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.

What are lemmy's favorite video channels for more depth then you get from average news and television sources?

Prerun is one that comes to mind as he digs, thinks, and explains, and is willing to say he's wrong. Business Insider is another one that has a great number of in depth topics, even if not quite as much as one might want sometimes. DW is another. RealLifeLore also seems to some great explaining. LegalEagle similar.

All of these are debatable to a greater or lesser degree, but I'm interested in alternative sources. What else is out there? What platform? Why?

Some other fun channels:

Hah checked out the B1M mega construction videos and immediately stumbled onto the Fehmarn tunnel project which brings up a memory from when I took the train from Germany to Denmark some 10 years ago. In the middle of the journey, the train suddenly went into a hangar and maybe fifteen minutes later we were asked to A) leave all of our stuff in the train and B) descend.

Which we begrudgingly did.

We all followed the person giving the orders up through some staircases and ... the weirdest thing I have ever experienced I think, through a door out on the deck of a large boat in the middle of the sea ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿต

Didn't expect that ๐Ÿ˜

Cool. That's pretty unique.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the train transfer from Mongolia to China. All train wagons are moves into a hangar in batches and lifted off their undercarriage. The undercarriages are removed, then the rail width is changed, new undercarriages are rolled in and the cabins lowered onto them... It was one hell of a sight.

I wouldn't call B1M in depth....

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I think that's kinda fair. They go further than a lot of info you see on the news though, so I think it will scratch OP's itch.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Lots of good ones in there. Thanks!

B1M is great, Mega Projects and others of Simon's channels are good (some better then others). Wendover is amazing, I just wish he out more out, but the production quality is probably to high to increase the rate.

I'll have to check the rest out. :)

Primitive technology: A guy using primitive technology to survive in his own piece of jungle

I've always wanted to make a meal entirely from scratch in memory of our ancestors. That means either growing or catching it with tools that I made myself. I'd have to prepare and cook it from scratch too Everything as if I was living 50k years ago. Just haven't found a tribe to do it with yet.

There's that guy that did that. He said it wasn't a very good sandwich.

*as this is a youtuber thread, he has a channel. It's okay. https://youtube.com/@htme?si=qfrFo68rA3Wi4cTL
