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.

How about this for an imaginary analogy:

"Studies found that when teachers are allowed to break the fingers of students who perform poorly, scores improve across all measures."

Just because something that is unethical has practical benefits does not make it ethical.

What in the hell is the matter with you weirdos? What a reach and a fucking insane take on the issue.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wow. I can't believe how little you care about education. Maybe all that vaselline went to your brain.

Ah, yet another weird reach and asinine take. Got it.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have an astounding inability to consider anyone else's perspective for even a moment.

Have you ever had an incident with a railway spike?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And you are still doing it. Sigh.

I've given you several chances to understand the perspective of the people you are arguing with you because you obviously were blindsided by what people were saying.

Instead of trying to understand their perspective, you just call everyone stupid immediately and at every opportunity.

If all you're interested in talking at people without understanding their perspective, you're kinda missing out on half of your entire relationship with humanity, at least here on the internet.

I understand where you are coming from and I too gave you multiple chances to understand how fucking stupid this topic is to get all hot and bothered about. Have it done, or not. I can not believe that people really care that strongly about something so unimportant. I'm sorry if you feel the need to project your own relationship problems onto me, through a stupid thread, but hey. You do you.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You've given me several opportunities to understand how stupid you think everyone's opinions are. How very generous of you. I can't believe how close-minded I've become.

Finally! I got through to you. Phew. That took some work.

And thanks for not downvoting. We had a respectable exchange of insults. Have a good one.

Haha, true enough. Until next time.
