!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.

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.

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 would like MANA (Make America Nice Again)
I think you mean No Kings Day.
I'm celebrating Happy Fireworks Day!
I've got new neighbors that are probably about to hear, "Fire in the hole!" unironically for the first time. You can actually see the shockwave from my blackpowder signal cannon. Good chance the cops show up.
I usually use the cannon to vaporize 10oz of kerosene for a nice mushroom cloud of fire, but I'll have to see how it goes.
I'm a pyro.
Y'all wear safety glasses if having bottle rocket fights or roman candle duels.
After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.
Always have been, always will be.
The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare
Don't worry, once they deported or killed all the ~~Jews~~ illegals the prices will surely come down.
You're not a wallet. You're an automaton producing value for capitalists.
They dribble a little money into your wallet each fortnight so you can buy subscriptions and delivered take away.

Oh goodness no. America has fallen, what the fuck does July 4th mean.
I live abroad, so I can just ignore the whole stupid thing. 😄
Canadian here. I spent most of July 1 in bed! Was not feeling patriotic! Did not watch any fireworks.
I'm feeling patriotic enough to burn US flags and I'm not even from the US!
I don't even like to call myself American. I'm a veteran, and it turned me off of America more than anything.
Family is doing a get-together but if I hear any patriotic bullshit, I'm gone, but with them, it's unlikely to even hear the holiday they're gathering for mentioned. They just needed an excuse to party.
Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Nobody has ever liked everything about the US. Not even George Washington. If you can't appreciate the good about the country just because you're paying attention to the bad currently then you should have never celebrated it in the first place because the bad was always there.
The things you dont like about America don't have to be your complete view of the country or its history. If there is even a small thing you have ever liked about the country then the 4th is for celebrating that.
Celebrate our victories. Celebrate our culture and our successes. Celebrate how mad people are going to be at you for celebrating. Celebrate that there are like-minded people elsewhere in the country. Real Americans in hard times and with doubts. Celebrate our history and our positive contributions to the rest of the world.
Celebrate a possible and hopeful future of what comes after.

How about you stage a huge protest, and this time you don't leave until Fuckwad McClowncar is out of the Whitehouse?
Not much of a social safety net. Take that much time off work and things are going to get uncomfortable pretty fast. Last I heard, it's like 1/3 of America that is two paychecks away from losing their housing. It's sad.

I've decided to actively take the flag back from conservatives. There are some good ideals and good people in this country, and good people who fought for those ideals. I'm not proud of most of what the government has done and all of what it is doing now, but I can be proud of the people who want to get along with everyone and fight for diversity and freedom and the good things that should be fought for.
We used to have porch lights twinkling in red, white, and blue all July. This year, we're just flashing blue adamently. And that only because our lights can't radiate black.

Unless a large protest is happening in my city, I'm not planning to be outside on July 4.

How many will die on July 4th? What parade will be targeted? Who will be the next mass murderer? Stay home for your safety people. Too many crazies out there now to do anything in public.
I’ll be staying home this year. There is nothing to celebrate. At this point I’d rather watch it all burn down.
Me, but not from USA, so....
