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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Technically, I’m sorry, but that’s incorrect. Even if you own a company, you are still doing work. You may not be doing the physical manual labor, but you’re still doing work.
Not if you are rich enough you don't. Most people still do because everybody needs something worthwhile. But you don't strictly need to work when you have reached some arbitrary level of wealth and ownership.
If you parked a million dollars in QYLD, you'd get about $120k per year (pretax) in exchange for your contribution to society of "having a spare million dollars"
I will of course do my own reading on the subject, but how consistent is this? Does it have to be a million, or can it be a couple hundred? I am selling everything and seeking asylum overseas and may not have much ability to work for a while. Please tell me more.
It's an ETF, you can buy as much or as little as you want. My understanding is that they take their money and sell options (covered calls) with at-the-money strike prices on NASDAQ. Each month, they pay out dividends, something like 1% per month (bit over 12% on a yearly basis). So if you park 100$, you get like a free dollar per month, or 12 per year.
It's not hugely popular because you pay short term gains taxes on the dividends, a lot of tech does better than 12%, the shares can decrease in value if NASDAQ goes down, and if you wanted to (and had the startup cash), you could do the exact same thing without paying the ETF fees - buy 100 shares of QQQ for 62k, then sell a covered call for a month out, rinse repeat
And how did you get that million?
Inheritance. Your move.
Usually, rich parents.
Just a simple loan to start off. Just a million dollar loan
You think they got it by "working" ??😂😂😂
“be part of the owner class” they said - not “be a business owner”
It’s completely possible to own a piece of this and a piece of that and just sit and watch the checks come in. You just need to enter the picture with enough liquid cash. You’re not sorry they’re technically incorrect - you just don’t know anyone actually in this class.
