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.

Or like say hey this part in the movie I did not get can you explain it to me. Or ask something about their past or how they feel on being naked in a movie? I mean it would lower the pool of people who would come on, but it would be way better for their jobs showing they can be honest about shit instead of always pushing some crap movie or crap book or crap Broadway play? They always seem to come out years later and say yea that movie sucked it was a shit experience. Then the host could ask why the hell did you pick to do it to begin with?

Presumably if they wanted your admiration, they wouldn't be a friggin talk show host, which is by definition and by design a shill for corporate products and messages. There was that one time that one guy said something cool and the other time that other guy said that thing to that famous person, but come on; that's not their job. Earning your admiration is not the job.

A talk show is not the personal platform of the host, any more than a role in a movie is the personal platform of the actor. A talk show is a commercial with some content sprinkled in to trick you into watching the ad. I don't know why you are expecting anything more from it and you should be looking elsewhere for the needs you are expressing. You're eating candy when you're hungry and wondering why you get a tummy-ache.
