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.

Tried it once, all it gave me though was a sunburn, figured it's probably not for me.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Did you paint yourself green and breathe high CO2 air?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This isn't a community to discuss opinions...try again on asklemmy.

[–] pocker_machine@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

I said I mean no offense. That negates all the bad connotations with this post, yes ?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Chlorophyll? More like BORE-ophyll!! Amiright?

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Maybe you'd find chemosynthesis more interesting. Bottom of the ocean, using Earth's heat, independent of the sun.

[–] AmidFuror@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm in favor. Helps fix carbon and ultimately release oxygen into the atmosphere. Essential for growing plants and blue algae, which are the basis of the global food chain.

Couldn't live without it.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 2 points 9 months ago

Agreed, definitely in favor. And those fungi are super handy in breaking down the cell walls of plants.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 11 points 9 months ago

Haha sugar go brrrr

I guess you take vitamin D supplements, huh?

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's pretty neat.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Need it, want it, can't have it.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 1 points 9 months ago

Green skin and photosynthetic 'bat wings'. Lunch, just chill out in the sunshine. Can't have it YET!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 9 months ago

Chlorophyll? More like boreophyll.

[–] mononomi@feddit.nl 4 points 9 months ago

Need it for food 7/10

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Pretty sure I'd die if I relied on it. Whenever I try to wear a solar powered watch it dies several times throughout the week

[–] Overzeetop@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's magic and we don't know how it works*.

* as of my latest coursework in Biology; IDK if anything has been discovered since the 80s.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

We know how it works now, YouTube has some basic and quantum mechanics level videos you should check out.

[–] blazera@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Posers will say they support it but then mow they lawns

It happens regardless.:-|

Frank Turner's best song, hands down

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

I think it's very cool that photosynthesis only works because it takes advantage of quantum uncertainty.

[–] atest123@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 9 months ago

It is a breath of fresh air.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Photosynthesis & mitochondria ( there is a Royal Institution talk by Nick Lake on the Krebs Cycle, and he mentions mitochondria in that as being central to most higher-life on this planet ) both are magic.

Without quantum-mechanics, neither work.

This world's life's totally dependent on their basis.

Chloroplasts getting the shaft again, I see. Underrated organelles.
