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.

Maybe this question seems stupid, so be it. But I've seen mostly bad news, and I struggle to get away from it.

I want to know this: What do you think is going to be good and or great in the upcoming four years of us politics?

The tariffs might increase US manufacturing as many people won't want to trade. Maybe.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

Or result in US businesses moving their trade dollars from tariff-affectrd countries to others that could really use the money, like Mexico or Central America.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have a feeling even if this happens we’ll still see an increase in American goods. That high of tariffs ensures there is no competition and American companies can charge whatever they want.

[–] delgato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We are just repeating history if he indiscriminately puts tariffs on businesses.

American made products do tend to have good quality to my knowledge

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Which products? All the ones designed in the US to be manufactured in China?

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Harley Davidson? Just the first one that comes to mind

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not actually a good example, most motorcyclists hate HD

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fair enough, ehm, intel cpu's?

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Also a bad example, there have been a lot of issues with their recent ones

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm, ye they've hit a bit of a stump recently

[–] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, there are a lot of them still lurking...

Liberty Tabletop, American Blanket Company, American Giant, Craftsman, etc

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

From what I know, most American-made items are manufactured with "prison labor" which is an euphemism for slavery.

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ohh, well that's not good
