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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What a loaded question.

Outside of the fact that a single cows life provides about 900 meals for humans, and the scraps left over make boots that last for a decade and also feed our cats and dogs. Plus, it's delicious.

Imagine how many people you could feed if we would just eat what we fed the animals!

You start.

Let me know how a diet of grass works out for you, your digestive system, your immune system, and overall health.

Well I've been vegan for a long time and am healthier than many animal abusers, so it's going quite well for me :)

I don't believe you know enough animal abusers to make such a claim

[–] 0xD@infosec.pub 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Of course I can, everyone around me is eating animals ;)

Right, the systematic torture of millions of animals is absolutely not animal abuse.

Can you finish this documentary: https://watchdominion.org/ (YouTube)

Or will you keep your eyes closed?

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 days ago

the audio production in this propaganda piece is some of the worst I've ever encountered. it seems designed to torture the audience.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

it's not torture, and your propaganda film doesn't change the fact that eating meat isn't animal abuse

Why do people eat food they know isn't good for their health? Why do people continue to buy products from companies that have proven to only sell bad products or engage in scumbag practices?

They all have the same answer.

Why do people drive when they know it's bad for the planet

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because I live in America and there's pretty much no public transportation.

Trust me, if I had a train, I'd fucking use that sucker. Travel into town for my weekly errands AND I don't have to deal with people not using cruise control on a highway? SIGN ME THE FUCK. UP.

why do people live in America

[–] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 11 months ago

Because they don't have the money and the requisite professions to leave.
