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.

Whatever they might be able to replace humans for, they can't do it anywhere as cheaply as a human. So, the results would need to be very valuable. Outside of scientific research, which would still need to be verified and refined by humans, I don't see a sustainable use for these things. They're way, way too costly to use as a toy for the masses, that will soon be shut down.

the entire point of work is that a living being has to do it in order to create value (it can exchange) for survival.

a robot has no needs. a machine does not survive. a digital program does not live.

at the beginning of the work preocess, no matter how many layers of tools, devices and machines, layers of management, trade and logistics, is always a human. and that human needs to know all about how those tools, devices and machines work, or rather how to work with them. they have to understand management communications, count trade and logistics into every single action, all of that, for every work process.

and the oligarchy simply is not capable of that. the only thing they have is the management part, but only orders downwards and responses from below. that is all the work experience billionaire ceos have. and no single person, not even hundreds if not thousands, can possibly understand all that is necessary to upkeep the necessities of modern industrial life. only the collective of the working people can.

holy frog kinda drifted into mad agitprop rn ngl
