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.

Trumpists are believers in conspiracy theories.

You need to pay attention to this fact first.

Convince them that your candidate is against the New World Order (NWO) and Agenda 2030.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 3 months ago

Instead, tell them he's a WEF president who speaks at Davos. Then show him a picture of him at Davos in front of a WEF background.

[–] sundaymidnight@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You won't convince them by appealing to science, academic papers, public data, or serious journalism.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They can't vote for them but they can vote for politicians who support them.

Trump and Vance have already done alot to convince people not to vote for them.

If not, I think the problem is slot larger than Trump and Vance

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Candidates need to promise to improve the economy. That is how Trump got the votes to push him over in 2024.

[–] genericuser2000@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Could yell amsome insane shit about hin eating dogs and cats. I mean it worked once?

It's staggeringly impressive that alone didn't tank his entire presidential hopes. Among the 1,000 other offenses to any sensible human.

And if that was staggeringly impressive, even moreso is that was for his SECOND TERM

The world is waiting for America to become a serious nation again. But we're actually not waiting because we know that ship has sailed. You guys let J6 slide by ffs...

Good luck convincing a single spineless American to do the right thing.

Take part in your community and talk with people. You'd be surprised how much everyone agrees with each other on topics like healthcare.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It's been over a decade.

These aren't confused people anymore.

They. Are. Traitors.

They are traitors who will do anything, up to and including electing a felon rapist insurrectionist who regularly violates the Constitution and sends a masked unaccountable secret police force to harass and murder Americans, in order to get what they want.

That's not confusion. That's malicious intent.

If you want to know how to make traitors stop being traitors. If you want to know how to make fascists stop being fascists. Well, I'm not totally sure I wouldn't get banned for the answer. I definitely would on Reddit.

Those of us who passed our history classes have been trying for a decade to get people to help vote us in the opposite direction of this. That didn't work. Now it's happening and there's no easy way out of this.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Prepare for a continued (fraudulent) red wave. Arm yourselves.

Far too many people think the midterms are a panacea, they aren't. Please please take steps to organize and protect yourselves and your community.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Funny because I don't think we're making it to 2070+

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trying to reason with irrational actors is an exercise in futility.

You can’t. They’re in a cult.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So if so, how does one convince Trump voters to leave the cult?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

All of them? Mass influence campaign costing billions of dollars.

[–] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

First, you have to buy a SHITLOAD of Kool-Aid…

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Tell them elections are cancelled

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's not what you should be trying to do.

if you can convince democrats to vote, they will win because there are more of them.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You can't reason someone out of something they didn't reason in to. Bedsides, they've already drawn first blood in the civil war. Fuck 'em.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Skew the polls. Make it look like he’s doing amazing so they don’t need to show up.

[–] chemicalprophet@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Even their dipshit brains don’t function without our air.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Tell them they should go and vote in Greenland to make its annexation official, because if they mail in their ballot it will be stolen. And Greenland is the only option to have a third Trump presidency.
