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'm a conservative. I don't mind the liberal stuff here. It's good to learn the other side, but I don't want a liberal echo chamber. I'd like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

Who is calling for white genocide?

I see people claim this all of the time and they never have any actual evidence of this claim. Whereas the right in the US literally advocated banking people for their religious beliefs, and the KKK is still a politically active group.

Which group chants "lock xxx up"

Which group is banning books across the nation?

Which group is literally boring their rights away (see recent vote in Ohio where 1.3 million people voted to reduce their own voting rights)

What opinions are being called for censorship on a governmental level? The left used to some effect social pressure, but only one group is trying to ban books, block education, deny the existence of groups of people, and trying to jail doctors for providing medical care. (See Florida, Texas and Tennessee)

Who is calling for any genocide? We’re constantly being told there’s a trans genocide going on, but curiously no trans people are being rounded up and killed.

As for white genocide, well there are calls for it in South Africa at the moment. Google “kill the boer”. There are plenty of black people on Twitter in the USA saying similar things.

Which groups are advocating for “banking” people? (Also what does that even mean?)

Cool, the KKK exists - so do anti-white groups. BLM exists.

Which group chants “lock xxx up”?

I have no idea, what are you referring to?

Your comment on book banning is typical propaganda. No one is asking for books to be banned, just for inappropriate books to not be accessible to kids. That’s not banning.

What voting rights did those in Ohio vote away?

No one is trying to “deny the existence of a group of people”, that’s yet again just more far left “progressive” propaganda like the “trans genocide” thing.

As for the jailing doctors for providing medical care, we’ll the issue at hand is what is and isn’t medical care, and when it’s appropriate. Cut any perfectly functional sexual organs off a child? Yep, straight to jail you should go. Prescribe puberty blockers to a child? Yep, straight to jail you should go.

"There are plenty of black people on Twitter in the USA saying similar things." You can find extremists on Twitter for anything. There's no organizer group. And if you're going to argue that blm takes this position, a citation is needed. Not just some whack-a-doodle who supports blm but actually blm.

Ah yes, that you don't have the reading comprehension necessary to put together context clues that banking was a typo for banning. That actually explains literally everything.

Knowing that I can just dismiss everything else because you're either maliciously using a simple typo, in which case this isn't a conversation that is happening in good faith, or you're too stupid to debate with.

Eta: it's absolutely adorable you think you won. I did address exactly one point you made. Specifically because you were exactly predictable enough to know, beyond a doubt, that you would gloss over it. Bless your heart

I note that you didn’t answer a single question but instead opted to make a pathetic excuse to dismiss it all 😂 . If me asking what you meant when you literally made a mistake is all it takes for you try run away crying and then it shows you can’t defend your position. Absolute weak sauce.
