Everything. He made a point of picking them all up so the camera could get a better look at them, before eventually letting them escape.
He antagonized every animal he encountered for the sake of the shot he was trying to get. That's exploitation...not conservation.
Many is not all.
He was the most successful conservationist in Australian history so you can bitch all you like, he got results where others failed and continue to fail.
Wut? Lol Steve Irwin has had one of the greatest posthumous image rehabilitation in history. He may have never harmed anything, but he sure didn't respect them either. He was pretty disliked by conservationists when he was still alive.
