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.

No it won't.
In 500-600Myrs, life under known parameters will be completely impossible.
But our technology will have scaled, barring a repeated civilization and technology crash of epic proportions.
Bullshit.
Our "technology," culture, practice and morality keeps proving that the rich are obsessed with their wealth, power and privilege, and don't give a flying fluff about future needs nor adaptation.
Your presumption is that age-old one that naively assumes that new tech = betterment of reality for the human condition. But it rarely actually works that way outside of stuff like vaccines.
I recently saw an estimate of around 2 billion more years.
500-600Myrs ahead (all while everything gets hotter and hotter, outpacing species ability to deal with it), photosynthesis as we know it will stop working.
That's exactly what the article I linked was about.
Excellent.
It's going to be rougher even earlier than that. In a "mere" 250 million years we'll get another supercontinent, which sounds amazing but it's the sort of geological situation that lead to the destruction of most terrestrial life because all the land becomes a giant desert.
I got on a geology kick one day, I came out wiser and much sadder.
Oh sure, I am sure they weren't saying humanity would last that long (although technology may help), just 'any plants'.
