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.

You could've said that before, and that still doesn't make anyone stupid.
But what is it with people on this platform getting off on calling others stupid for not meeting their arbitrary standards? So odd.
Arbitrary? Not knowing major events like this is not arbitrary. Screaming and yelling you are an America hater who doesn't care about 9/11 because you oppose the war in Iraq isn't arbitrary. Then or now.
This isn't a 'this platform' thing. It's reality.
Yes, it's arbitrary to call people stupid because they forget. But of all the things they could be, why is stupid the go-to insult?
What are you on about?
Lol Sure, dude, you and the bunch of people calling everyone else is stupid agree on that. Idk what they put in the water on these social media sites for some folks to pretend that they're the only smart people in the room at all times.
I'm on about exactly what I've been talking about all this time. This isn't a matter of 'I think Iraq maybe did 9/11'.
I'm talking about heated argument from people who are so convinced about that that they literally scream and yell. I have had those exact words screamed in my face by a person you are convinced is intelligent for some weird reason.
As for the rest of the post...it's ignorant and irrelevant bullshit. I've never claimed I'm the only smart person in the room. Only that if you believe that Iraq caused 9/11 and will argue this point till you are blue in the face you are a moron. Simple as that. Saying something INCREDIBLY STUPID can, very easily, prove you are stupid.
Sure, Jan. Go around calling everyone else stupid who doesn't think like you want them to, that definitely sounds like something intelligent people do.
