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.

People like me? What exactly is that supposed to mean? My race? My occupation? My financial or marriage status?

Please describe these people.

How? I don't know what you're like.

Clicking into this comment thread even though I know it's just feeding a troll.

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

people like me are guilty of stereotyping people like you

I work in software. If you go to college for a bachelors in Computer Science, (I hope) at some point you'll be taught the story of the Therac-25.

Beyond that, blockchain, LLMs, stable diffusion/DALLE/etc.

If I'm taking this seriously, OP seems to be getting at the idea that people always insinuate "the other" is responsible for horrors, but that people in the same group are innocent? I don't think everyone does that though

oversalt my soup 😔

People like me either forgot about it, or put it off until the very last second.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I think you probably win this round of well-sleeping-psychopaths, well done!

As an over thinker - I probably created too much of a soap box for my inner accuser.

As someone who's facetious, I've ~~probably~~ offended plenty of those around me.

As a cyclist, I am that kind from time to time.

As a chocolate eater, I absolutely support slavery and I'm not proud about it.

As a meat-eater and wanna be veggo - I'm ashamed of how we treat and farm animals.

But as a human, I'm fucking always confused, forgetful and utterly imperfect, not deserving of any redemption whatsoever. If I was more charismatic, I'd probably start a suicide cult

edit I like the question, but maybe if you framed it so it encouraged a little more curiosity, you'd probably get more traction?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Like, white people in general?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 months ago

None that I can think of. I am perfect in every way. 😌

According to society, not having the motivation to focus because I am just simply lazy.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry you're getting so much hate over this.

Those people's answers must be "I get defensive when somebody insinuates that I have EVER made a mistake."
