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.

Hopefully not sarcasm lol
Nope, no joke. It was one of those dreams I never realized. Iceland has a lot of geothermal power plants and volcanic activity. I always wanted to live there and work at one. Also it's geologically very similar to the place I was born.
The industry thing is sad though. They're kind of economically deadlocked but had a pretty solid plan to get in to tech development. Back in 2008. Right when the ~~Dotcom bubble crashed~~ Nordic Tiger period ended.
I have no idea where you're getting this from. Iceland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Per capita, obviously.
And I think you're getting your bubbles mixed up.
Wait you're right. It was not the Dotcom, it was the end of the Nordic Tiger period. Sorry I misspoke
Dumb as a box of rocks. Just making shit up and getting called out everywhere you go. Typical liberal.
Perhaps. This was Wikipedia stuff I read in like 2018. It said they had put money into a video game studio and internet companies. I can't claim to know how they've faired since.
What else would they have been doing? Their economy is mostly tourism otherwise, right?
It is somehow not surprising that you use Wikipedia articles from 8 years ago as your sourcing.
