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.

They are citing ONS figures of excess deaths as proof the vaccines are killing people. I tried to explain that not being able to get a doctor's appointment, staying home and getting fat, etc explain the figures (official sources have said it too) but they said it's "gaslighting" and then said their family doctor wouldn't get the vaccine.

Ask them questions. Have them explain how, why. When you find contradictions or confusion, ask how they resolve them.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Get the vaccine. Best response.

Remind them abortion is illegal in many places, that women are to be awarded certificates for having a "litter", and show them the article about the brain dead woman kept on life support for months to deliver a child slightly over one pound that now needs months in the NIC unit to survive.

Oh damn, I didn't know the baby's health was so, so bad. All that extra time of forcing "life" to still create a bad situation.

And the mother's family in beaucoup medical debt, as the cherry on top of this nightmare sundae.

Yes they are. Those who don't take them help depopulate the planet

Slap them in the face to bring them back to their senses.

COVID is being used to depopulate and the vaccine is for those who want to survive

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

You could agree, that there are those internationally trying to kill members of the general public. Not with vaccinations, but with misinformation. Anyone they can convince, has a chance to die. Tell them to not be a stupid lemming.

I knew several people who died from COVID and one died from health complications later. I know my reality, but I guess others may need to face death directly to learn the hard lesson.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

good idea, i'm sure they'll get better on their own

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They likely won't get better. And that's why you cut ties. You can't change the way they view the world. They have to come to that on their own.

Just ask them to pass the potato salad.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Are people still talking about Covid vaccines? Aren’t there new conspiracies to move onto. How about Biden being a robot?

[–] jonesey71@lemmus.org 2 points 2 months ago

Tell them the vaccine for not being whalloped with your baseball bat is to shut up about that stupid anti-vaxxer shit and you highly recommend they take that vaccine.

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Punch them in the fucking face and 300 kick their asses out the door

[–] DominatorX1@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 month ago

When everybody agrees so perfectly. When conformity is so absolute. When dissent is so rare. It makes one suspicious.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Not even gonna fact check myself I'm just gonna bet excess deaths fell off dramatically when the vaccine became widespread. Literally the opposite of what you'd expect if the vax was killing people.
