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 see all the memes about guillotines for the rich, funny in spirit, but actually building one in the town square is not practical. They take a ton of materials, they are huge, and they do not even work reliably. Would it not make more sense to build one from metal with hydraulic pistons or something? I am not a machinist, but a more mobile unit you could wheel into a square to decapitate a few effigies seems about as effective for sending a message, and easier to remove or relocate if needed.

Other options are available besides death. Like, lock the 34x felon up in prison, like they should have already done...

[–] missingno@fedia.io 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They should have. But they won't.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Interesting.

I say they should have locked him up, I get downvoted.

You agree, he should have been locked up, you get upvoted.

I don't give a fuck about the actual vote count, that doesn't matter. But the differential of votes for two people that expressed the same opinion, the fucker should have been locked up, well that dumbfounds me.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You’re getting downvoted because you’re saying we should do something that clearly will never be done. He ain’t been locked up yet despite a laundry list of crimes and convictions.

When justice becomes a joke, people will eventually take it into their own hands, for better or worse.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And by all means, if that's what needs to be done, I already said it won't hurt my feelings. I just choose not to participate in such a way. My late father was a weapons engineer, amongst other skills and trades. I shot myself in the arm when I was only 3.

So I choose to be a non-violent person, because I know what it's like to be shot. Life ain't a game, nor should it be treated as such. We should all be here trying to help each other, not this bullshit we got going on today..

There are people at the top who have the power to make things better for everyone but choose the furthest from that. They do direct harm to so many people with no accountability. To deny them of their lives would be showing them the respect that they show to others. It's the least we could all do.

Yeah man, but there’s what should be, and what is. Things are fucked. And unfortunately the people fucking everything up aren’t going anywhere peacefully.

It's cause yours comes off as more optimistic whereas the other comes off as more realistic. Like, as a recent example, Diddy should have gotten a life sentence or even at least 20 years in prison, but he only got 4 and at most he might serve like 1-2. Seeking justice through the proper channels in this world doesn't work and won't work till we destroy everything and rebuild even if the road to get there is paved in blood.

And I choose to not participate in a world of violence (save for self defense or defense of my family or friends). I'd rather be helpful than harmful, like I'd rather carry groceries upstairs for elderly people rather than looking for a reason to shoot someone because they talk with a weird accent.

Did you miss the part where I'm pointing out the fact that it won't happen? I'm not agreeing with you, I'm making a point.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Did I miss your username? No.

Are you here with intent on causing trouble? I'm not.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're just here dividing people, are you from Russia per chance

[–] missingno@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm here making a point, and you're willfully ignoring that point to pretend I agree with you.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Guess what?

Those of us that choose to not participate in violence tend to live longer.
