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.

Assuming you are talking about who won the US presidential election. Happened 8 years ago too, it wasn't the end of America then. It won't be the end of America now.

8 years ago, the GOP wasn't crammed with MAGA, the judiciary wasn't crammed with MAGA, and the executive wasn't going to be crammed with MAGA.

I think you are assuming wrong...

It ain't end of America either way, just plebs getting fucked harder every passing year

Be prepared for the doomers to tell you why you are wrong. God speed, brother.

Well, by now the Supreme Court has been supplanted and intent to overthrow democracy has been shown. That's a big difference to last time. So it's not exactly the same situation.

But we'll see how robust American democracy is.

Yeah, forcing Trump onto the ballot despite the insurrection because congress hadn't passed a law to enforce the constitution and then making the president a fucking king are a huge difference from 2016. Not to mention Trump appointed jusges throwing out his cases and his 34 felonies not being a sign that he should 't be elected again after his disastrous first term.

Yeah, this is way worse and the only hope is Republican infighting keeping the worst from happening again.

The saying is really about asking god to remove obstacles from your path and facilitate faster travel. A little like "goodbye" is a very shortened "may god be with you."

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

TIL the etymology of goodbye is a contraction of "god be with you."

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Which is why I always just say, "Later, butt sniffers."

[–] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kinda makes "bye bye" seem a little weird, eh?

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Be with you, be with you.

Infinite, I guess?

More than 55 mph, that's for sure.
