No Stupid Questions
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.

I guess maybe I thought we were past this…or at least most social media has enough sensible people that things like this are properly shouted down…
We may be. Sadly, those sensible people are not on social media.
Try asking any question on !vegan or similarly culty forum. 🤷🏼♂️ This species will always behave like crabs in a fuckin' bucket. Right up to the very end we all had a hand in.
That’s a good connection. Vegans are also popularly perceived as being condescending douchebags but I think most of them are probably humble, chill people who are doing their thing. I don’t have any evidence of this. People laugh like idiots when studies come out that vegan diets are bad for babies or proven to cause ______ deficiency…ok. I know a Native American guy who owns a bbq place and sells tshirts with a cartoon of Indians sitting around a campfire saying “vegan is ____ tribe’s word for village idiot.” Seems like cheap larry the cable guy laughs and anyone who uses this as an excuse to laugh at suffering is a piece of shit…but you do you, folks.
To put a finer point on it: Larry the Cable Guy is an act that the vast majority of his audience don't/won't realize that the joke is, in fact, them. 🤦🏼♂️
People will fool you online using their best behavior as a facade. It's not until you say something that doesn't tickle their fancy that their true colors come out.
And I see your true colors Shining through. - Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake

I was misled by a remake.
I know, and i hope it isn't seen as rude when i make such corrections "at everyone's service".
Accuracy is never rude despite fools taking umbrage. You're cool dude.
