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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Greta Thunberg
Eliezer Yudkowsky
His mother when she insisted he at least try a bite of mashed potatoes before deciding he doesn’t like them after he complained that they're not paleo. Caveat here: she stopped being an antichrist later that week when he asked for a treat and she let him have one.
His coffee table after he banged his little toe on one of its legs in the middle of the night.
See his new self-help book, if you want to know more:
"Everything I Don't Like Is an Antichrist: Better Living by Reframing Your Reality as a Dualistic War between Good and Evil in which You Are Always on the Side of Good No Matter What."
Seriously, though, this guy has no idea what a/the antichrist would be like based on the literature he's purportedly referencing. He's not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.
Imagine reading/watching The Lord of the Rings and interpreting it as a tragic tale in which the noble protagonist is defeated at the end. That will give a pretty good idea of who he is, what he's doing, and why.
Edit: Formatting
Isn't that him and his entire social circle?
if you asked a random person off the street:
hi which one of these people do you think is most likely the Antichrist:
I'm going to guess most people will pick option 3.
I didn't even know who Eliezer was, I just skimmed his Wikipedia page.
I'm an atheist, but hearing about a billionaire defense contractor who goes on rants about the antichrist makes me think "hmm maybe this dude is the Antichrist".
It just reminds me too much of those super anti-paedophilia guys who make anti-paedophilia their entire personality and then turn out to have terabytes of CSAM on their laptop.
I believe that's an entirely correct assessment, yes.
I believe Thiel's name is one of the ones found in the Epstein emails.
Peter Thiel explicitly sided with Sauron in one interview, saying “things worked in Mordor, while outside it it's all wishy-washy and environmental”.
Well that's basically what happened though, an enlightened leader who brought prosperity and fulfilling work to the masses got brutally cut down multiple times.
But did that stop him? No! he just keeps on coming back, because he had a dream! A dream that got brutally squashed by terrorists and a despot who had an excellent PR Division, spinning their revisionist history propaganda to the gullible masses.
Apparently it does not take one to know one.
