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.

I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was "Nick Swardson loitering". There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.

Is this really what it's come to? Ads are more important than what I'm actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?

i tried to find a clip of that olympics break dancing thing a week or two ago.

It was fucking impossible. I literally couldn't find shit, it was all AI generated videos.

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That one is a Olympic copyright issue. Either NBC since they pay so much for the rights or the IOC flag videos immediately so all your left with is low quality videos.

It genuinely ruins trying to find Olympics content if NBC doesn't cover that specific event

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

why would you ever copyright video clips of the olympics though, nobody fucking pays for cable or has time to watch streams. And we're also only talking about like 2 minutes worth of content, I'm pretty certain that would be fair use.

The Olympics are less and less about the athletes and what the human body and mind can achieve and more an more about the sponsorship deals. These corps pay big bucks for exclusivity deals.

yeah but that's all pre broadcast shit, it's irrelevant to some 3 minute clip being uploaded to youtube containing that segment of footage.

If you want people to care about it, it has to be accessible, and clearly, it's not very accessible.

thank god for piracy, finally i know what people were fucking talking about

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Thank you for this. I watched the whole thing. It's undeniable that Raygun can do a lot of things I can't, but her performance paled in comparison with the other competitors. Three four times I got the goosebumps when the other competitors did truly amazing moves!

This is to be expected, Google does the same thing with their search engine; delay providing the most accurate and related results in order to get users to see more ads per search.

i have adblock so they arent even getting any money

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I tried that yesterday to show some dinner guests. 20 videos later, I gave up

this is why i keep a local archive, only my stupidity and inability to find shit in my horde make me look like a dumbass.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Raygun is the best, but I also failed to find it and I have YouTube Red (or whatever Google calls it now). The Olympics was on that feed like hoss on some slop.

yeah idk i thought some of what she did was pretty good, she demonstrates good control, i think she mainly needs to work on fluidity and transitions though, some of them were awful.
