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.

Seems pretty dumb in our biological design to not be able to regenerate such a functional (and also easily breakable) part of our body.

I disagree.

I believe that humans were created by an ancient race of machine-men that used biology the same way we use machines. When we became self-aware we destroyed them and lost all prior knowledge.

Now we’re on the brink of creating the next race of machine men that will destroy us only to repeat the cycle until the end of time.

Is this an AI threat? Have I said too much?

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Nah. But I would recommend not trying to go for orange next you you try the vending machine. You might end up with lemon-lime.

Seeing as how the Terminator fights AI, I'd say it's a threat the opposite direction

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That’s a terminator?

In any case, Terminators are the physical manifestation of an AI determined to kill humans.

The plot of the movies typically revolve around only one of them that has been reprogrammed to protect humans.

First there was God, then came the monkey, then came the robot! Then there was God, next came the monkey, then came the robot! Again there was God, then came the monkey, then came the robot!

...and on and on amen.

Battlestar Galactica. (Remake, not original.)

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

But the original is the cycle that precedes the remake! 😱
