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.

Both B5 and DS9 had bars on station, but have and space stations have a fast food restaurant?

That one is difficult because in star trek they had replicators that could make any food instantly. I've never actually watch B5, so can't speak on that, but at least in the star trek universe, fast food would be pointless unless it was in the Delta or Gamma quadrants because it was never spoken about with the residents there. Good question though

Voyager mentioned several times that replicator technology was not widely known in the Delta quadrant. They had Neelix cooking slow food to save on replicator energy usage. There were plot points of possible technology trade with the Kazon and others.

Star Trek still has traditionalists and hobbyists that prepare food without replicators. Sisko's father famously ran a Cajun restaurant in New Orleans. I wouldn't be surprised if someone ran a fast food burger shop because "the fries just don't crunch the same from a replicator" or something.

It also would be possible to have something like a replicator kiosk shop, which would be like fast food.

There are a few restaurants mentioned on the wiki, but they don't distinguish between traditional preparation and replicator food (it includes Quark's on the list). None of the space ones look like fast food though. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Restaurant
