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.

Why am i getting down voted this is litterally the no stupid questions sub.

Rule 1 of the sub says the title of any post must be a question. Your post title is a sentence, not a question.

PRAISE DALE

Eh if there is i'll be there after death and eternity is plenty of time to do so anyway .

The reason you are being downvoted is because you're reminding people that the internet has a lot of very young folks on it. People don't really want to be reminded of that, they want to feel like all the hijinks that internet people get up to are with adults. But if your age cohort is here on a niche service like Lemmy, then there must be more of you elsewhere, on other services too. This is genuinely unhealthy, in many different ways, so it disturbs people.

So, they downvote you for reminding them of something they'd rather not think about. Afaik though, there is nothing wrong with this question being posted here.

Regarding the question itself, we do tend to call them urban myths for a reason. People have not yet outgrown silly, superstitious thinking from centuries ago. It's not necessarily an age thing either, plenty of older superstitious folks too. lol

Oh, and welcome to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Im young yes but also an adult. SHIT is lemmy full of 50 year olds or something ?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Phn'glui Have you tried calling the great Chtulhu ? https://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/110/Cultists/

And without going in recent fiction, modern culture has tons of stories of Demon, and ritual about summoming them

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Some people insist remote viewing and astral projection are real. See if you can figure out how to do them and, ideally, prove them.

Read about Three Kings, great concept even if it's all BS. There is a subreddit about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Is there a sublemmy

Given this is nostupidquestions, I'm going to treat this like it's a serious question.

This being said and not that I believe in it, but you might as well do it right and start by reading something like this:

https://archive.org/details/three-books-of-occult-philosophy-henry-cornelius-agrippa-donald-tyson-edition/page/n1/mode/2up

Or this:

https://archive.org/details/the-book-of-abramelin-german-to-english-translation/page/32/mode/2up

(For the Fallout fans, this is almost certainly where the name of the Parson's State Asylum Abremalin Field Generator in Fallout 4 comes from.)

Or this:

https://ia902505.us.archive.org/13/items/stephen-skinner-the-goetia-of-dr.-rudd/Stephen%20Skinner%20-%20The%20Goetia%20of%20Dr.%20Rudd%20%282010%29.pdf

Or read up on Crowley, who was also inspired by lots of this kind of stuff.

It's all super interesting, because this kind of thing has been bubbling under the mainstream for centuries, often vestiges of pre-christian pagan religion basically, even if a lot of it is quite modern. Movies and fictional works which do their research and incorporate elements of this are also quite interesting:

Examples: Antichrist (2009), The Witch(2015) and Annihilation(2018).

Obviously, be careful with this kind of thing. Take it too seriously, spend hours reading up on it, and you start thinking "hmm, maybe there's something to this." at which point you're literally engaging in delusional thinking. It's a rabbit hole basically. And obviously you know it's all nonsense, but humans are inherently superstitious animals.

I too don't belive in it as i am an atheist but i'm also bored . Also thanks

Candyman and Bloody Mary only work if you believe :P

Just say a regular prayer to the christian god but call him a shithead and see if he smites ya.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Shithead ? I have called gods more than that . And yes i am severely fucked but i don't think its because gods exist if he did i have challenged him multiple time to fight to death why not accept that and prove it to me instead of just cursing me endlessly ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is that how it works?

I call him a shit head and he smites me. Do you think he would be fooled if I burned a written prayer with trump’s forged signature?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

You can try

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

EDIT : Why am i getting down voted this is litterally the no stupid questions sub.

Because the point is to have a place to ask questions without having them judged as "stupid". It's "we will try to treat questions like they're not stupid" and this comes across as trying very hard to make that impossible.
On the off chance you're not trolling, be advised it sure as hell looks a lot like you're trolling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

O k i edited . I hope now itsmore clear i am not trolling . Cheers

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and this is quite literally a stupid question, hence the downvotes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

You don't know what this community is do you ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

@THEMASTERMIND

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)
