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 dont know, those types of people in real life tend to either die young or live wayyyyyyyyyy too long.
I love Akira but Kaneda has serious plot armor. He gets shot at by soldiers with automatic weapons countless times and survives. That and the collapsing buildings, psychics, and other hazards he just shrugs off. Meanwhile, Chiyoko gets stabbed by some random scumbag.
Kenny from South Park?
Daniel Jackson
He may die a fair bit, but he won't stay dead for long.
When he gets his funeral card punched 10 times his next one is free.
King (one punch man)
Wolverine, who completely regenerated from a single drop of blood.
Does that, uh, mean that every time he bleeds he clones himself?
Not just blood...
Why you think he's so grumpy all the time? He can't risk a single drop of semen becoming an army of wolverines.
Truly a #nofap for the sake of humanity
Reiner Braun
James Bond.
The Doctor (Doctor Who) and maybe a couple of his nemeses from his home world. Sure, he dies every few years, but regeneration into a new body is literally written into the lore. But then occasionally the Doctor is literally female, so at that point I assume she's the queen of plot armour instead.
Gandalf
Bink from the Xanth novels. He is a magician who jahcndustbdrmicyd vjsybfkauchd auchwnzkhfmaicybfkaubd w
spoiler
He has a magical ability that prevents him from suffering harm by conjuring impossible coincidences. It also prevents anyone from being told about the nature of the ability or discovering it via magical means.
Also, I am pretty sure he becomes the King of Xanth in one of the later books.
Spartan 117 from Halo. It's pretty explicitly said that he has luck on his side. Hypothetically, he's quantum immortal (we might all be actually) and the checkpoint system in the games is based around this immortality.
Road Runner. Pretty sure it was literally one of the rules the writers had for the show.
Road Runner ran so the rest of us could relate to Coyote:
BJ Blazkowicz literally got his head chopped off and survived.
Mr Bean
Thread over. The only three correct answers are Mr Bean, Mr Magoo, and Inspector Gadget.
All other answers are wrong.
Rick Sanchez.
He's supposed to be the smartest person in the universe. The rub is that the writers aren't as smart as they want him to be, so that leads to them writing his enemies to be dumber than how smart they can write him, to preserve his in-universe superior intelligence.
He can make anything out of anything. He has cybernetic implants that can do anything the plot needs.
I actually like the show (a social crime in 2026) but being an overpowered, plot armored, deus ex machina is his gimmick.
Isn't that part of the plot though? He's super depressed and part of it is because everyone else is so goddamn stupid
Yes, but my point is that his hyper-intelligence is to a point something we just have to believe in since he is being written by people who aren't hyper-intelligent themselves.

One Punch Man.
It's his entire schtick.
OPM is what you get when somebody asks themselves, what would the story be for someone that is completely, totally, absolutely, and indefatigably invincible in every regard?
In my defense, I have not seen the third season yet.
I don't think that's plot armor. It is just character design. They don't keep him alive for plot reasons, the whole plot is that he is not defeated, ever.
I feel like King fits more. OPM is depressed Superman, but King is literally taking all the credit and get out of deadly situations alive by being at the right place at the right time

The Winchester brothers. They gave up even pretending as the show went on and just embraced the absurdity.
Mr. Magoo
