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'd get a normal amount of food and carry on the way I have been. Cutting out the grocery bill would be a life changer.

Free food you say? I guess I can put up with the traffic...

How does complimentary gambling work btw?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

No vig on bets, no green tiles on roulette.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

So much noise! 😩

This is why we have zoning laws, folks.

I've been to Dallas, and I've been to San Antonio, but I have not been to Houston.

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

Houston is likely to have an expensive house next to a heroin car wash, then a museum, then a crazy expensive apartment building, then a housing project. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Weirdest-images-from-Houston-s-lack-of-zoning-laws-9171688.php

I can see that being a net positive. It makes it so that different classes of people have to interact with each other.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think you asked this in the wrong community, this is better suited for c/asklemmy. This community is for earnest questions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

So I take it that you interpret “no stupid questions” to mean “don’t post stupid questions.” The way I interpret it is “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”

The sidebar says “No such thing. Ask away!” So I think the idea is that people should feel free to ask any question assuming they really want an answer. However, joke or troll questions (and I don’t think this is either one), are allowed on Fridays.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

No, I interpret this community as a safe place to get answers for questions you'd be scared to ask because you think you'd get judged.

I see asklemmy as the place to ask fun trivia and make fun conversations.

I'm afraid people who have awkward questions might get scared away from the community if questions-for-fun like these were common.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

This felt too stupid for [email protected] but you are probably right about that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I'm in the opposite boat, this feels too opinionated, and not serious enough for c/nostupidquestions

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

The "what would you do" type of questions where everyone shares their subjective opinions is exactly the type of question asklemmy is for. Nostupidquestions is for questions seeking objective answers.

There will be a lot of strangers in the stairwell in my apartment building.

If the place was actually called "Temptation Mart", I would be very suspicious, a Temptation usually means that if you fall for it, something bad will happen.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

"Hey, Stoy, wanna go to the Temptations show with me?"

"I dunno... What's the catch?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

might have some fun having alcohol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I might check out some of the food, but the odds are pretty high that I won't like it. So I'm probably safe.

Sounds to me like we've solved scarcity. Excellent.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Great! Free food that I don’t have to cook! I’d be instantly spoiled. The rest of it I don’t care about.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All complimentary meaning free food? Well that helps me save quite a bit on groceries then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

If you can resist endless donuts and cakes and ice cream and all that!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Sublet my apartment

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Youd Become happy for a few months. And it would become normal, then eventually boring. And you would find hobbies again.

Look guys, @[email protected] has never tried fentanyl

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

i get a job at temptation mart, ez commute and discounts and maybe i can wear cute little horns at work!?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I move into the store permanently and then die of a heart attack after about a month. I imagine I would have no regrets.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

A month long, fatal binge is probably not that high of a budget. Don't let your dreams be dreams!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It's too easy to ignore these temptations if I have to go out and aquire them myself with my own money lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Keep this away from them!

(edit, not accusing of bad credit necessarily, just preempting a possible objection)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Oh god my neighborhood would become a magnet for annoying people. I'd move.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How does this affect your daily life?

It'd take a substantial amount of days off my life, but I consider that a bonus
