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.

i thought this would imply some sort of death threat and have heard it quite a bit, but it may mean something else and i misinterpret it.

Succinctly it means "I'm going to get rid of you by restricting your ability to get near me, whether by your own will, or physical assault/death."

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 hours ago

Or restraining order

@hddsx @s0larfl4re

Context is key... But it is a threat 100%... Just depends how ...serious

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Exactly could be a threat to fire a person. It could be a threat to get them kicked out of a house. It could be a threat to make them quit. It couple be a threat to kill them.

Yeah without context no way to know.

Could be they were playing Scrabble.

someone being bullied repeatedly for being neurodivergent and acting “abnormal”. and saying they didn’t actually like them.

trying to make the person have no friends

“ur a tumor, i’ll get rid of you one way or another.”

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm confused. Who is "they"? Who is addressing whom in the quote?

[–] s0larfl4re@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

bully to victim

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

The guy was saying that while holding a gun in one hand and a knife in another.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh won't someone rid me of this meddlesome...

[–] listless@lemmy.cringecollective.io 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

amateur detective teenager gang and their talking Great Dane?

The content is open to interpretation based on context, but the «» indicates that English is likely not the quoter’s primary language.

So based on that, I have to ask: are you asking specifically about the nested idioms in the sentence?

i am asking if it’s a death threat

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No lol about it. That’s either a thinly veiled death threat, or someone saying that they will keep bullying and harassing until the person goes away.

[–] s0larfl4re@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

you’re right, i removed the lol.

ok, thank you, they say this person continues to stalk them but has stopped talking to them and bullying them, accused the victim of stalking “because they have autism”.

“don’t talk to anyone or I will give u something to be anxious about”.

[–] erev@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

the person being stalked might be under severe mental duress from being stalked, but it definitely sounds like they have a host of issues of their own.

[–] De4dSpace@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Maybe they wish to get rid of said individual by disassociating from them. Both parties should part ways.
