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.

Hmmm I don't see that kind of stuff in Denmark, possibly we already have laws preventing that sort of crap.

Safeway is the worst about it. They mark everything up by a preposterous amount, and then sell it at the regular price, but only if you're a "club member" and only if you buy 4 of whatever you needed one of. Then they sell your data after you make the purchase. Oh, and those were perishable goods, so you either massively overpaid for one item and wasted money, or you bought four, half of it spoiled before you could use it, and you wasted money.

Sounds pretty shit. We have "nemlig" for home delivery of groceries. Used it a few times, seemed reasonable.

I'm already jealous. Do the label prices also include taxes? Cause ours sure don't. lol

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Of course, it's always the same tax anyway and it must be included by law. The per weight price is also always stated but it's always in tiny text - my suggestion is simply to require it to be displayed just as prominently :)

Between you and Sandi Toksvig making it sound amazing, I'm seriously considering retiring to Denmark lol

It's the best country in the world if you ask me :)

But getting temporary and then later permanent residence, let alone citizenship is not easy, especially if you are not in the EU. Not that it's impossible.

In Québec, (some) of the grocery price tags include a fine print with the $/100g.
They go out of their way to make this the smallest thing possible though.
There's plenty of other misleading tagging going on too.
And I think it's only certain items, maybe not all.
It's a good idea and helpful, but should be more prominent and apply to literally all foods.

And that's before tax, although not all foods are taxed.
