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.

The first 0.1%er to die wont be the beginning of their downfall. It will be the beginning of corporate extraterritorial privilege. Corporate armed bodyguards will be afforded the same qualified immunity as police. Why would the government allow this? Because who would be next on the chopping block after the billionaires? Them so a politician walking down the street wouldnt have to fear being egged or assaulted because if you shove your hand into your pocket near them the worst that can happen is they have to pay a wrongful death settlement when their bodyguard shoots you and the bootlickers will endorse it because "everyone should have the right to protect themselves" and the masses wont kick and scream because they never do.
I know your thinking thats not how a revolution works, 2 guys with guns isnt that scary we have numbers! Tomorrow its 4 guys with sub machine guns and the week after it looks like a PMC convoy in Falujah. Yeah you might get them, but who is volunteering to be in the front row trying to charge down a mounted belt fed machine gun on an SUV?
How many people do you know who cant tell the difference between the "upper middle class" and the uber-rich? People who wouldnt be able to differenciate between killing someone for driving an Audi vs the CEO of the Volkswagen-Audi group? It would descend very fast into checkpoints into certain neighbourhoods and gated communities with heavily armed guards.
I genuinely believe things can only get worse.:)
