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.

I thought with the explosion of electric power and windmills and the electric vehicle boom, fossil fuels would not be required..

Yet, a lot of countries still generate coal and other fossil fuels, is it because there is still filthy amounts of profit there to be made? Maybe they are just so used to it they don't wanna swap to another resource?

I thought with Solar panels being massively produced, it would sell like hot cakes and you're literally having the power of the sun in your hand.

You really want me to care about your convinces when you don't care about the ecosystem?

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yeah. actually I do care about the ecosystem but I don't think messing up everything is the best way of fixing stuff. I'd much rather electric trains carry the bulk of transportation than simply stopping all transportation

if you want to 'save the world' while stopping

  • chip manufacture
  • the internet (because the world needs new chips often)
  • Lemmy (because no internet)
  • food (because less agriculture from other countries) <-- which we all want (no shipping = no avocados, no Indian spices)
  • medicine <-- which we need
  • the majority of jobs <-- which we really need

then go and try, but don't be surprised when no one is in favor of your insane plan

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ah yes, the insane plan of consuming less.

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you clearly didn't read the part of what I wrote where I mentioned medicine

this would kill people 🤦

or do you want the internet to disappear because no chips are being made? you don't want Lemmy to exist? wow

and at the same time you would want to cost everyone their jobs?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago
  1. Clearly you didn't read the part where I mentioned nuclear powered cargo ships.

  2. I like how you're putting more emphasis on jobs then medicine. I wonder where you're getting your proprieties from.

  3. If you want people to carefully read your whole post, maybe you should carefully use proper grammar. If you're going to write an essay, at least use proper punctuation.

  4. I don't expect anyone to follow any plan. I expect them to do the same thing they did through covid. Make the most selfish, self-centered discussions and cause the most unnecessary amount of suffering.
