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.

You ask questions here that you might feel stupid asking; questions you figure most people probably know, but you haven't figured out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

The full phrase is "there are no stupid questions."

Just install Linux and see for yourself.

You are supposed to ask questions that might be viewed as stupid, and you should receive an answer without judgement.

If you do that though you will get fucked and asked to install Linux.

I thought it's missing 1 Comma and 1 exclamation mark...

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think you're supposed to ask questions here that people elsewhere might think are stupid questions. The idea is that in this community, there are no stupid questions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So that means that for the most part it's only stupid questions being asked here?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

No, because there are no stupid questions.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

It means that no question will be considered stupid and your intelligence/experise will not be judged. So feel free to as any question as long as you're sincere and serious.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

are all questions asked here stupid questions? Or is that all questions asked here are about stupid things? Or is it perhaps that no questions are stupid, and we are just asking questions to gain knowledge?

Questions, questions, questions. Who has the answer?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

you're the answer? Or are you the question, and if you're the question, which one are you? There are three of them.

~~in case you didn't get the joke, im referencing the very last line of the post, it's the same structure as the beginning of it, amusingly enough.~~
