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.

To me everyone should be. Think it's kind of selfish to let viable organs go to waste when people are in need for them.

That part doesn't matter one single shit to me. So what? I'd be dead. It doesn't matter what happens to my body when I'm dead.

For that matter, why should anyone give a shit? Society has this really illogical view on corpses. We place way too much reverence on empty husks of meat. They are dead. Dead. The person who was there is gone. Their body is not them.

And if the person had some dying wish to be buried or cremated or anything like that, you don't have to honor it. That's the thing about respecting the wishes of dead people; they are dead, their opinion matters as much as the opinion of a brick. You don't honor their memory by spending thousands of dollars to put an empty husk of meat pumped full of chemicals into a gaudy box and bury it in the ground next to hundreds of other boxes filled with empty meat husks. You honor their memory by remembering them. That's it.

Have a funeral. Have a remembrance party. Mourn them with stories, with tears, and with an abundance of drink and unhealthy comfort food. The body does not need to be a part of it.
