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.

It's suicest.

Also, if you guys could provide a solid answer sooner rather than later?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Answer mine first: Can I use the cloning machine next?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

As long as you're not one of those people who gets squeamish over the sight of dead clones, have at it.

Just don't get obsessed with fucking your clone or it could get crazy.

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

Wow. That was fucked up.

"designed to be sung to the tune of 'Home on the Range.'"
(1) Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And after it’s grown
Then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.
(Chorus) Clone, clone of my own
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And when I’m alone
With my own little clone
We will both think of nothing but sex.
(2) Oh, give me a clone
Is my sorrowful moan,
A clone that is wholly my own.
And if she’s X-X
And the feminine sex
Oh, what fun we will have when we’re prone.
(3) My heart’s not of stone,
As I’ve frequently shown
When alone with my own little X
And after we’ve dined,
I am sure we will find
Better incest than Oedipus Rex.
(4) Why should such sex vex
Or disturb or perplex
Or induce a disparaging tone?
After all, don’t you see
Since we’re both of us me
When we’re having sex, I’m alone.
(5) And after I’m done
She will still have her fun
For I’ll clone myself twice ere I die.
And this time without fail
They’ll be both of them male
And they’ll each ravage her by and by.

I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down

Nothing wrong with a little masturbation as long as you don't pull a full San Junipero with yourself

You wouldn't download a clone.

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

Yes, a clone is not yourself (masturbation) and is not a doppelganger but a entity similar to but not itself yourself. So 1 doesn't equal 1.5

As gay as jacking off your own dick??

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

Wait hold on, now I have a question. If I wouldn't want to fuck me, does that mean no one would?

Jesus my self-confidence just took a massive hit

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

Let's be real, your self confidence wasn't all that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No, it really wasn't all that lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I mean I don't want to fuck Rhea Perlman but evidentially Danny DeVito did, so y'know lotsa fish out there to fuck or whatever the saying is.

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

I guess that just means you're not autosexual! Um, would that make you allosexual? The aces already nabbed that term

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

Wait, allosexual means not asexual right?

And yes I'm not autosexual, definitely heterosexual. But I think the question here isn't autosexual as autosexual is with themselves but another person as themselves?

Technically this is an impossible scenario we are trying to figure out but damn yo we straight up philosophizing

A twin is a genetic clone and that would be considered incest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Sorry but the only that comes to mind is this:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Without some kind of rapid aging, a clone of yourself would have to be grown from infancy. I suppose if you were cloned at an early age, and then waited until your clone was of age for consensual sex, it would be incest.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

If you had sex with your identical twin, is it incest?

What's the difference with a clone? Is it because they are grown in a vat? Is it because they're a different age? Do they have no rights and soul like a replicant?

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

I think that would be a hard argument to sustain. Say one batch comes out of the machine extra humpy/rapey and just comes at you, humping, grinding, the works. How would that fit into your masturbation framework?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kinda takes "Go fuck yourself!" out of the insult cannon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

"Oh yeah, already did man! And not to toot my own horn (again) but I gotta say...."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

there are some ahem "works of fiction" that not only explore that, but also refer to it as "selfcest"

so... yes and no? yesn't?

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

I don't think so because every so often in my life people have told me to .... go fuck myself

It's an act that many of us would condone for others .... especially Larry, he's a real jerk, he can go fuck himself

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you grow up and have deep familial bonds with your clone? Accidental reproduction isn't a consideration because your clone will match your sex.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

True. But you could adopt.
