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 am not criticizing them, I'm just out of the loop.

Gays are to Boomers as Trans is to Gen-X ers. I've been wondering what the marginalized group Millennials are going to have trouble with. My current guess is Poly, but that is just a guess at this point.

Groups I have trouble with as a millennial:

  • Fascists and neo-nazis
  • Groups which manufacture outrage that marginalize others (This can sometimes be focused/hidden inside of "_____ rights" groups, ironically)
  • Anti-intellectuals
  • Fringe extremists both on the left & right. They wrap around and are more like each other than they are to their "side"

One thing I don't understand is certain types of slang but I understand that's more a result of not being exposed to it regularly then anything else.

Ofc I don't understand people that identify as a dog, or a snake, or a duck. But they are free to do them, as long as they don't try and force that on me (ie. Inconveniencing others/trying to be the main character by being unprofessional in the work place, or making life harder for services/people that don't cater specifically to them...etc). I think that applies generally to anyone, but you seem to have to walk on eggshells if the person who is being a dick is of some other nature, as if that excuses the behavior.

While writing this I had an epiphany. My biggest gripes are harmless groups who are viewed as fragile, who are able to get away with behavior/actions that others cannot because others don't want to be viewed as _____Phobic and lynched. Empowering some of them to, generally, be assholes. That's what I can't stand.

I didn't used to believe in Horseshoe Theory, but then I learned about Tankies

Millennial here, no hate towards poly-folk. Seems exhausting, but do you boo.

I expect it will be something AI related, like wanting them to have rights or whatever as they approach mimicking human behavior and ~~appearing~~ being alive (see, did it there). Likely because of a decade or so of us being economically threatened, and not viewing them as things that can think/'feel/not-want-to-die or whatever.

[–] MaxVerstappen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No fucking way will I ever support AI having rights. It's game over then, just hand all the power to corpos.

I'm a millennial, and the only people I have a beef with are the "Bar Nazis", you know, the kind of people who are outright fascists, but they try to hide it because they think that they can convert you.

[–] vaultdweler13@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im gen z and I just want to sacrifice Nazis.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're allowed to say this here without catching a "Advocating for Violence!" message from staff?

Dang, it really was time to leave Reddit (Seriously they sent me a warning for agreeing with a guy who said he wanted to punch Nazis.. They're... NAZIS! It's okay to hate Nazis, they literally hate literally everyone else!)

It's not that hard. Capitalists and neoliberals
