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.

we don’t have the tech to make an arm that can exceed human levels of strength without damaging something.

What if I don't need it to be gentile? Maybe I want to be Doctor Octopuss from spiderman, and just smash the city with big metalic arms. There's nothing wrong with wanting to destroy the world, because this world SUCKS! Have you seen......ya know, things??? I don't know a single person who's like "Yes, things are certainly going well."

Well, I guess a nice jewish arm would also be nice, but the gentile ones don't have to have the tip snipped

Sorry, the typo made me giggle

I'm with you! Supervillain origin story: go!

But, you want limits on what a piece of machinery strapped to you can do.

Ever see somebody lifting super huge weights, and the muscle just rips off and rolls up? Or someone carrying something huge and heavy (like my johnson) and take a step just a little wrong and bye-bye knee?

You get a mechanical arm, it's gotta be hooked to you. If the attachment is something like a strap, it doesn't matter what the arm can do, the strap is the weak point, and will eventually fail.

If the arm is grafted onto bone and muscle, guess what the weak point is. The arm can maybe lift a ton, but what actually happens is that either the ton just sits there while your arm pulls you to it; or, your arm pulls itself off of you in a spray of blood and gristle

Honestly, the first one of what would really happen if you were trying to pick something up. You don't have the mass and stability to move something that heavy, you'll get pulled to it.

But, let's say you're strapped to a crane by unbreakable chains. Then, pop-pop goes the shoulder right out of socket, tearing the flesh around it until the arm stops pulling.

Most likely, whatever would be translating your wishes to the arm would stop sending a signal after whatever connection broke, but if it was not done right, it would get ugly fast.

I think it was meant as "without damaging something in your body".
