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.

Not how you spell his name, but I'll allow the disrespect to his name. Probably shouldn't have capitolized his name though....
Not how you spell "capitalized", and I won't allow you to disrespect an innocent word.
No, they were correct, the OP commenter should not have turned Ronald Reagan's last name into a state capitol.
It's always so fun when a pedant jumps into a thread.
Putin
Wait... Are we guaranteed that whoever comes next won't be as bad? Because, things can always get worse that's for sure
If things can always get worse then the corollary is that things can always get better too
Maybe when the horrible people see that a horrible person just melted away into nothingness after some rando snapped their fingers they might change their tune
Does "World's Richest Man" count as a leader? Because I'm struggling to think of any negatives to him being suddenly substracted from the world.
Also, TIL that substracted is a valid, albeit obsolete, variant of subtract.
Can't I just do all? Pretty please
Just hold Ctrl while you click them.
Ctrl+A to save you plenty of clicks.
I'ma hold shift
I'll admit, it would be pretty tempting. If I had the godlike power to scrap this iteration of the planet and just start over, I think I would.
I would also, minus the 'start over' part.
If you are talking about nation state leaders, I'm struggling to think of one where they don't just end up getting replaced with someone similar - Putin turning to magic dust doesn't suddenly dismantle the structure that allows for a dictator, so another dictator will slide into the void. Same with Trump - American politics doesn't stop being insane just cos he's not around, and now that people know/think that a politician of his style can win, there will be a queue to cynical imitators ready to go.
I'm less familiar with Indian politics, but I don't think the BJP suddenly loses its power if Modi disappeared. Israel will still have it's hard right nationalist core without Netanyahu. North Korea will find another Kim.
I guess my thesis is "focus on systems, not people"
Reagan
Rupert Murdoch
Netyanuh
Either Netanyahu or Putin
McConnel.
