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.

The “NA” word is nazi apparently, fyi to everyone else confused

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I enjoy how the OP is not trying to say it and then this post is just like:

nazi

Thou art very much testing the limits of the spirit of this community.

Is there an only stupid questions community?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I would LOVE that community. I would ask questions like

"If the silverware in Beauty and the Beast is alive, do they get pleasure from being stabbed into a delicious piece of meat, and then stuffed into a persons mouth, only to be licked by their tongue? Does the teapot feel light headed if you pour out too much tea?"

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Those are actually quite astute considering the subject matter!

(That teapot question is going to stay with me a while… 🤨🤔🤭 )

Smoky fires want flame and heateth. J'rk the c'rd, and out tumbles the gold

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

North American?

Seriously though I don’t know what NA is supposed to mean.

I know the N word in reference to black people.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I thought they were saying "Non Applicable.

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Using the word should be fine, endorsing the ideology is a different story.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Depends on context?

Nazi isnt a word that is banned on its own typically.

Accusing someone of being a Nazi? Probably should be banned for that, unless you have actual evidence of the person youre accusing endorsing the specific policies of Nazis. Throwing that word around just to describe anyone you disagree with or doesn't agree with you is quite frankly incredibly disrespectful to the people who had to suffer at the hands of actual Nazis, whether they are still alive or not. It cheapens the word.

Speaking in a historical context? Definitely shouldn't be banned for that.

At the end of the day, it depends on the moderators of the instance and community. There is no guarantee anything you say or do online will prevent you from being banned. Even if you follow the rules.

Thank you.

Only sensible person in this thread. My lord. They throw that word around like confetti. Fucking children.

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

Yeah, just because they're waving swastika flags and trying to deport or kill all the non-whites doesn't mean they're Nazis

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

The modern term is "MAGA".

[–] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Not Applicable? Why couldn't you
