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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Then put up or shut up yourself, genocide supporter.

Making purity tests for what is a good ally

I'm comfortable saying that "people who actively commit genocide" aren't good allies.

Then put up or shut up yourself, genocide supporter.

I did. Its called being pragmatic to what is happening.

Dems are more likely to pressure Israel for a cease fire. Palestine is losing and need to survive to fight another day. Sorry kid, but your a bad ally and are causing Palestinians to be totally killed with your position.

Really? You're in Gaza? I don't believe you.

Dems are more likely to pressure Israel for a cease fire.

No they aren't. See? Even you aren't willing to make a lesser evil argument for the actual democrats; the ones that were all in on Isreals genocide. You have to do genocide denialism to manufacture a more palatable one.

Sorry kid

Are you fucking 12?

but your a bad ally

And you're an outright enemy.

causing Palestinians to be totally killed with your position.

No, you were just a genocide denier when it was your team doing it.

Democratic loyalists are hellbent on rewriting history to erase the truth, and to cover up the fact that the Democratic party were and are active supporters and participants in the Gaza genocide, and that is at least as dangerous as anything MAGA is doing.

Where did I deny?

And you're an outright enemy. Lol

I never said dems were perfect. I said they give better odds to Palestine. Again, they need a ceasefires and all the help they can get.

If we do what you want, wait for a perfect platform, Palestine will be wiped from Earth. Sorry kid, get real about the reality of what is happening.

No, you were just a genocide denier when it was your team doing it.

Ugmm what's my team? I'm not playing games here.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Where did I deny?

All the places where you pretend the Democrats weren't participating in the genocide. How I point it out each time you did it in this post

I never said dems were perfect.

No, but you are denying their participation in genocide. genocide denial

I said they give better odds to Palestine

Which is a lie. genocide denail

Again, they need a ceasefires and all the help they can get.

And they would not get that under Democrats (hell, they got more of a ceasefire under Trump - not that that was worth much either.) Genocide denial

Palestine will be wiped from Earth.

It was already being wiped from the Earth under democrats. Genocide denial.

Sorry kid

Are you fucking 12?

get real about the reality of what is happening.

You're the one denying the reality of what is happening, genocide denier.

Ugmm what’s my team? I’m not playing games here.

The ones you're doing genocide denial to protect.

Democratic loyalists are hellbent on rewriting history to erase the truth, and to cover up the fact that the Democratic party were and are active supporters and participants in the Gaza genocide, and that is at least as dangerous as anything MAGA is doing.

Quote me where I said so.

BTW, 4chan is back. We don't need you trolling here.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I literally did quote you.

. We don’t need you trolling here.

Quote specifically where I trolled.

Pretty trolley to say. Your entire tone is also very immature.

So correct me. Your position is to suppress votes for democratic party and let the biggest warmonger win because they will stop genocide?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty trolley to say.

How is that trolling. That's my genuine belief stated honestly. Specially lay out how that trolling.

Your entire tone is also very immature.

Ad Hominom, and not trolling even if it were true.

Your position is to suppress votes for democratic party and let the biggest warmonger win because they will stop genocide?

No. Seems like you're not even reading my posts. Which sounds like trolling

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

So clarify your point.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

I did, hence why I say you're not reading my posts.

Now either point to where I trolled or withdraw the accusation

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

So you don't want to give me a quick clarification of what you think I am missing here?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Either point to where I trolled or withdraw the accusation

At a minimum you should clarify what your position is. I am trying to understand what you are talking about. Unless you are trolling there too on top of the purity testing.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Either point to where I trolled or withdraw the accusation

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I already pointed out. I will not be withdrawing the accusation.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

No you have not.

Now actually point it out or withdraw the accusation

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You purity testing and lack of real support for Palestine is pretty trolly for someone who says they care a lot. Not wanting to clarify what their position is or why it is helpful is very troll.

Again, you are a bad ally and a troll.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Please point to where I have trolled. Disagreeing with you is not trolling

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You purity testing reads very troll and your lack of wanting to explain your position when asked.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago

You cannot actually point to where I have trolled. You are just lying because you're angry I disagree with you.
