No Stupid Questions
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.

Which do you choose: genocide or WORSE genocide? You have to pick one. Not picking either gets you the latter by default. Make a choice.
Turns out there are stupid questions.
It's a stupid question. But that's the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it's probably going to be worse genocide.
Some people really don't grasp the concept of the trolley problem.
A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?
People who think the trolley problem has a clear cut solution that we have to "get" are on the starting edge of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
What group of people could Democrats kill that would leave you unable to support either party? Clearly, it’s not Arabs.
More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that's the choice on election day.
Edit: if all you're doing is not voting, you do nothing to help anyone. If you are actually helping in meaningful ways, then voting to pick the easier opponent does not undermine your work.
There’s absolutely no logical reason to believe that. Democrats have escalated war on three fronts with nuclear armed superpowers, and armed a genocide.
There are the words straight out of Trump's mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that's a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don't pick, you're likely to get worse genocide.
You believe the only options are versions of genocide, because you are in a MAGA death cult.
What's the other outcome of the US election?
Recognize that it is a farcical, illegitimate charade. You know, the only logical conclusion when you’re told you’re not allowed to choose no genocide.
That isn't an outcome.
Seems like it might be for millions of people who didn’t show up to the polls. Sure feels like the outcome.
